My dad does this unintentionally when speaking English to foreign people. I don't think Barton/McLaren did it deliberately they just thought it would be a good idea and they'd be more understandable...

I'm with Flashheart on this. I like Joey Barton. Yes, he is a bit of a moron, but he means well by it most of the time. He's not vindictive or racist etc. Perhaps putting an accent on isn't the best thing to do, but I'd be a liar if I said I'd never spoken English in a foreign accent when I couldn't remember what the words were in German/French etc.

I like to think he's lived in France for a few months and forgotten how to speak English properly. Poor little guy.

In all fairness, I'm in Japan at the moment, and it is genuinely much easier for the locals to understand me if I speak English with Japanese letter pronunciation (which generally involves making everything sound a bit racist). In fact, it seems to work better than my actual basic Japanese most of the time, so perhaps Barton/McClaren are on to something.

Certainly not vindictive enough to stub out a cigar in someone's eye.... oh.

Barton has got to be one of most delusional cunts on the planet. As thick as shit and a nasty piece of shit as well.

I went on a day trip to France when I was 12, but a group passport covered us for that.

We went to an ice cream van, a hypermarket and a rural bread factory. It was very underwhelming

You saw the good bits of France then! (the ones not populated by Frenchmen)
