Room 101: Ashley Barnes (Brighton & Hove Albion)

THE Brighton striker  takes us through his pet hates that he wants thrown into the infamous Room 101.

FIFA FURY

Kaz (LuaLua) can be annoying when he beats me at Fifa.

He isn’t very good, but when he beats me he thinks he’s number one! He is actually very good to be fair, but I’ve been a bit like Andy Murray lately, I’ve come from nowhere and I’m starting to win championships.

We play a lot. It’s awesome – we only live two doors away from each other in Brighton, so as soon as I’ve put the little one to bed I’m normally straight around his house instead of spending time with my wife! He’s loud when we’re playing Fifa, especially when he beats me and gets a bit mouthy, but when he’s losing he breaks controller after controller.

The FLP says: You’ve got to let the poor guy win sometimes or he’ll have no controllers left. It’s not going in.

DANGEROUS DRIVERS

I’m generally pretty easy going, so it’s difficult, but I’d say road rage is well up there as number one.

When people pull out in front of you or are just driving badly it’s really easy to get wound up or annoyed. It’s dangerous, especially when I’ve got the little one in the car.

When people are pulling out or driving dangerously and the little one’s in the car I’m just a little bit more sensitive to it, just to be on the safe side. I think I get a bit more angry though. But I definitely won’t get one of those Baby On Board signs. That doesn’t make much of a difference to those drivers anyway.

The FLP says: We’re on board too. Bad drivers are in.

TEA SLURPING

If I go with another football one, I’d say Bucks (Will Buckley) slurping his tea – he does it all the time.

He doesn’t know he’s doing it but all the lads hear it as well, we were all in on it but him. He does know now, but he just can’t help it. It’s just him. We call him Fuller, after the little kid from Home Alone who drinks from a can of coke and slurps really loudly.

Bucks is just like that when he’s drinking from his cup of tea! I wish he’d be quiet.

The FLP says: Sounds like he needs to buck his ideas up, this makes the cut.
