Joey Barton signs for Burnley after sending these hilarious tweets slagging off the town…

Awkward. So, so awkward...

JOE

Joey Barton has finally found a new home with Championship side Burnley FC.

The former QPR man has signed a one-year deal with the Clarets who are looking to bounce back to the Premier League after suffering relegation last season.

Barton seems to be quite chuffed to be joining up with Sean Dyche’s side…

It sounds like the former Man City midfielder can’t wait to get to Burnley, which is funny because barely a year ago it seemed like he wasn’t the biggest fan of the mill town.

That’s a bit of an understatement to be honest, judging by these rather colourful tweets after a Burnley fan lobbed a Coke bottle at his head at Turf Moor…

What a difference a year makes, eh!
