Guest alex Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 The point scoring does go too far on here at times, I'm as bad as anyone but it really does spoil the board. Have you met Mr. Kettle? I've said I'm as bad as anyone tbf. That doesn't exonerate you mate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 To be fair it seems like all you are saying is he'd do better at a club with lower expectations because they wouldn't mind it so much that he's so ball-burstingly useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Ever since the janitor went on holiday with him to florida, he's been bumming him. Even copied his hair, the big hom. It's the other way round man. Just had the barnet sorted anyway, short back and sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 A certain type on here seems to be the No 1 fan of Smith - you his dad, "Janitor" ? 100% effort means absolutely sweet FA if it isnt accompanied by a modicum of ability, or actually having a positive as opposed to negative effect on the teams performance How many chances does he get FFS ?? Smith doesn't even come up to zero on that. He's been an absolute disaster (I hate to say I told you so - but I TOLD YOU SO) More of a hindrance than a help, and I'd class Butt only fractionally ahead of him. How man, spacker chops. You're making shite up again. I don't want Alan Smith in the team for fuck's sake. All I ever asked was that the bloke was given a chance, and he has been, and Baggio has so far been proven to be absolutely correct about him. Can't say fairer than that, surely?

Theregulars Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I know it's wrong but there's a bastard in side of me that hopes he'll pick up some form of injury, not horrendous, just enough to keep him out for the rest of the season but serious enough so that it keeps recurring next season. He hasn't picked up a booking in a while which is annoying me. I would seriously support the idea of booing him, just to get him out of the team. Words cannot convey how much I hate this man.

This has annoyed me more than the fact we have lost the last 2, the fact that now Smith is one booking away from a ban, he has stopped getting booked.

It's a load of bollocks. it's actually the most reasonable explanantion Allardyce picked him because Smith was his buy. He paid £6m for him and if he'd have left him out, he'd have been accused of buying a dud. Keegan picks him because he remembers the player he used to be at Leeds....if I'm being very harsh on the bloke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 We all know that he's been a horrendous signing and we all know that he's nowhere near good enough in the long term... but, in our five remaining away fixtures, Martins and Smith would be my first choice partnership. In Owen and Viduka we have two gifted players, undoubtedly the two most talented strikers at the club, but on the road they simply do not offer enough to the general play of a struggling side, and when the former is not even taking the chances given to him, he offers virtually nothing. I also think it would be comical to give Carroll his first Premier League start in a relegation '6-pointer', away from home, and expect him to make any kind of impact. For all of his faults (notably appearing to have lost all of his striking instincts ), Smith does bring certain qualities to the team. As i said in the match thread, he will defend from the front, he will make opposing defenders work and the fact that he constantly gets involved in the game means he offers more ball retention than any of the alternatives. I could see any other combination of our strikers going missing for the 90 minutes against Birmingham and we cannot afford that at this stage.
