Doubt you’d hear proven say it was a booking if it was brown that made the challengeThis one..
Honestly that's my only clear memory of Bartley, and it's a goodenThis one..
I think he might’ve played one game on a tour for them but nothing competitiveDont think he ever played for Arsenal at senior level did he? Had Wenger kept hold of him could have been a decent squad player for them as they lacked a no nonsense player at that time
Watching the WBA v Stoke game tonight and seeing Bartley reminded me of when he was with us (can't believe it was 8 years ago).
I did a google search on him and found out that SG was interested in signing him from Swansea (or was it just paper talk?)
Anyway, it never happened and we signed Goldson instead.
Interested to hear FF opinion - did we get a better player in Goldson?
That's what we always need. Somebody who will put THAT type of tackle in.This one..
This one..
He did very well at Leeds - good partnership with JanssonPlayed some of his best football for Leeds, always looked good got them
It always gives me a wee chuckleHonestly that's my only clear memory of Bartley, and it's a gooden
Correct. Or Flanagan on rogic last season, win the ball with there being no doubts but wipe out the man at the same time.The wanking over that tackle is really over the top. The booking he took meant he was completely ineffective for the vast majority of the game. If you're going to flatten someone then you need to do it with a perfectly executed tackle which doesn't result in a foul like Thomson against Keane.
He was Ok at Blues.Under Lee Clark iirc.At B’ham and `Swansea he was a dirty bastard.
Always assumed that was from his time with us!
This one..
Wish someone would. First thing I would ever do if I was good enough to play professionally is snap that prick in half. Most overrated prick I think I’ve ever seen mostly in his own thick headThe only bad thing I can say about Kyle is he didn’t break browns leg in that challenge. I have a large collection of butt-plugs and finish the job
Splattering Brown made him a legend.Yes. But I was never a fan of Bartley.
Spot on, it's the one thing we are missing from the current squad. Sometimes, regardless of the booking, you need someone who can put players like Lego back in their box and have a limp for the rest of a game.That's what we always need. Somebody who will put THAT type of tackle in.
Anybody who gives it to the lego eater is ok in my book.
Looks like a fair attempt at playing the ball, harsh yellowThis one..
