Barton is 16/1 to be named Newcastle’s player of the year
Will Shearer’s good friend be the Toon Army’s hero next season?
With very little football taking place right now, chickendinner have been sniffing around the bookmakers looking for interesting specials to bet on.
Paddy Power have opened a market on who will win Newcastle’s player of the year award next season with Joey Barton a distant 16/1 outsider, an even longer price than 14/1 Xisco.
The three joint-favourites at 8/1 are Obafemi Martins, Kevin Nolan and Steven Taylor - the latter two mainly because they look likely to stay - with Ryan Taylor and Nicky Butt both 9/1 for similar reasons. Sadly there are no joke options, unless you consider Mark Viduka being only 10/1 funny.
Elsewhere, Andrey Arshavin is 11/4 to win the Arsenal award, Marouane Fellaini 9/4 to win Everton’s and Steven Gerrard 11/4 to win Liverpool’s.
