| Might be worth watching Inside Sport tonight.Prison holds no fear for Barton |  Barton denies the assault charge |
Newcastle's Joey Barton insists he does not fear going to prison if he is found guilty of assaulting former Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo. The 25-year-old has pleaded not guilty to a charge of actual bodily harm and now faces a trial, which is expected to start in June 2008. "If you go to prison for defending yourself then, yes, I suppose I'll think about it," he told the BBC. "But I don't care. It doesn't scare me at all. I've done nothing wrong." The alleged assault took place at City's training ground on 1 May. If found guilty, the England midfielder could face a sentence of up to five years in jail but he said: "I can go home and sleep at night and know I've done what I thought was right.  | Nobody cares whether I'm innocent or guilty - nobody cares |
"I don't think I'm a bad person. If the incidents I've been involved in had been to anyone other than a Premier League footballer, I don't think they'd even be mentioned. "It was something that I've seen five, six, seven times since I've been a professional footballer." Barton says his reputation has left him short of support among fans. "Nobody cares whether I'm innocent or guilty - nobody cares. I'm already guilty before I've been sat in front of a judge - that's the disappointing thing," he said. | 606: DEBATE |
"It's my reputation. It's my fault I've got that reputation, but you shouldn't be slaughtered for trying to make yourself a better person. One day I will get to speak about the full facts." Barton was suspended by City and subsequently sold to Newcastle United in a £5.8m deal in June. He returned to action for the Magpies in November following a metatarsal injury that had kept him out since the summer. Listen to Five Live Sport tonight from 1900 GMT. See Barton on Inside Sport from 1120 GMT. |

| | Joey was defending himself so he says, if one were to defend themselves does that not mean the other person throws the first punch. Now forgive me if im wrong i don't remember ever seeing Joey with a black eye or then again a scratch on him, unless Dabos just a crap fighter and Joey has lightning reflexes. |

| Joey knew Dabo was going to throw the punch before he actually threw it, thereby defending himself in advance. Its a common defence.
