Gus saying goodbye to players.

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

Something like that.

Yep, but what did it matter if you we're a benny on the loose as opposed to tied to a tree?!! And why would you be tied to a tree anyway?!! Who came up with this shit in the first place?!

 

[Arnois2]

Definately not

He lives in Burgess Hill as I installed his Sky for him about a year ago.

Blimey - what sort of travel time do you get allowed from Dubai ?

So reading this we are all in agreement Ashley Barnes is going to be the next Dr Who as is living in two places at once.

 

[slartibartfast]

Well this helps to solve the mystery of how Barnes always got into the starting 11.

Or perhaps ...ahem.... he was worth a place, putting in a good hard working shift every time he was picked, and was slated by many for every little error whilst others got away scot free?? In my opinion ..

Had he broken the old one by kicking footballs at it,........... and hitting it?

Barnes was the best player in some of the final games and the only one who was really switched on against Palace, stick him up front and he will play well.

This. I was actually one of Barnes biggest critics, but when he came back from his ban he seemed a different player and he should have started the home game against Palace. I think him and Ulloa could become an effective partnership if played alongside each other.

I thought he was banned for the majority of our "final games" !!!!! To be fair he did "switch on" when he came on - what with 20 minutes to go, his first touch nearly a goal. But, I think your over egging the Barnes end of season effect!! Personally the big end of season effect and most switched on in final run of games was ... Upson

I agree but didn't you worry a little everytime he attempted a tackle or chased a player down the field about the outcome?

 

[piersa]

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.

He did not live in Hassocks. People cannot even speculate accurately about where players live, let alone the managerial merry go round.

Yeh he is still relatively young though and hopefully the ban will have settled him down.

Barnes lives in Fishersgate. End of.

Well I suppose the implication was that a benny on the loose was dangerous and predatory, so one tied to a tree was in essence neutralised.

Am I really having this conversation ? *Shakes head and wakes up*

So the fact his kids go to school with my mates kids in burgess hill and he lives 2 doors away from my mate is just nonsense then. Unbelievable at times this site

 

[The Legend that IS Lawro]

Just found an 'A.Barnes' in the Letchworth phone book.......the plot thickens

 

[Hungry Joe]

Maybe there's a whole load of Decoy Barnsies knocking around, like there were Hitlers towards the end of WWII?
