Yep. According to the BBC stats, over 600 of Barry's matches has been as a starter which is some going, especially if you think most of those 32 would have been when he was younger. Milner runs at only just over 400 as a starter.
Some Brighton fans feel he's being given sub appearances purely to get the record and that he's not PL standard any more.

I was talking to one the other night and she said that twice he has been bought on as a late sub and it has cost them.
He came on as late sub but not sure how HE specifically cost them. Everton goal was a weak Dunk clearing header and the late Fulham goal was a direct freekick given away by someone else I believe. (Assuming that was the two matches being reffered to).

Re Milner, some hillarious social media outrage about his dastardly way of beating Gareth Barry's record.
Barry or Milner, the better player? Barry for me
Gazza Bazza; and never seemed to get injured.
Barry was without a doubt the more gifted footballer, but 2009-10 Milner was almost the complete midfielder.
In terms of value to us, I'm going to buck the trend and say Milner.
Both were terrific players for us, for different reasons.
I vote for Barry for often being the best player in a struggling side, as well as being the best 17-year-old I've ever seen.
I also vote for the 2009/10 Milner who was so dynamic in the centre of midfield that he allowed us to get away with playing 4-4-2.
Milner didn't play the weekend so he can only level with the record if he comes on for us.
