Newcastle Fan Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I refuse to believe that the only reason he's starting is because Mike Ashley likes (loves) him but its becoming more and more clear that thats the case.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Any news on what he actually said? "If I don't score a goal this season you can send me off" Like most bookies the ref paid out early on the sure thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 If any more proof was needed that giving 100% and getting stuck in isn't enough at this level then that was it, lets hope fat Sam gets a new club soon and buys this useless cunt off us.

Cajun Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 i love smiths attitude and work rate but its just not enough,he just doesnt add anything to our team. I do appreciate what he puts in but he is so average its unreal. As a midfielder he is woeful, as a striker he can hold the ball up and....... erm.......... he gets stuck in.

Shearergol Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Man United fans were cheering him tonight, as well as Butt. I asked them if they'd have the useless bastards back in their team, and got a "fuck that, they're shit now" response. Smith's just a waste. He does absolutely nothing.

TaylorJ_01 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I find it so frustrating how he slide tackles ALL the time. It never achieves anything and nearly always lands us in trouble... usless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Agree, Smith was Sam's biggest mistake. He has absolutely nothing to offer football wise. In fact, he's a liability. Gives away silly freekicks all the time which cost us, as happened yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sittingontheball Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Is that a three-match ban? I sure hope so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 That was the only decent thing that happened in the game yesterday, Smith getting sent off, means he won't be in midfield for those 3 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind, he's up there, certainly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I'd quite like us to sign John Arne Riise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 The annoying thing is that we are stuck with players like this with their massive wages and poor attitude. What the hell do we do with them? Surely no-one would want to buy them... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I say Barton was Sams biggest mistake-closely followed by Rozenhal.Smith could do a good job if employed in his proper position,ie up front.He got away with murder playing NZog at left back.

Dokko Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 He'll be gone in the summer, i reckon we'll get our money back as well, people outside still rate him and will probably just blame us for him having an off season. Barton will be the tricky one getting our coin back for. Would anyone take the chance? Chances are he could come good given the right support off field as he has the ability, just needs to sort his life out. Rozy should hold some value due to him having good exp abroad, Cacapa, Viduka & Geremi were all free, and i'd keep Enrique, Beye & Feye. Allardyce's mess isn't so messy really, but it could of been worse if he was given this window to spend. We got rid of him in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShearMagic Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 It's a two match ban for Smith. Usually I wouldn't be that bothered, but it leaves us very short in midfield with Butts two match ban at the same time. N'Zogbia and Emre in central midfield?

ShearMagic Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Does anyone else think that he might come good under new management when he's more than likely going to be asked to attack? Alan Smith is not a holding midfielder and has looked crap there, but when he's played in attack this season he's looked a lot better. Plus, even though there is a lack of talent there, at least he gives 110%. I wish some of the other players would take note sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I hate Alan Smith, and I genuinely belive he's one of the worst players I've watched represent us in 15 odd years of supporting this team. His entire ability consists of receiving the ball, losing it or giving it away, and then fouling somebody in a dangerous position. That's it. He can't/doesn't shoot, can't pass, can't cross, can't actually tackle without conceding a free kick or notching up a booking/red card, and is clearly thick as a lumerjack's stockpile. The man has no talent. He was an alright forward at Leeds, where a goalscoring burden was one him, but failed at Man United where the main reason he was held in such regard was because he had a nasty injury and so everyone felt sorry for him because he was a "nice lad", which he isn't anyway, he's a dispicable, fouling, foul-mouthed tosser. I hate this argument that because he "gives 100% every game" and "gets stuck in" he merits a regular starting berth. FFS every play should give 100% and get stuck in as a minimum requirement, for me it goes without saying. The man for me is a useless waste of transfer fee and wages and isn't good enough to sit in the bench, let alone be captain, as he literally offers nothing to our team. Furthermore, he has not looked that good in attack. To be a striker you must score goals, simple as. He can't and doesn't. Viduka, while lazier than him, will at least fashion himself a chance/stick away a goal or two given the service. Smith has somehow blagged his way to being an England squad regular and an undisputed starter here without any merit whatsoever, so I congratulate him on his ability to dupe everyone. Maybe he sends out nice Christmas cards or is actually the bastard child of Brian Barwick or something. I can't figure out any other reason why he plays.
