Joey Barton of 2014 rears his head to bite modern day Joey Barton firmly on the backside

Burnley fans may want to take a second thought before running out to get Joey Barton's name on the back of their jerseys.

The outspoken midfielder has joined Sean Dyche's side after being released by QPR in the summer but his previous opinions of the Clarets will not have endeared him to the supporters. Back in 2014, while still playing for QPR, Barton tweeted this out. There's been quite the turnaround, though, since he was offered a contract by Burnley this week. It's not the first time that his antics on social media have come back to haunt him which begs the question "why on earth is he allowed a Twitter account?" H/t to @SundayLeagueFC
