Barton has been “shocked” by the behaviour of Magpies supporters – especially their treatment of manager Sam Allardyce.

“I have not yet seen the famous crowd I was expecting to hear get behind us,” said Barton.

“Unless there’s a massive change, it’s going to be the same for this manager, the next manager and whoever comes in after that,” he predicted.

“Sam’s a good manager. He’s getting the brunt of the criticism but doesn’t deserve it. Not many managers can turn a club round in five minutes.”

Barton to face Dabo

Newcastle United midfielder Joey Barton will tonight come face-to-face with Manchester City rival Ousmane Dabo.

In a remarkable twist the pair will go head-to-head – in a reserve game – for the first time since their alleged training ground brawl last May that ended Barton’s City career and left Dabo in hospital – and pressing assault charges, says the Mirror.

Frenchman Dabo was bitter about the bust-up with Barton and has decided to pull no punches in response, with a court case due in the next few weeks.

It is unusual for such adversaries to meet in the run-up to a legal showdown and all eyes will be watching them on the field – but the pair are determined to play.

Barton wants to be fit in a hurry while Dabo is keen to show he is ready for selection or, more likely, a sale in the next transfer window.

Sam Allardyce said: “Joey Barton has got no chance for Everton on Sunday. It will be four or five weeks, or at least three or four reserve games.”
