Joey Barton has been strongly criticised by Paris St Germain after he used Twitter to make dubious remarks about the French team's player Thiago Silva.
Marseille later released a statement on their website saying they were sorry about Barton's remarks. It read: "Olympique de Marseille and Joey Barton are keen to apologise to Thiago Silva and his club for the inappropriate comments made by the English player on social networks during the past 36 hours. "This morning the management asked Joey Barton to put an end to the attack on PSG's Brazilian defender. "The Marseille midfielder pledged to immediately cease the posting of anything derogatory about Thiago Silva."
