CMS, Spanish Dave and Kemy will be the go-to guys I think. I love Kemy as he's our one absolute b@tshit crazy fruitloop in our squad. Does stepovers just to control the ball, shins it out of play and then squares up to the nearest defender for no apparent reason. Pure entertainment. However his poor workrate and tendency to ping unnecessary 50yard Hollywood balls into touch will definitely draw some negative attention before May.

CMS invites a better class of moaner. The type who demand a bit more than a dreamy smile, smashing hair, a top class finish twice a season and generally insane chicken-headed gimpery.

Spanish Dave may well get moaned at, but by everyone because he hasn't stepped up to the plate this season.

What we are looking for is someone who by their style of play rather than general production, is going to attract the clueless half glass empty types. Step forward Kemy, the one correct answer to this worthy question.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say JFC.

Some people might start to trot out the mentality he should be in the national U/21 team by now and he's going backwards. Only good enough for Crawley. Get rid of.

Indeed, he'll take the ball past 2 players, but he'll do it in a way that makes him look like it was a complete fluke and he's BOUND to f*ck up the next one.

I can see lots of "Ashley Barnes would have scored that!" comments in the future, whether appropriate or not.

Lopez and Greer get a lot of abuse from people near me. Greer gets abuse for other people's mistakes by virtue of him being the captain (same didn't apply to bridcutt or Calderon when they were captain, though). Lope has had some decent games that have looked worse because others didn't do their part to get on the end of some decent crosses, or because the otherwise decent cross was just met by some very good defending.

Other than that, I think it will depend on the performance of who comes in to replace barnes and how people take to him. Strikers always miss more than they score, but if fans like you, you are given a lot more leeway (Murray at times, Ulloa, CMS in the early days, Zamora, etc) if they have decided they don't like you, every miss is "one my nan could score" (Barnes, CMS in the later days, Murray at times, Vokes,)

Another vote here for Kemy. I would hate to be classed as a moaner but.......

You know that thing he does where he holds his hands out as if to say, just pass the ball to my feet, I am magnificent, play the ball to my feet and I will do the rest ?

Well I find myself muttering Look at me, the pitch is muddy, but my boots are clean, everyone look at my shiny clean boots they are a marvel.

A luxury player with no end product. I have been waiting for him to score a screamer so I could tweet Kemi(cal) Warfare, alas from what I have seen it is more like Kemi(cal) Toilet. Come on big guy make me eat my words.

At least the airheads who sit along from me in WSU might well belt up with their treacherous shite.

Their joys of wisdom include booing him every time he touched the ball during the match, screaming abuse when the opposition scored a goal he had no part in, and calling him a wanker for scoring THAT goal at Bournemouth. There was a recent game where Barnes took a difficult shot - far from being a sitter, which was well-saved, and turned round for a corner. These same four muppets then booed him for not scoring. They were, incidentally, silent when he scored his two goals against Leicester.

I'm struggling to see how they can call themselves Brighton fans with that level of stupidity; actually giving a psychological advantage to the opposition.

Incidentally, the phrase 'I pay my money so I can say what I want' has so little resonance. But if it must be used, then so can everyone's view telling these dickheads to belt up or bugger off. The incomprehinsibility on their faces when they're told that is priceless.

So I would like to nominate the four muppets who sit near me.

Indeed. :lolol:

ps Maybe folk should refer to SD as 'Spanish Mave'?
Yes. There was one particularly outrageous tackle avoidance in front of the West Stand against Bournemouth... "Spanish Maeve" could catch on :)
