Joey Barton signs for Burnley – Fans will do well to forget these hilarious tweets

With his move to West Ham collapsing due to some rather hefty fan intervention, Joey Barton has made the move to Burnley – a set of fans not necessarily ready to accept the much maligned midfielder with the open arms he may hope.

Whilst it’s undeniable Sean Dyche has picked up a seemingly reformed and experienced Premier League midfield battler, the former Newcastle and Man City man has quite the history with the clubs supporters.

Beginning with a Coke bottle hitting the back of his head, thrown by a Burnley supporter during a Championship fixture back in 2013, Barton has continuously taken to Twitter in an effort to ingratiate himself with the locals.
