'Let's not get too carried away'

Burnley midfielder Joey Barton has been involved in several controversial incidents during his career and is wary of making too much of Costa's actions.

"It's difficult to get too self-righteous when you're in my position, but what we have to remember is nobody has died," he told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek's programme.

"It's a game of football. You have had two grown men basically square up, no punches have been thrown, nothing serious has happened, both have gone home to their families, one team has lost, one team has won.

"We have to be careful not to get too carried away. We have to remember what makes football football.

"It's that kind of thing, it's goals, it's playing on the edge, it's high intensity, it's high passion. That's why we do what we do, that's why we love watching football."

Talking about spies, I never got round to watching spooks but am currently watching it on netflix, Ros had her comeuppance last night which, i was quite happy about, she killed Jo a few episodes ago which i cannot forgive her for, Jo was a babe, to be fair the new girl who joined section D last night is quite nice, Lucas is playing a decent part but Adam Carter has been the best spook.
