Hi

I tried posting on the foxestalk forum due to a number of ridiculous posts on there belittling little old baaarnsley, but couldn't, so here I am..

Well done on signing Drinkwater. He had been on loan at Cardiff and Watford I think in the last couple of seasons. He went to Huddersfield last. The noises we heard from Huddersfield fans were that he was basically an average league one toiler, good in the tackle but not much else...I think he played most the season for him. His career appeared to be going nowhere and he came to us.

Keith Hill and David Flitcroft are without doubt the best management team outside the Premier League. They seem to have a talent for spotting individuals, knitting them into a team and getting the very best out of them. You will have seen that last week. We didn't play particularly any better than we have for the majority of the season last week and by right should have had no chance, but thats Hill and Flitcroft. We can only hope they take us up before someone takes them from us.

If Drinkwater continues in the vein he has played under Hill you have yourself a good player. Great desire, strong in the tackle, superb shot - I suppose the only concern for you is whether he has only been playing well because of Hill and plateaus under an inferior manager in Nigel Pearson.

Good luck for the rest of the season and I hope you manage to stay up.

Talk about delusion of grandeur.

Yeah, come on lads it's only Barnley from Barnsley, FFS

If I lived in Barnsley in the middle of winter, I'd be spending a lot of time at home on my computer too

Let's not fall into the 'arrogant pricks' chasm that Leeds & Forest fans slipped into about 10 years ago

The occassional away fan with a little tongue-in-cheek humour, should always be welcome here

My favourite ever 'away' fan to visit this forum was the Plymouth fan when we got relegated from the Championship under Holloway. He loved winding us up about Holloway moving to a smaller club, how Plymouth were going to be play off candidates and how the board had done a good job. How things can change!
 
In fairness, he scored a decent goal against us back in October.
Their superior management team was, however, 2-0 down at the time, and were 5-1 down going into the last ten minutes when we gifted them a couple of late consolation goals.
Danny being a stand out player in the Barnsley team is quite believable.
 
My favourite bit is the Leicester supporters slating Barnsley.

All together now...

"IT'S LIKE RAIIINNNNN..."
