Summary
So, you think you know Joey Barton. Think again.
No Nonsense is a game-changing autobiography which will redefine the most fascinating figure in British football. It is the raw yet redemptive story of a man shaped by rejection and the consequences of his mistakes. He has represented England and been a pivotal player for Manchester City, Newcastle United, Queens Park Rangers, Marseille, Burnley and Glasgow Rangers, but his career has featured recurring controversy. The low point of being sent to prison for assault in 2008 proved to be the catalyst for the reevaluation of his life.
No Nonsense reflects Barton's character - it is candid, challenging, entertaining and intelligent. He does not spare himself in revealing the formative influences of a tough upbringing in Liverpool and gives a survivor's insight into a game which, to use his phrase, 'eats people alive'. The audiobook is emotionally driven and explains how he has redirected his energies since the birth of his children. In addition to dealing with his past, he expands on his plans for the future. In this updated edition he speaks frankly about the gambling addiction that has left him facing a hefty ban. The millions who follow his commentaries on social media and those who witnessed him on BBC's Question Time will be given another reason to pause, and look beyond the caricature.

The lack of self awareness is wonderful
This is a super entertaining book. It especially came to life for me when he opened the kimono to how the dinosaurs of English football, Pardew, 'Harry' Warnock et al behave and interact with the team. I also was interested in Joey's biography and early story.
Some people will be critical of Joey's writing style which mirrors how he talks when he broadcasts. Sure it's pretentious and for sure he get's similes and metaphors terribly wrong but he does so in quite an endearing way. It doesn't grate the way this often does.
But, oh my goodness, there is a total disconnect from reality when it comes to his football ability.
The book reads like the memoirs of one of the greats. A unique talent derailed to the top by a self destructive streak and society.
The reality is far from this. A great footballer but not one of the greats. He clearly had talent to play in the top flight but even if he had a calm private life and personality he would never be a top top player.

Compelling for any football enthusiasts,
highly recommended and a great insight into the life, mind and troubles of a local lad from liverpool. anyone with a vetted interest in sport should listen. it's a no holds barred insight into football and its characters and the journey of one of footballs most loved and hated characters.

There’s only one joey Barton
What a player, what a man’s man and now an accomplished book writer, gripping, heartbreaking, heartwarming. Forget your opinion on joey/joe until you’ve read or listened to this book.
AWSOME!!!
