Newcastle and England midfielder Joey Barton has been arrested by police in Liverpool following an alleged assault.
The footballer was arrested along with a 19-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman on Church Street in the city centre at 0530 GMT.
Merseyside Police confirmed the three were being held in custody.
A spokesman said: "All three remain in custody for interview and processing and I expect a decision on charges or release will be made later tonight."
If these allegations turn out to be true, this will most certainly mean a lengthy prison sentence for barton, and good. The guy and his family are thugs and deserve to be locked up, he should been before now anycase. The fact he called us fans viscious is UNBELIEVABLE, what does he call his actions just minor arguements.

so fickle, and such a joke.... you toon fans will never learn and it' a shame...
hmm i wonder who made that comment ^^
fickle haha, we've seen the worst football for 30 years and not won a trophy for 50 so i believe we are the most patient in the country
Put that in ur pipe!
1 point from the 2 worst teams in the country, managed 1 shot in the wigan game and that was a fluke and almost made derby do the double against us
so if think tht is any progress from last year, then u don't know a thing about football
Give me reasons why Allardyce should remain in the job, please? I have tried so hard to be patient, he's been in the job now half a year and there has been no improvement. We are on the same amount of points as we were last season and this was with Roeder and a defence consisting of Ramage, Tatlor, Huntington, Edgar. We are playing the quality of football we played under Souness.
We have good players yet he is trying to inbed what he did at Bolton. The 4-3-3 system has not worked yet, so why persist? I think the way the away fans at Wigan turned on him speaks volumes for what the majority of supporters now think. If we were playing reasonably good football and getting these results then I wouldn't want him out but the quality is simply awful. He had 24 coaching staff for Pete's sack!
So again, why should we keep him?
if by meaning hmmmmm i wonder who made that comment it wasnt me ...
i too am beinging to lose patience with allerdyce however ... we sack another manager and we are back as we were ... what is it going to achieve sacking him?? we will end up with another manager with the same squad of players most of which dont seem to give a toss ...
as with reguards to ur comments about joey barton .....
do u know his family?
how can u call them thugs? i am assuming u r reffering to his half brother who he does have contact with and hasnt since he was a kid? mb get the facts before u start calling a persons family?
all that said on the pitch he is a good player and maybe if people got behind him then he would show the form he did form man city?
rather then judging him on his life off the field!
fans like you should be banned from SJP why pay all that money to piss and moan like a bitch?
i hope u dont ban this comment like a few of my others as i am entitled to my opinon like you are yours!
Haha banned from st james park u will find only the away fans left as all the crowd feel the same way!
u must be talking about the players who he actually signed and said was the best squad he ever had!
The Squad which he:
signed 9 players and a defence which is worse than last season
critcises in open public
constantly playing out of position
doesn't give any instructions or gameplan to
gives them crazy formations in which he admits they can't play to
tells them to go 4 a 0-0 away to wigan, who we're the 2nd worst team in the league
this must be the joey barton as described on SSN who:
twatted a person while laying 1/2 dead on the floor along with his brother
so his family has 3 sons all of which are in prison at the moment
his football career is finished nw and i hope they throw away the key
if he ever comes back to newcastle the fans will kick the shit out of him and deservedly so
footballing ability: he only kicks the shit out of ppl, he can't pass or shoot
the man city form, the same man city fans who said he was shit and are totally laughing in our faces at this time on national radio stations
but you can't keep appointing bad managers, bad managers will be bad managers and they don't turn into good managers overnight, his only success from bolton was the long ball game which was hated by all football fans, he has no plan b and his mentality is on percentage points
he has had massive luck in his 19 games and it has run out, and he will be sacked b4 or after the man city game
Neesy you said big sam was a good appointment in the summer, and that barton was a good buy, dont deny it either you do this all the time. You didnt say they were bad decisions at the time. And the away fans are the true fans, unlike wazziks like you that do just bitch and moan all the time. If you dont like it, dont fucking go, not as if your helping the cause
beat the shit out of him,. does that not make us as bad if not worse than him
I agree we don't keep sacking managers, we just keep apointing bad ones. I'm still waiting for that anonymous reader to get back to me and give me actual reasons (like I have) why Big Sam deserves more time. All they seem to do is use the word 'fickle' but never actually back their comments up with valid points. 80+% said Big Sam should be sacked in today's Chronicle. 60% said the same in The Guardian (a well respected newspaper). Yes, I know it dosen't look good if we sack another manager but things are not working with this man, I reiterate my point from yesterday - 'we played more attractive football under Roeder'.
As for this Barton dilemma. Shep, I agree with you, he is a good player, I would love him to succeed at this club but you cannot defend those off-field actions. These are the actions that remind me of the thugs we see in town on a Friday/Saturday night and I have nothing but utter contempt for those kind of people. How am I then meant to get behind him on the field when we makes me feel like that? And for the comments he made about the fans being vicious after he had merley kicked a ball for this club is a mockery itself.
Banning people from the ground? Calm down, dearest!
'And the away fans are the true fans'
I spent almost £600 on this seasons ticket and have had a season ticket for the past eleven year. Am I not a true fan? The away fans at Wigan turned on Sam...
We shouldn't beat the shit out of Barton though. Take some deep breaths, Neesy.
Reality check, quote from bbc:
But Hull boss Brown, who worked under Allardyce at Bolton, told BBC Radio Five Live: "The sooner all parties - including supporters, including the media - take a reality check (the better).
"Newcastle have only won one trophy in the last 50 years.
"All of a sudden, a new man comes to the helm and everyone expects immediate success. It's ridiculous to expect it.
"Unless you get a £100million purse, as in Jose Mourinho at Chelsea, or a lot of money such as Sven-Goran Eriksson at Man City, I think it's ridiculous to expect immediate success."
We need to go through a spell like everton, pompey etc have gone through before we will succeed, the club is in a mess. And there is no quick fix, no one could turn our fortunes around immediately. It is going to take time and until we accept this we will achieve nothing because we are not good enough, simple as that.
Its not as if were a top 4 6 or even 8 club underachieving, were a mid table team and thats the reality and the situation big sam has to try and turn around. Yes the results have been shit but were sitting in mid table, thats what happens to mid table teams, you win and lose at roughly the same ratio, exactly 50:50 right now. Your forgetting about are best start in years we had, what happens if we hit that type of form again. He got bolton into a better position than us with no money, give him the same time the bolton fans did and extra funds and you mite be singing his praises and writing about great games in 1-3 years when we eventually do get it right. Its about time we give him the time and ride through these bad times in the hope that he can turn it around. If we dont, we start all over again, then again when we loose another few games, its just a vicous circle with no positive outcome which started when robson left us.
Martin
I agree, Martin but I've never asked for immediate success, all I want is entertainment. I have never actually come out and said 'I want him out', I've simply said 'I fear for his job' and 'I
am becoming increasingly impatient'.
In all the home games I've attended this season, including the wins against Everton, Spurs and West Ham, the football we've played has been average at best and with the players at our disposal you expect a bit more quality.
Eriksonn and O'Neill are fine examples. The latter, even when they finished mid-table last season, still played some very good football. I'll start getting behind Big Sam more when I see the team playing good football. Even though last season was awful under Roeder, the team actually attacked and we seen some excellent peformances - Man Utd, Spurs and Pompey all at home.
With the players he has at his disposal and the fixtures we've had up until now, theres is no reason we should we shouldn't be challenging in the top 7. Persistingly playing negative formations and the 4-3-3, even though admittedly he said ' we don't have the playets to play that system' is what gets me the most. This is why I believe there will be a fall in season tickets sales if things don't improve.
Yes, the players have to take responsibilty aswell, but there is something going wrong somehere, something beyond the playing side and it must be addressed.
In other news I couldn't agree more
with Sir Bobby's comments over the weekend. Mike Ashley does need to put on a suit and start making some strategic decisions, because the sight of him sitting with our lot in the away end with that Alan Smith shirt on, is quite frankly, now looking a little tiresome.
Yeah craig but we will play entertaining football once he brings some stability to the team and his own players. The greatest manager in premier league history sir alex said we need to take a reality check, he said we must give him time. Sir alex almost got the sack at the start of his reign and look what he has achieved, and big sam has proven he can turn things around for a team. We will win nothing unless we can keep a manager for at least 3 years, bringing in another will just increase our problems no matter who it is, and we will just start again. And which manager would be prepared to risk their reputation on us, 5 deafeats and their neck is on the line.
Yes, Ferguson almost got the sack but his regime showed potential and promise. I have seen nothing so far that gives me hope with Big Sam in charge. No potential, no promise, no improvement, nothing.
I just think 'stability' is too much of a buzz word in football nowadays, Martin. Things are not working and I can't see them changing. Any supporter looking back at our fixtures knows fine well we should be in a better position that we currently are. It does not take time to get results against the likes of Derby, Sunderland, Reading etc.
Any manager who looses five games on the trot in the Premiership is under pressure...this is football, its a creul game, buddy.
Two wins in twelve games speaks for itself. I just think its too late now but hope I'm proven wrong.
