Gentleman Joey
It just so happens that some friends of mine were on the same flight home from Dubai with a certain Mr Barton at the weekend.
Although they're Liverpool fans, even they commented on what a gentleman he was and how he was great with theirs and other folks young kids during the flight.
I just thought I'd mention it, as this side of Joey is rarely reported by the press who only seem to want to report negative news in relation to him.
Let's hope the break in the sun has done Joey and the rest of the players good and they're up for the scrap against Wigan on Saturday.
I'm looking forward to seeing Mpenza after all the glowing reports from Pearce; surely he has to start.

Mendes may have a different view ;-)
Has Mpenza got his work permit clearance yet ???
alphieblues.....
he's from belgium and an eu national
I did read that he was awaiting clearance I have not seen his name added to the City squad and he has not been added to the list of free agent transfers since the window closed.
p.s.
This is a quote from the City website on 16-02-07
City sign Mpenza subject to clearance 16/02/2007 18:25
Manchester City can confirm that 28-year-old Belgian striker, Emile Mpenza, has joined the Club until the end of the season, subject to international clearance.
The Belgian international, with 47 caps and 17 goals to his name, had a successful trial with City, but is unable to feature against Preston North End on Sunday while awaiting the green light.
Perhaps there is a subtle difference between "international clearance" and requiring a work permit. It could be that because he came from a Middle-East club and not from a club within the EU may have complicated things. Anyway, I still hope he plays !
anon?what about mendes you muppet.
