Really pleases me to see some of you now changing your minds about COGba. I couldn't understand the posts knocking him earlier in the season, when he'd really not been given a fair run for you. He still hasn't, really. He scored a goal every other game for us in 18 months and he was a joy to...

Sherwood then. Hughton would bore you into submission.

What an uninspiring list.

To be fair, they were two of our better players from a really awful bunch. You could be Blackpool, who've signed about 5 of our truly awful players from last season. They're doing well too...

Bizarre appointment. Who you thinking in terms of replacing him?

Got to say, as a neutral, this is bad, bad viewing. What the hell has happened to Brighton?? Get Paddy on.

At fan forums, and to me personally, our CEO reckons we got "over" a million pounds from you for COG, and he was on £8,000 P/W with us, and due to hitting 15 goals it triggered an increase to £10,000 P/W for this season had he stayed. We were obviously gagging for him to leave, considering a...

Our manager has told the media today that if COG is available that we'd take him back on loan, no problem. But that he expects plenty of competition if it's true that Hyypia doesn't want him. Personally - and I rated him massively - he'd be welcome back, but he'd have to sit on the bench until...

Cheers lads. Think you're unlikely to see COG much if he's expected to be a target man. I'm not saying he isn't 'a target' but he's much more than that. Or, he was for us. Funny thing is (and yes I know we're a level down now) we've now recruited four strikers all of differing qualities with the...

How they getting on?

Here's a video I made. It was done after a handful of games. Had I waited, it'd have included the goal against you and one or two other bits. Shame, but here it is anyway. And remember what I said before, he's world class on occasion, but Sunday League on others. As an impact player, he's a...

Paddy is an absolute genius. On his day. I've been watching Barnsley for 26 years and other than Craig Hignett I can't recall a player so breathtaking to watch, with the added extra of wondering just how he did/does it. But as amazing as he is to watch when he's on his day, attacking etc...

Fair assessment of COG's time at S6 that. But you know I was referring to the majority of Owls when I said they thought he was awful. And it was, mate. It was the majority. They were falling over themselves to tell me how bad he was. Agreed on the adulation bit though. Few players who leave us...

I can't go quoting/replying to everyone who took the time to respond to my thread as it'd look a bit silly. So I'll thank you all for any kind words. But as Dan Aitch put it, I merely wanted you (the doubters especially) to have a look at the goals he scored for us in the hope that you'd perhaps...

Small world, pal. I was born in Athersley, which is the next village, however, Carlton was my home in Barnsley from 2004 until 2012. I now live with my wonderful girlfriend in Bradford as I couldn't take her away from her family. I'm from Barnsley, I can handle not seeing mine. :cool: Thanks for...

Chris joined us from our near neighbours, Sheffield Wednesday. He scored near enough a goal every other game. He created (directly) plenty. Indirectly, he assisted many more. He led from the front. He can hold the ball up as good as anyone. He's strong, powerful and has the knack of...

Sean Taylor ‏@seantaylorpress 30m RE Chris O'Grady He has already agreed terms with Brighton. Will sign 3-year deal Fri, subject to medical. Fee IRO £500K #barnsleyfc #bhafc As I said, I'll be back to give you the lowdown on Big Chris and hopefully cobble a video together when it's...

You lads mocking him, or feeling underwhelmed about his potential arrival, will be quickly won over by COGba. Yes, COGba. I won't bother giving you a proper detailed opinion on him, his strengths/weaknesses etc, because I'm not convinced he'll agree terms. Not because I think he'll stay with...

Our main forum? This one - http://v2.barnsleyfc.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?130-Bulletin-Board I could have swore it was pretty much the same setup as NSC. Anyway, you can add me onto your list of BFC fans not making the trip. And I wouldn't be coming if we were top of the league, either. It's...

Last year it was Greer, now it's El-Abd. We like our Brighton centre halves, seemingly. So, is he any good? What type of centre half is he? We're in need of a hard man, commanding brute type, to compliment our footballing centre halves.
