Alan Smith

[Northern Monkey]

During the week Keegan was quoted as saying something abotu Smith and his committment, battling etc.

 

Frankly, Smith is an absolute crock of shit, and he can fuck off. And, to be honest, any manager who insists on picking him despite seeing him play is a fucking idiot.

Aye.

 

I wonder how many people would see KK walk if he were to stick to playing Smith every game next season.

 

I know i'd rather he'd leave the club as i simply couldn't trust his judgement.

 

Hopefully its just keeping an 'asset'  sellable until the summer.

If he continues to play him, for me it'll just be yet more evidence that he should never have come back, and that his "success" with us and citeh was luck, and that his other bad managerial performances were the real KK.

 

Can't see how playng Smith makes him saleable - surely his value is plummeting every time the likes of he and BArton play??

Honestly go ask god why but people still rate him outside of the club.

 

I think its the worker attitude, managers and fans love it, they see it and think wow, what a fuking worker even though they are doing shit he never stops. They fail to realise its partly because of him were playing so shit and go away with the opinion that he's half decent.

 

His mental approach to the game will see us recoup every penny we paid for him in the summer, i have no doubt. (that's if we want to sell him)

If we don't get rid of him, Keegan is a cunt, i honestly think that. He's not even good enough to be a squad player (you need players on the bench who can DO something when they come on).

 

I pity the next club who sign him. If e got £3m back, we'd still be robbing someone.

Total agreement.

 

If Smith is a starter next season KK can fuk off.

Sorry about this fellas, but i have nowhere else to vent my anger.

 

Keegan has had 7 games - 5 of which we've lost and 2 of which we've drawn. No wins in 7 games with Alan Smith up front. In that time we've scored 3 goals.

Smith has scored 0 and created 0 yet he still gets picked ahead of Martins, Viduka, Ameobi and Carroll.

 

I'm fucking seething about this useless cunt being in the starting 11 week after week when we have much more capable alternatives on the bench. We're in a relegation scrap for fucks sake! We need fucking goals!

 

What the fuck is going on?! Does he really have this 'plays if fit' clause in his contract?

Unfortunately mate KK does not look as though he's going to change his selection, it's the same old inept shit that are trotted out every week, no matter how much Barton or Butt concede possession and how much Smith continues to be Smith. There's no point in hoping for a change and, like you, I'm fuking seething at the prospect of seeing this twat

[Skirge]

I think he will now play Owen and Martins so Smith will be in midfield for Barton or Butt if he is not fit. Barton as shite as he was created a few good chances for us against Blackburn so its a toss up between Smith or Barton in a CM role.

That's Barton's job, isn't it? How can you call him shite?

[Decky]

As ridiculous as the rumoured sounded, i more or less believe all this talk about the if fit you play contract, why else pick him all the time and say he is brilliant to the media? If KK plays the rest of the season starting Smith ahead of Martins i can see boos at SJP before its all said and done tbh, people wont sit back and just do nothing while watching us get relegated with Smith constantly starting.

Thats the dilemma, he was shite, he got caught in possession loads, gave the ball away through very poor passing BUT he did show a bit of drive late on and also did put Owen in twice, so Smith or Barton in the middle?

while i feel your frustration at having to watch smith play in black n white,since kk came back, viduka's not been fit, martins was away and then had an ankle problem, ameobi's probably just as bad and carrol doesnt have the experience, the only one of those four i'd put in would be carrol but i can see why kk hasnt

Smith wont be dropped mate, i would rather him up front with either Martins or Owen than see KK do what he did the other day playing all three. That either means a rubbish 433 or worse, Smith in CM

[Ronaldo]

I will go from loving Keegan to wanting him to fuck right off if Smith is still here next season, never despised an nufc player as much

[Baggio]

Smith was dropped for a game by fat Sam wasn't he?

[Mowen]

Smith was dropped for a game by fat Sam wasn't he?

 

Reading away iirc?

[Baggio]

I can't remember which game mate, I just hope the fact he has been dropped can put an end to the talk of his contract saying he has to play when fit.

[Dave]

Maybe that's why Sam was sacked.

 

[Mowen]

I can't remember which game mate, I just hope the fact he has been dropped can put an end to the talk of his contract saying he has to play when fit.

 

Agreed. It's clearly bollocks.

[steve_69]

To be honest i'd probably be less frustrated if it was true. At least that would explain this fucking lunacy.

Playing that plank out of choice is a far more worrying scenario.

[Guest alex]

Can't remember which game it was either but Smith was dropped following a suspension iirc.

So many cliches:

 

KK Influence Starting To Show - Smudge

 

By Craig Hope

 

ALAN Smith believes that the influence of Kevin Keegan is starting to tell despite the Magpies' continuing search for a first win under the new boss.

 

The Geordies were denied what would've been a deserved three points against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday with visiting keeper Brad Friedel producing a string of top drawer saves before Matt Derbyshire snatched a winner at the death.

 

But, with Keegan now more than six weeks in to his second managerial stint on Tyneside, Smith feels that the effect of a change in training and tactics is beginning to show out on the pitch.

 

"The more and more we work together the more influence the manager is having," the 27-year-old told Newcastle World TV.

 

"We are getting fitter and there is a camaraderie and that's something the gaffer has emphasised since he came in.

 

"Everyone is playing for each other and that stands us in good stead.

 

"It is a time where we have to stand up and be counted, go out in front of 52,000 people and prove our worth.

 

"We've got to show to everyone that we want to fight for the cause."

 

Smith, who has experienced the pain of top flight relegation with hometown club Leeds United in 2004, knows that Newcastle could be sucked into a basement battle if they don't start to get some much-needed points on board.

 

"It's getting tight but you always knew it would do," he added.

 

"We looked at our home games as ones that were winnable, and one was against Blackburn.

 

"We've deserved criticism on occasions this season and we're all big enough to accept that.

 

"It's up to us as a team, as players, and as people to sort that out."

Yeh it was Reading away.
