It was funny seeing Barton looking for the foul after he got tripped. Everything in the world was temporarily righted after Nasri’s trip…until he got a yellow for it 5 minutes later.

Barton is a thug, he was being a thug with his tackle and mocking smile. Nasri did the right thing imo.

how can you get angry with Barton? tackling is part of futbol and hard tackling is certainly part of the EPL. The tackle was hard but not that bad.

p.s. Barton’s smile after was badass

Thug football at its finest. Two wrongs don’t make a right but I definitely back up what Nasri did. Nasri is not that kind of player but he had to send a message.

Barton is a violent offender who doesn’t deserve to play professional Football and takes away from the game.

nasri was provoked by barton. watch where nasri was tackled, not only was it dangerous but barton made mockery out of it (as the commentator said a sarcastic smile). he had “”so what if i tackled you” on his face.

other more professional or disciplined players would try to apologize and shake hands but this guy acted total jerk.

I haven’t really been against Barton, but he seems like a jackass with that face he made after the tackle.
