Now this may have been discussed before and if so I apologise. It was good to see Our Ash score for Norwich vs Milwall ….. Hanley currently injured. How do we reckon Barnsey and Hanley will get on as Team mates this season?

Why do you think Hanley’s injured

I’m sure the 20k a week they both earn will help settle any nerves.

I didn’t really mean nerves I meant history. Didn’t Hanley say he’d NEVER play for Burnley. Be interesting coz Ash was a key part of our dressing room. Other players loved him.

I’m pretty sure they get on very well.

How do you know that? Neither will ever forget the rivalry I don’t think!

Hanley is always injured, so they probably don't see much of each other.

If so, he was spot-on with that.

Sports people are used to competing against rivals and then becoming team mates.

I heard from a mate of Norwich's U12 kitman's mum that it was our Ash who bashed Hanley to cause his latest career-ending injury

Got the injury at, of all places, Ewood last season when he suffered a serious Achilles injury. They had both central defenders carried off that day, Hanley in the first half and Gibson in the second half but still won. Neither played for Norwich again last season and Hanley needed surgery.

The gargoyle Hanley has never been good enough for Burnley.
The release video would need an 18 rating anyway.

As they aren't 12yr olds I think they will be fine

Lots of banter, that's all.

Being rivals and being friends are too totally different things.
Perfectly possible that they have a lot of mutual respect for each other and I'm certain that Barnes would never be happy to see a fellow pro out with a long-term injury.

Hanley was interviewed before the televised match on Sunday and spoke pretty well.

He has to be better then Gibson who seemed pretty shaky to me.

Always rated Hanley as a player, still b'tard tho.

Old fashioned no nonsense CB

Barnsey won’t let him near his kids in case he scares them ! Grant Ugly?

Yeah but that was so silly. Sky interviewed him before the derby and asked if he would ever play for Burnley.
Of course he's going to say no. But then the pundits made a really big deal of it. He's not exactly going to say he'd love to.

Hanley is doing is other job ATM
Haunting houses

A mate of mine has a signed photo of Grant Hanley on his Mantlepeice ...

I asked him "is it because you are a Blackburn Rovers fan and he was your favourite player"
He replied "No its because he is an ugly b'stid and his ugly mug keeps the kids away from the fire"

He might have said that and he may well have meant it at the time, but if we’d offered him £60k a week he would’ve snapped our hands off….

He would never play for Burnley because he’d never get the chance go, garbage.

That’s wot I was getting at

Grant Hanley- living proof, that man, did indeed evolve from apes.

Grunt Hanley is the missing link
