As an addendum to my recently published transcription of Joey Barton’s interview for QPR ‘blog “Open All R’s,” and also Derek Llambias’ response to it, I’m posting the video of the part where he lifts the lid on what was happening behind the scenes at Newcastle United during his spell there.

Well, Joey Barton did promise on Twitter that he would “tell all when the time was right” and he’s finally kept his word.
