Joey Barton - WTF?

I know I shouldn't, but just been reading the Daily Fail and it says Barton is starting against Arsenal this afternoon.



I thought he'd been shown the door by Newcastle and was on his way to anyone who would take him So how can he be back in the first team?

What does it all mean? Or has The Fail got it completely wrong? I think we should be told........

PS: Good luck this evening - you won't need it against a new under-improved Arsenal but I thought I'd be a gent about it anyway.
