Yesterday, Joey Barton began a six month jail sentence for assault and affray after a night out in Liverpool turned violent. On the night in question, Barton admitted to drinking 10 pints and five bottles of lager when out with family and friends, and then they went to a McDonalds restaurant where he got into an argument with another group of people.

CCTV footage showed Barton knocking a man and then punching him four or five times. You can gain a big advantage from testing how far the rules will bend. As we are seeing with Lance Armstrong and the culture of cheating in cycling that has emerged, where there is huge prize money and huge contracts at stake, people are prepared to bend the rules.

Sacrifice: Suarez prevented a Ghana goal with his hands at the World Cup - Barton would've done the same. Using performance-enhancing drugs is one end of the scale and diving or looking to gain an advantage through unfair means is at the other end, but all of it is outside the laws of the game.

He pleaded with the ref not to award it. In that case Arsenal offered a replay which was accepted and that was fair. Red mist: Barton No 17 was sent off at the Etihad last season and tried to take Man City players with him. I knew I was getting sent off and I tried to get one of the City players sent off.

I know the line Luis Suarez walks and it never changes. People never forget it and whenever something happens to him — or even myself — the past always gets dragged into it.

Damn right. You've got a way to keep me on your side You give me cause for love that I can't hide For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide Because you're mine, I walk the line. Argos AO.

In May, he was banned for an unprecedented 12 games for his red card at Manchester City, obtained for violently attacking three yes, three opposing players in the final match of the season.

Like a scene from a Jackie Chan film, Barton elbowed Carlos Tevez, planted a knee into Sergio Aguero from behind, and almost as an afterthought attempted to headbutt current City captain Vincent Kompany. Any one of these offenses are worthy of a red card and lengthy ban, but Sensei Joey Barton is not a man to do things by half. Whilst we might condemn his rough conduct against Manchester City last season, it undeniably added to the entertainment value of the game.

Barton drops his shorts in the direction of the Everton home fans at Goodison Park. Leading up to this event, Barton had been involved in an altercation with a 15 year old Everton fan at his team hotel in Bangkok.

While drinking in Liverpool city during the early hours of the morning, Barton is again at the centre of a spat, this time at a McDonalds restaurant.
