junkhead

so is he left-footed?

i'd rather have my kid idolizing drugs and guns than Titus Bramble.

hope he's learned a word or two since then..

apparently, he's a good friend of Zog.. would take him over Butt any time

arsenal..ah, fuck it

shocking is an overstatement, Smith and Butt's distribution was shocking.. Enrique is clearly confident going forward, has a decent left foot and good technique on the ball, while not being a liability at the back so far.. i'm happy with him

it must be hard for him to have a dig at Faye, the way he has played so far.. don't worry, NM, he'll fuck up soon and your day will come

Is this post invisible? i don't think he's south african, and not convinced he's 5 foot 11 either. He is South African actually. DR Congo surely

yeah, but he did ok, compared to last season's constant back passing

what bugs me the most is how Butt's hair forms a vertical line at the back of his head.. never seen another human with a thing like that..

also showed more promise than Brian Kerr and Martin Brittain put together. 2 other midfielders that came through the Academy. and walked quicker than Milner has ran for all his life

Ali Daei holds the record for most international goals though.. and he has a normal haircut

blueyes.gif calling A Oliver to ask for Allardyce's email, so that i can send him the bit in bold!

some fit birds in there, the lad has genuinely impressed me tonight

i feel there will be some serious screaming at the monitor for the next month while Faye is away

it's refreshing to see somebody in a black and white shirt dribbling with ease and not being scared of the ball

just an opinion, but I think if Cacapa had played at the back instead of Faye, we would have lost yep, i don't think Cacapa would've been comfortable at all in tonight's game, but i bet that if he was played in midfield instead of Smith, he couldn't have been any worse..

Which is probably the same as Martins. watch more carefully next time we play, coach.. i'm not saying Martins is some world class poacher, but at least he has a few strong sides to his game, Smith on the other hand is completely average at everything he does on the pitch, except for making stupid fouls and yelling to the ref.. so what's the criteria?

ah, sorry to bump this, but did you notice how many times the 'good footballer' Alan Smith did not make a mistake tonight? 6.. he made 6 short passes that were not intercepted.. and that was his whole contribution to the team tonight.. now that's a good footballer!

he looks like this guy i play football with on Sunday mornings, always fat, always unshaven, always drunk from the night before.. and always shit

when he's good, he's just another grafter who gets stuck in.. and we really need more of his type, DON'T WE, Sam?!

Smith and Butt can fuck off and take Barton, Geremi and Emre with them.. i'd rather play the U18s.. at least they don't take millions from the club for being shite

Alan Smith makes me sick, Nicky Butt too.. anti-footballers to the max

How many times has he played on the right wing? He's played right side of a front 3 but that's hardly the same as a right winger. in Allardyce's 4-3-3, it is.

Get help. The only thing Martins has over Smith is goals Oh, so not much then? The point lost on you it seems is goals as infrequent as they come from Martins I might add, are not enough. We need more from Martins than the odd goal. yeah, we could've done without Martins' odd goal last year.. wonder how Smith's creative genius would've fit next to Sibierski.. or from the right wing.. oh wait, we've seen that this season What Martins did last year doesn't matter in regards to this debate. Lets re-sign Andy Cole because of what he did in 93-94... No. i wrote it, because you keep saying that the odd goal is not good enough yeah, surely, if we are Real Madrid, it's not good enough.. but we are a team that lacks flair so much it hurts my eyes watching model pros like Smith playing their pointless side passes.. Martins' goals were good enough to save us from certain relegation last year, playing in a team that created even less chances than this season's.. in my eyes, he has proved here that he is a good striker and a danger for every defense.. sure he has his shortcommings, but who fucking doesn't.. if only Allardyce had some common sense to play him more regularly instead the lost cause of Mickey Owen, maybe his form wouldn't have suffered so much..
