Today, and every Tuesday, he will be acting as referee on your opinions on the Premiership. Let him know what you think and he’ll argue the toss with you. We’ll be offering a free sports prize to the star contribution each week. This week Manchester City’s woes, like Joey Barton’s backside, get a full airing; we debate Mourinho’s cunning plan to make his team more entertaining by giving opponents a head start; the RTÉ triumvirate are in trouble again; there’s praise for Demon Berba; and a wry look at New Wembley. Letter of the week goes to Nick McGlinchey from Clare for services to the noble art of the pun. Let’s have a land address Nick and the Special One is all yours.
SURELY the appropriate song for Joey Barton is “you’re not fit to wear the shorts?”
