Joey Barton: Manchester City are in for a reality check

By Matt Barrett 09/05/2012

QPR captain Joey Barton says his former club Manchester City are in for a “reality check” if they think the title is as good as won.

City are overwhelming favourites to clinch the Premier League crown by beating Rangers, who need a point to guarantee their top-flight survival.

The Daily Mirror quote Barton as saying: “I can’t wait for the game – I can’t wait to go to Man City.

“They expect us to turn up and them to probably stuff us and go on and win the league .

“If that is their attitude, they will get a reality check. It’s 11 men against 11 men. There is a lot of pressure out there – I can’t wait for it.

“We have one game to go and we are masters of our own destiny.”
