#TheBartonEffect: Olympique Marseille Fan Erupts Over Joey Barton’s Imminent Loan Move
By Chris Wright
Word on the wire is that QPR reprobate Joey Barton is about to put the ‘arse’ in Marseille, with a season-long loan to L’OM said to be very close to completion this morning (with Marseille’s Stephane M’Bia going to other way).
The reaction within Marseille circles hasn’t really been one of ‘bonhomie’, indeed we believe this chap is probably talking on behalf of most fans when he says…

Under reaction, for my money.
I really dont see whats in it for Marseille. Barton for Mbia is a rip off, even if it is only for 1 season loans.
The 93 tag indicates north suburbs of Paris :)
This bloke should be fun to follow on twitter if Barton actually “sings” for Marseille.
“what the actual fuck?!!” – comedy gold
Steph – is it not because he’s 19 (and an idiot)?

Never knew Mohammed Ali was an avid Marseille fan
@Mr Chopper: could be yes, especially since the guy lives in London, not in France. I don’t really see what the suburbs of Paris have to do with it. Anyway, quite a funny guy for a Marseille fan, I’ve met others way more idiot than him.
Please Sparky PLEASE make this happen!!
In the name of all things Albert Camus, Marseilles is the place for Joey!!
Make this happen NOW!!!
Has someone actually told Barton that Marseille is in France?
