JOEY BARTON MADE his first league start for Marseille last night after finally serving out the remainder of a 12-match ban for his little hissy-fit against Manchester City at the end of last season.
Joey still looks the same but when he spoke to the media after the 1-0 win against Lille, his accent sounded a little, emm, different.
A little more French, to be precise.
It can happen to the best of us though — just ask “Schteve” McClaren.
