fucking hell.

"Actually" is a very matter of fact statement, I think you'll find thats a matter of some disagreement. Terribly sorry. Must remember the "in my opinion" bit beforehand. You never see anyone stating opinions as fact after all. Wouldn't want to make that mistake again. Good, glad we've cleared that up.

Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce believes Alan Smith's versatility can make his job much easier this season. The £6million signing from Manchester United can play up front or across the midfield, giving Allardyce options during the current crop of injuries. Smith's ability to play a number of roles will also come in handy early next year, when Newcastle will lose a number of players to the African Cup of Nations. Smith is again a likely starter for Sunday's Barclays Premier League clash with West Ham at St James' Park as the Magpies attempt to bounce back from the disappointment of Monday's 1-0 defeat at Derby. Adapting But asked how he sees the player's long-term role, Allardyce said: "Versatile. There is nothing better than somebody who is capable of adapting to a number of positions and playing with their heart on their sleeve like Alan does, going out there and giving his all. "There will be a number of occasions when we are short on numbers like we are now. In the last two games we have been short on squad numbers because of all the injuries. "He is able to fill in in midfield, up front and in the wide position for us, so he is a crucial part of the make-up of a successful side." Smith made his name as a striker at hometown Leeds before being converted into a midfielder at Old Trafford. With Newcastle already boasting four frontline hitmen - Michael Owen, Mark Viduka, Obafemi Martins and Shola Ameobi - he may have to continue in the middle of the park as Allardyce searches for his best XI and the most effective system under which they can operate. Poor display That is a process which he freely admits could take some time to complete. Asked when he might reach that point, he said: "Next season - if we are lucky." Newcastle welcome the Hammers having surrendered their unbeaten start to the season in a poor display at Pride Park. The club's fans have since made their feelings known with Ameobi, who started his first league game of the season, coming in for particular criticism. Allardyce, however, was quick to leap to the 25-year-old's defence. He said: "I don't know why just him because he was no worse than a lot of the others. I don't know why he was singled out for it. "It's a shame because he could have turned that into being the hero if he had put in the chance he had. "Like everybody else, it is down to the service sometimes and your other team-mates clicking all together and unfortunately, too many of us did not click on the night. "It's a little unfair to point all the criticism at him when there was a lot of players on the pitch that night below their best." Owen has recovered from the groin injury which forced his premature departure at Derby, while Viduka is also fit after a hamstring strain.

tragic, RIP

I love it when you talk dirty I bet you've had your cross-seal crimped a few times

Haven't had waffles for years, are they still 'waffully versatile'? Oh yes, you should go out and buy as many as possible. Do they still make Hungry Joe's Jimbo? No mate, we didn't make them for very long, the spikey coating kept bursting the bags as the bagging machine crimped the cross-seal.

Totally agree... Totally disagree, he's just a surfing James Bl©unt! Without going all Patrokles on ya'ass get out there and listen to something that hasn't had the life ripped out of it by a major label A&R wanker! Jack Johnson is ok, its just for me all his songs sound exactly the same.

Not at all surprised, in fact I was convinced he wouldn't start this season at Stamford Bridge.

Just watched the first episode of series 3 of Prison Break, fucking awesome.

agreed, the world was robbed.

He's not even the most talented acoustical singer/songwriter in his oh so tight jumper, let alone "of recent times", Blunt is not the worst singer/songwriter to pick up a microphone... but he's nowhere near to being close to the most talented. If you are a fan of acoustical singer/songwriters... instead of Blunt try; Jeff Buckley, Newton Faulkner, Scott Matthews, Joe Purdy, Ray Lamontagne, Joshua Radin.. off the top of my head. By the way, Prince's level of success didn't come along by chance, I dare to get his back catalogue and not appreciate the mans ability, even if you dislike the music. Wise words
