Owen I was the guy in blue you had to stop filming for sorry if I disturbed you but I'm a huge fan and I was going to say hello but I was working on the festival and scared to

He's a guy who would never be institutionally accepted as an intellectual or academic, but he does his best to express the depth of his awareness. He represents everyone who didn't have a privileged schooling or upbringing, but you can always better yourself if you try; just lay off the soap operas and football - which in itself, is the longest running soap opera in history.

I actually like Joey Barton, he's a flawed guy but he's not afraid to show that. He's genuine, which is why so many people hate him.

And the Guinness World Record for Most Head-Nods In Ten Minutes When Someone Else Is Speaking goes to Owen Jones for about 7 million.

Barton is a smart guy but his background and the culture he's grown up in have forged a tough character. His temper, the macho front of a professional footballer, his tough upbringing, not to excuse his violence but there is a context for why he is who he is and the last few years he's been doing a lot of growing up in public. Discovering The Smiths and philosophy seems like a very sixth form thing to do only Barton is doing it in his 30s and it seems like almost all he gets for trying to better himself and become more interested in the wider world is classist snobbery. Yeah he still makes a lot of mistakes and he has done some very bad things in the past but he has also transformed himself into a far more mature character.

Oi, this is youtube, logical and sensible comments aren't the done thing y'know! I'm not a follower of football, the odd minutes of MOTD, looking out for my home town teams results (Hull City for my sins) but JB always seems to come across as a guy to say things how they are. I get the impression he would find it hard to not say what he thought/thinks, rightly or wrongly as opposed to what people want to hear him say. He's certainly no angel but then as you say background/upbringing impinges a lot on your psyche and for a long time. Trying to stop yourself from doing the wrong things and making yourself a better human being is all you can ask of someone.

can't understand how you might draw that conclusion, Barton is a horrible piece of work

My opinion of Joey Barton hasn't changed. Like you said at the top of the video, you can't accuse him of being dull. There is not a footballer like Joey Barton, or indeed anyone in our society with his unique perspective. I'm not sure whether it's possible to forgive him for some of his misdeeds, or come around to liking him, but I will listen to him. I don't expect to agree with him, but I do value his input, because he comes from a background vastly different to my own, and lives a life vastly different to my own. If Game of Thrones has taught us anything, it's that characters are neither black nor white, everyone is a shade of grey. People shouldn't simply dismiss Joey because of the multiple mistakes in his life if he is saying something worth hearing now.

Why are we so surprised that a footballer is intellectual ? Is because we associate football with the working classes? And therefore assume working people are not as intricate as every other person on the planet? Joey Barton is a man Who is obviously thoughtful and intellectual yet because of his profession is told to shut up and be generic.

I had never heard of Joey Barton, but he seems a like a nice chap. If we all took the obvious view that we are all human beings, the world would be a better place.

A video about homophobia in football, it's an important issue, Owen also needs to do a video about homophobia amongst Muslims and recent immigrants/refugees on balance I think.

I have to pinch myself sometimes - sure things can be worse, but I went to a school that was in the bottom 0.3% of the league tables, but still managed to get 5 A's... while later my school became an academy and burnt down to the ground... I went to a college that had it's funding cut by 90%... and later that was knocked down the ground... the went to university on a 4 year engineering masters degree (modelled on europena degrees), but that was support by Rover which went bust and students could no longer afford to do 4 year degrees because of tution fees, so my degree was actually cancelled after my firsr year! I mean for fucks sake. I wouldn't have even gone to university if I could've gotten an apprentiship but companies were busy making people redundant instead.

Joey Barton is surprisingly erudite for a professional footballer and one with such a violent background. I used to work with a chap who used to read out tweets and in amongst reading out Obama and Stephen Fry he would slip in a Joey Barton quote and not much different to be honest. I would leave the office and think he is putting his past behaviour behind him and then the next week he would be fighting on the training ground. He is an enigma. Statistically there are gay footballers so he is right on that one.

he is the most articulate n intelligent footballer out there

Anybody else think that in this video, Joey Barton looks like Sean Penn?

I was hoping you would ask him about his views on Palestine.

Great interview but have heard no opinions UTV

No matter which part of the video you skip to owen is nodding his head 😂

Wow he’s nothing like how I would have imagined seeing him play

I like Joey Barton. He's got bad things about him, sure. But overall I respect him. Love his play style on the pitch, brutal yet can be so elegant. Love his political views, mostly. He's done and said some stupid things.

always considered Barton a loutish thug of a player but I don't think that now, interesting chap enjoyed the interview.

There are gay players. Joey might not know but other players have come out and said they know unnamed players who are gay. It's great to hear that they are there, but awful that they can't come out. I can't wait for the first player to make a stand. They will be hit with a lot of abuse but even more love. This is what we need to become aware. Nothing will change by just having Rainbow campaigns. They're great and all. But what will make stuff change is having players come out. I couldn't put myself in that situation, but I hope gay players do it soon. There have been openly gay players at lower levels or abroad. Obviously players have played in the Premier League and left and THEN have come out. Here's an example: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/25628806

Does Owen ever stopped noddin his head when Joeys talking?

Can you do an interview (or at least try) with Nick Clegg? He's just brought out his book (so would accept every interview he gets) and would be fascinating to hear his views, especially about the forcing a commons vote on the EU and the result in the Witney by-election!!

This one was a bit serious, I reckon Joey Barton didn't realise Owen is a comedy actor, not many laughs, Joey bossed the interview so Owen couldn't get his comedy lines in. I don't think Owen thought he was intelligent, complacency can be a bad thing. I'm still a fan though and have written to the BBC recommending they commission a comedy series for Owen.

The title of this video exactly conveys how seriously Owen Jones should be taken.

Joey Barton is a football player. That's part of his life but it doesn't define him. He has concerns elsewhere. I find his views agreeable.
