Joey Barton pips Luis Suarez as ‘footballer British men would most like to punch’

This may come as a bit of a shock, but Joey Barton has been voted the ‘most punchable’ footballer in England – despite having spent the past 12 months out of the country.
The controversial QPR midfielder, who spent last season on loan at French side Marseille, is rarely backwards in coming forwards with his opinions, which he voices vigorously on Twitter.
But it seems his opinionated nature off the pitch, coupled with his aggressive style of play on it, has made him less popular than even the likes of John Terry, Wayne Rooney and Luis Suarez, according to readers of AskMen.
The ‘Great Male Survey’ was carried out by the men’s online magazine and more than 70,000 people responded to the question: ‘Which of the following would you be most inclined to punch in the face if there were no consequences?’
The results were as follows:
1. Joey Barton – 32%
2. John Terry – 29%
3. Wayne Rooney – 22%
4. Luis Suarez – 17%
Barton may have been the clear winner, but perhaps the most surprising aspect was Suarez receiving just 17% of the vote. Maybe the outcome would have been slightly different if readers had been offered the chance to bite a player of their choice instead.

I love how the writer is butt hurt about Suarez not finishing in the top 3.
