Article about him in latest 442 mag - he says nice things about our club. Didn’t realise he is one of just half a dozen players to have scored against all of the big 6.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Ashley Barnes isn't nearly good enough for us.
- Thread starter Mr Burns
- Start date
Barnes still on 4. One every 178 minutes played. Neal Maupay on 4. One every 174 minutes played. Just saying.
Wood on 4 also. Rashford, Salah close by on 5, Kane on 6. Top is Vardy on 9.

He is still quite fond of us. There was an interview on the club site, where he says his eldest son is a Brighton fan.
I don't know how many sons he has but this one says his son is a huge Man City fan......

That one is only 7. His eldest son was born when we were still at Withdean.

Goalkeeper trying to fight with Barnes at a corner puts the ball in his own net for Burnley’s third too

I hope he turned to Ashley and said "Ha! I just successfully stopped you from scoring!"

Good to hear that he got a new contract this week, a top pro, fully deserved.

Just overtaken Glenn Murray in the premier league goal scoring charts, 37 to 36. Will Glenn get the chance to get his lead back?

What’s the goals per game average?

Funny you should ask, I worked this out just yesterday, with Bobby thrown in for good measure:
Bobby Zamora 47 premier league goals in 252 games, 31 championship goals in 112 games
Ashley Barnes 37 premier league goals in 147 games, 29 championship goals in 150 games
Glenn Murray 36 premier league goals in 132 games, 67 championship goals in 142 games
Basically, in terms of goals per game in the premier league or premier+championship combined, its Murray > Barnes > Zamora
who'd have thunk it

So Murray a goal every 2.6 games
Barnes a goal ever 4.5
Zamora a goal every 4.6
The Zamora bit is surprising, but then he had a rough time at Tottenham, combined with some injuries with West Ham and played for a shit QPR side.
Murray has obviously had injury troubles over the years, notably that season at Palace.
Barnes by and large has been injury free, but has missed a few games due to stupid red cards...

But then Barnes played 99 games mainly on the wing for us in the championship, at least the other two were always strikers. He also played 20 games for Plymouth in the championship, never realised that

Ok, going for the let’s re write history tac - Pretending Barnes never played on the wing so much - Barnes average at Burnley is 4.48 goals per game, so no different to playing all those games on the wing for The Albion then!

oh, thats interesting. Yeah, he didn't score many for them in the champ, its the last couple of years he's really come on. Maybe they played him on the wing too, I dunno?
