A slightly pickled Barnes wants Brighton to go up

[Husty]

Goal of the season for Burnley, runner up in Brighton's goal of the season, both in the Championship.
Not bad for a player who's not even League One standard, eh Mr Burns? Whatever happened to Mr Burns?

I'll happily stick by my previous comments about Barnes, far too lightweight, went down extremely easily and had a petulant temperament. Well done to him for working hard on staying on his feet and holding up the ball and he is a good striker in the Championship now, I was sad to see him go but it doesn't change the fact that those criticisms of him were valid when they were made.

He was with us for one full season in League One and scored the magic 20 goals in that season.

A nice smile appears on his face when asked about Brighton. I'm no body language expert but to me it shows he cares and isn't bullshitting when answering the question.

Barnes' is a good 'un.

 

[Mackenzie]

If we don't make it, I'd love to see him back here if he's deemed not up to the PL by Burnley. A wholehearted player.

Number NINE...

Concur. Gives his all and scores some cracking goals (and misses some absolute sitters)

I was (and still am) gutted to see Barsney go. He seems like a genuinely nice lad.

Obviously fairly pickled with the off camera antics seemingly indicating it more than when he got infornt of the camera and looked like a rabbit in the headlights. Top man, good player that gave his all and always helps towards three points in the cup, good lad

He'd have been a better back-up for Ulloa than Obika but 9 goals in 45 appearances for two top 6 clubs isn't a great return for a striker.

3.40 onwards, good little dig from Burnley at our corporate ceremony.

Mentioned about fans and players mingling with selfies being taken - pretty sure that also happened at our awards night - just a bit more jazzy.

They have a point!

Barnes never has been the sharpest tool in the box I get the impression Nice comments though.

I remember people saying that about David Beckham for the way he talked and no one could accuse him off being stupid now !!!!

 

[grubbyhands]

Curious accent he seems to have developed. Maybe the wine talking

Ha,ha. Jeremy Clarkson might have suggested he sounds a bit like a "teacher" if you know what I'm saying.

Good on him , but he's not very bright
