Conclusion: Graham Barrett came to us on loan, was not very good, but at least tried his best (unlike a certain Mr Kitson who was probably the most talented player we have had at the club for the last ten years but is undoubtedly a wanker of the highest order).

He said he enjoyed his stay here, but chose to sign for Coventry, no loss to the Albion to be honest. However for this 'crime' some of the singing/whining stand chose to give him some verbal, and when Cov scored he told them to f*** Off.

This apparently makes him a wanker.

Now I was going to let this lie. BUT this opinion amazes me.

A player who comes to us, gets sent off straight away (not for two late challenges because he is giving 100% but because he is frustrated and punches someone!) when we are in dia need of strikers. Then proceeds to score a massive total of one goal after 28 games. Apparently this guy is ok because he gave us a good word in Argus?

A player who comes to us, is obviously a class above all the players around him. Is dogged by injury all season, which is no fault of his own. Still manages to score twice as many goals as Barrett. Gets serious stick all season and is now called a wanker?


It is odd isn't it. I know which player I'd rather see back at the club.

Once again for the record I don't condone any OTT abuse that Barrett got in the first half, I certainly didn't hear anything that would shock my mother. However, if you react as a player then you will get booed.

The reason no one liked Kitson is that he never acknowledged the fans, (even after scoring the winner at Reading), icould not be arsed to warm up with the team prior to matches, in the words of the manager (Coppell) had "mysterious" injuries that the medical team struggled to disgnose, with the clear inference that they were more in his head than in his body, had more skill in his little finger than most of the squad had in their bodies but preferred to spend his time playing snooker and popping down to Ladbrokes.

Barrett was a headless chicken who in my view is not good enough for this division, but then so is Gary Hart, who also has a dodgy temper, does not score many goals any more, but I would never call him a wanker and I appreciate him because he never stops trying.

Football is an emotional game, if you had been getting the 'reject/rubbish' stick for an hour from the Withdean whiners how would you have reacted when Cov scored? Just because he told the stand to 'f*** off' it did not make him a wanker, thats all I am saying.

But Kitson took stick all season for his injuries, not surprising he didn't warm to the fans. At least he scored a winner!

Not all season, when he signed I was made up as have always rated him as a skilful and intelligent player, and I think most other fans were also behind him.

The stories that came from the club itself, via Coppell and other leaks, turned most people against him.

To be honest, I would not have Kitson nor Barrett back. Kitson, while once being a good Premiership striker spent so much time on the treatment table that he must have suffered bed sores while Barrett is a player of considerable effort and very little goalscoring talent.

I don't think Barrett is a wanker, he did what loads of people have done in the past and will do in the future.

I also think it is time to move on. We have Leon Knight, a good player with a bit of attitude who seems decent enough with the fans and we have Moalngo, someone who may or may not be good but who clearly loves playing for the club.

Barrett and Kitson, for different reasons, have thankfully been consigned to the dustbin of history. Knight, Molango and Robinson are the future....
