Gus saying goodbye to players.

[John Bumlick]

Is that supposed to be funny?

yes, it was supposed to be funny but i certainly wasn't expecting you to find it so.

 

[Husty]

Our streets are as clear as they ever were

So they might as well be

 

[JBizzle]

I have to say I'm going to find it absolutely hilarious when the new boss comes in and Barnes continues to play.

The anger and confusion that would follow on here will be a joy to watch!!

Lua Lua lives in Hassocks. Stalker.

Did live in Hassocks, his twitter feed now says different. As it happens he is travelling back from Newcastle for pre season as I type this.

 

[The Oldman]

Especially from Seaford

Watch it!!

 

[Caveman]

So 5 pages, has anyone asked the question... How do we know he was saying good bye? Just because he was seen walking out of supposedly Barnes house?

I think it would be rude of anyone to go round someone they know's house and leave without saying goodbye. I think it's a safe bet.

It is, however, gratifying to note to no-one has asked whether Mr Barnes lives in a barn and all the associated slurs that could go with that.

Just came round to ours to say cheerio ---thanking the six of us for our support and drinking the Amex dry on a regular basis















That's not true BTW

Is that supposed to be funny? I'm amazed that the mods allow that word to be used in the context it has. People were born without limbs because of that drug and it caused great suffering to a lot of people. I don't find that funny.

I agree, a totally unacceptable form of insult, only ever fit for 1970's playground and spoken by an 8 year old child

Taking a dig at Husty, how original

Whereas taking a dig at Barnes is the very epitome of innovative thinking

So we conclude that Ashley Barnes has a place in Burgess Hill, and most folk have a mate, or someone who knows a mate, who lives next door. He is visited by three different posties each day, two of whom are known to NSC'ers. He also owns a place in Rottingdean and Ovingdean and Woodingdean, or one place that stands on the boundaries of all three. He shops in Tesco, Rottingdean, Burgess Hill, or both. We all know someone who knows Ashley Barnes who may or may not be a quality player.
He is either at home today, or in the west country, and Gus Poyet could be in Sussex.

Next manager anyone ?

He was renting in Ovingdean, I personally moved him, his wife and all of his possessions into the house he had just bought, in Rottingdean.

I doubt an 8yr old today would know given it was something applied to children born 50 or 60 years ago now. And when I grew up in the 70s I used it as an insult and like most other "insults" you didn't know why, it was just a word you knew you didnt want to be associated with because it was uncool. Wasn't until I was an adult that I knew about the wider context. So don't be too precious my precious, people often say things without some dastardly intent to offend behind it.

What's deroid (another 70s fav) an abbreviation for? I genuinely don't know still. And is anyone a benny tied to a tree?! Wtf was that all about?!!

Genius! In other words he's out with Lord Lucan today?!

No but there are a lot of cow's arses between here and Burgess Hill. It's a safe bet he owns a banjo.

Lol, at the age of about 9, some 40 years ago, whilst playing monopoly with the family, I called my brother a "C*** I had no idea what it meant, but that did not stop my C*** of a father walloping me.

 

[The Legend that IS Lawro]

Whilst everybody can attribute 'what a miss' to one player or another, notwithstanding the obvious one at Smellhurst I feel that Mr Hammond had more than his fair share last year.
Fair player apart from that though.

'Are you a benny tied to a tree ?'
'No'
'Benny on the loose !...'

Something like that.
