Yorkie Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 With Smith, Butt and Duff regular fixtures in the side last season we were on our way down - that's not an exaggeration, that's what was going to happen. Fortunately we had a manager with the balls not only to drop them, but to enforce a cracking formation that ensured we were miles away from the drop. I doubt Kinnear has it and i can see Smith being in the side week-in, week-out tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 If we look back at last season we were heading for relegation while Keegan stuck with Smith. If Kinnear makes the same mistake it might mean us going down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 The good news, i suppose, is that he looked class in pre-season. Oh, that backheel against Mallorca. Urgh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I am trying to forget just how s*** he is and get excited about him coming back and be amazing. This. I hold the claim i have saw Smith score for NUFC , against Juve in a pre-season friendly. His debut, fine headed goal . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hold the claim i have saw Smith score for NUFC , against Juve in a pre-season friendly. His debut, fine headed goal . Luque & Carroll scored, who nearly got two until Buffon took him out big time. It was against a lower league team the Smith goal I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Alan Smith starts bid to rebuild NUFC career Jan 20 2009 by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle ALAN SMITH will start to rebuild his shattered Newcastle United career in today’s behind-closed-doors friendly with Carlisle United. The former Manchester United striker has been out since August when he suffered an Achilles injury during pre-season. He last made an appearance against Valencia in the 2-1 friendly win at St James’s Park. Smith has not appeared for United in the first team this season. The Chronicle revealed on January 11 that Smith was aiming to make his comeback to the first team for United in next Wednesday’s trip to Manchester City. Should he get through today’s match with Carlisle unscathed, he is likely to be available to Joe Kinnear on the bench at Eastlands. Kinnear told the Chronicle today: “We hope to give Smithy some time on the pitch today. “He’s been out of action for a long time and he is the only player who hasn’t been available to me. “It’s good for him to get back out there and get some action. “He’s been putting in a lot of hard work behind the scenes and been trying to get back to fitness.” http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/deadreflection/Mr-Bill---Ohh-Nooo-Magnet-C11751410.jpg?t=1232481582 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus, just read up that match and totally forgot how he should have had 2 goals that day but the first was flagged offside wrongly. He fell from grace after one fucking match. Unbelievable.

Flip Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'm pretty happy he's back and you all might disagree. But right now we're shit and he might actually come back from injury with a miracle. Who knows? All we can do is either sell or support the lad, so lets stand by his side and give him a standing ovation next time he plays under us, imagine if he could get back to old form.... ....yeah right, who am i kidding, hes awful!

oldtype Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 The only way Smith is recapturing old form is with a time machine. More likelihood of Shearer coming out of retirement and banging in 30 goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
