QPR midfielder Barton hits out at 'clueless journalism'

A report that named five players as the "bad eggs" Joey Barton made reference to at QPR has earned a strong rebuttal from the midfielder.

Joey Barton has hit out at "clueless journalism" referencing five players said to be the subject of his "bad eggs" claim at QPR.

Midfielder Barton last week claimed that not every player within the QPR dressing room was giving their all in the fight for Premier League survival, with manager Chris Ramsey later suggesting that he agreed with Barton's assertion. 

QPR was subsequently relegated to the Championship following a 6-0 defeat at Manchester City on Sunday - a performance labelled as "embarrassing" by Barton.
