    They will all be pushing Slav to drop him under his Zero Policy just because it will hurt the club and if he does not they will call Slavs policy rubbish,
    I agree not guilty until proven and middle finger to the Sun,
    Not saying he is innocent or right in any way before the idiots start telling me I defend women beaters,

  • Chicken Runner says:

    Better tell that to The Sun then.I think they will be doing more damage to the guy than anyones opinion on here,lol

    innocent until proven guilty. can we remember this please. As stated there was an allegation against him for damage, malicious comms and common assault. it is not stated that he actually did this – it was just alleged. the police will have to investigate to confirm all details. if he was in anyway in trouble do you think that he would have played against the Gunners with Slav’s zero tolerance policy?
    If he did assault anyone then he needs to be punished to the full extent of the law, same as anyone that uses violence against another.
    We are not in possession of all the facts here so it is just paper talk at the moment and any supposition on this is just damaging to the guys reputation.

    By the way not excusing any actions there, if they are proven true, in this or any case. Just that he hasn’t physically harmed anyone and isn’t a woman beater. Barton on the other hand, is a convict.

  • jetshammer says:

    Woman beater? No the charges would be more serious if he had actually physically assaulted her in some way, like a S47 (ABH) or S18 (GBH). In other words, she may have been in fear of violence from Sakho, rather than he actually committed any act of violence. Criminal damage? Broke her phone or something? Malicious comms? Sent a text calling her something derogatory? Doubt this will go any further.

    Even if he is charged i bet the charges will be dropped & his girlfriend doesnt pursue it.Thats the noramal route these things take.Then all the Barton Thug gang can go back to calling Sakho a good boy who would never have touched his girlfriend,haha.Same as Morrison,guilty as sin but innocent because his gf dropped everything,lol

  • Radai Lama says:

    To be fair to the lad he aint be charged.Could be innocent.Pretty sure the charges will be dropped anyway.Prem players seem to have a way of making these things go away.Money can achieve many things 😉

  • bubs says:

    Knew it was going to well
    We need that forward a bit quicker now Mr Gold you probably will need to make that 2 just to be on the sure side,
    Silly boy

  • Radai Lama says:

    This has p*ssed on the ‘Barton Is A Thug’ crews party,lol 😉

  • sleepswithdafishes says:

    I wonder if his wife knows lol I bet she does now

  • Dainon says:

    Oh dear, lets hope its all a load of steaming Cow dirt

  • Si Hammer says:

    Wonder if these same fans who were going to stop supporting West Ham if we signed a thug like Barton will now also stop supporting us if Diafra is charged & sentenced.Barton man beater,Diafra,possible woman beater.I know which is worse.Reckon there will he many people suddenly develop double standards when it comes to this story,lol
