You can't have been watching very long. He's bad, but we've had far worse.
I haven't been watching Newcastle as long as 99% on here, but I know that I can safely say he's the worst player I've seen play for us in my time. Absolutely no hyperbole either, comfortably the worst.
Rozehnal, Cacapa and Butt were worse in recent years, to name but a few.
Not defending Smith, cause he was awful today.
