Joey Barton used some vitriolic words in reaction to the Sidemen Charity Match. It elicited strong responses from AngryGinge and Chunkz.
Former footballer Joey Barton did not have nice things to say about the Sidemen Charity Match 2025. For context, the event was hosted in a fully packed Wembley Stadium on March 8, 2025. Barton, however, criticized the stadium’s decision to let the charity event be hosted there as it was only a few days before the EFL League Cup Final (March 16, 2025). Additionally, the contentious personality used the ‘R-word’ to describe some of the players. He wrote the following:
“How is Wembley rented out a week before a League Cup Final for the R*tard Bowl? F**king embarrassing. Those clowns shouldn’t be anywhere near the hallowed turf. Especially, the big fat f**ker in a bandana (referring to JJ “KSI”). Game has gone…R*tardo’s Everywhere you look. Some of the very worse football I’ve ever seen. El Sp*stico.”
This naturally elicited some strong responses from those involved. Twitch streamer Morgan “AngryGinge,” who participated in the event, fired back at Joey Barton on his stream. The streamer revealed that when Barton last met him (during a Misfits event), the ex-footballer’s son had requested to take a photo:
“”He was calling us every name under the sun. At the end of the day, Joey Barton was slagging us all off, but when I went to Misfits, his son asked me for a photo. I don’t think he understands social media. He can sit there, behind a f**king camera, f**king begging it with his greasy little f**king head, right? The guy’s son was begging for a photo, and yet he wants to call us r*tards.”

Chunkz Labels Joey Barton A “Grumpy F**k” Following His Criticism Of the Sidemen Charity Match 2025
AngryGinge wasn’t the only creator who called out Joey Barton for his take. Fellow UK YouTuber and Beta Squad member Chunkz, who also played and scored in the charity match event, responded to Barton’s criticism:
“How much money have you raised for charity you grumpy f**k. Have a day off.”
It’s worth noting that Joey Barton is known for his controversial takes. The former player has often been accused of making misogynistic remarks, having previously criticized women’s football. He has found himself in hot water multiple times.
The Sidemen Charity Match was a massive success, both in terms of entertainment and charitable goals. The livestream raised an impressive £4.7 million, surpassing the 2023 total by over £2 million.
