Premiership?
His tactics are often more akin to the code so it's a yes from me.

I'd obviously forgotten the Wolves one, and I didn't go to Reading.
Can you not come up with a better contribution to the thread or to NSC than this? You think it is making you look clever but really its doing quite the opposite.
There is no earthly reason why this basic mistake is made time and time again.
It's not to make me look clever - just pisses me off when people can't get this right.
Is that OK with you?
Get a life then. Do you have any idea how utterly irrelevant the correct name of the nations top football league is, when both are widely used colloquially?

I liked AB,he scored goals,had an edge and gave his all. I don't know why we allowed the situation for him to leave,but he is doing well,as all fans of him knew would be the case !

I thought he flattered to deceive.. pinged the odd goal in... but rarely created any chances with turns or trickery..... living off Vokes and Ings reputation and was a discipline liability.... glad he went.

'The odd goal in' jesus - 1 goal in every 3.3 appearances for us is a decent return for someone played out wide most of his career with us.

Ashley Barnes was a major asset to Brighton criminal that he went....

This. Huge asset to the club. AB only started getting stick when we moved to the Amex, probably from Customers whose only prior exposure to football had been MOTD.

I was quite disappointed when he left especially as he'd started to find a bit of form, also replacing him with Rodriquez and Obika cost us a higher finish than 6th, had we got Grabban I think we could've finished a bit higher.

Indeed. The thread he started was 'Barnes isn't even League One standard', so definitely started whilst we were still at Withdean. I loved it when Ashley reached his 20 goal target.
Good footballer. Brilliant COMPETITOR.
Would gladly see him in any Albion squad, in any division.
Astonished that his time in the Premier League has not got him playing regular international football, with Austria. Perhaps he doesn't want to.

Unlikely admittedly, but is it possible that the Austrian FA aren't aware of his Austrian ancestry?
*EDIT: Scrub that. I'm a moron. AB has an Austrian U20 cap. Doh!
You would think that this season of all seasons, would be an opportunity for people to rethink attitudes.
1 How many of the following worldbeaters that we absolutely had to sign to stand a chance of promotion, have had a positive impact on their respective sides? McCormack, Vydra, Rhodes ?
2 Who would have rated our chances last summer if they knew we would play most of the season without Kayal and Goldson?
3 Who thought spending 4 million quid on a Blackburn centre back would make such a difference to our prosepcts?
Ashley Barnes sits behind Murray, Ulloa, Hemed and on this season's form Baldock, in terms of his impact at the club. Obviously Sir Bobby is excluded from comparisons with mere mortals.
If that makes him average, what does it say about any of the following, who we have thrown money at or borrowed?
Manu, Bent, Collunga, CMS, Obika
OK two lists of 5 with Barnes in the middle, maybe isn't the best way to demonstrate my point
but we bought and sold him for a fraction of the fees thrown around at other players and it was shortsighted by the club to let him go and ignorance on behalf of our supporters who got on his back.

Did anyone notice one of the Sky commentators refer to Sam as "Ashley Baldock"? He kind of mumbled it, but I'm sure he did.
