Guest BigThompers Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 P/P = Positive Play - Maximum 10 pts per Match R/O = Respect Towards Opponent - Maximum 7 pts per Match R/R = Respect Towards Referee - Maximum 7 pts per Match Smith is likely to have cost us so, so many.

ewerk 26282 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I'll take that as an admission of guilt then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 So you realise now you're talking complete and utter bollocks then? Smith's aggressive behaviour and approach brings out the worst in other players, resulting in the majority of our bookings whilst he's been on the pitch being down to him.

Scottish Mag 3 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 NEWCASTLE United’s Mr Versatility Alan Smith is banking on a return to Kevin Keegan’s starting line-up for the first time in two months at Goodison Park tomorrow – against the club that tried to sign him last summer. And Smith has two chances against Everton with his former Leeds United striking partner Mark Viduka ruled out through injury and midfielder Joey Barton unable to travel to his native Merseyside because of his bail conditions in relation to his two assault charges. However, despite his versatility, Keegan has always seen Smith as a striker, and if the England international does get the nod that’s where he hopes he will be playing, even though he will face competition from young James Carroll. Smith has yet to score in a black-and-white shirt and you have to go back to November 2005 for his last goal in the Premier League. Last summer Everton boss David Moyes tried hard to land Smith, then a Manchester United player, but the 27-year-old opted for St James’s Park instead. Smith has had a tough first season with United and has had to wait patiently for opportunities since he was dropped after defeat to Liverpool at Anfield in early February, with Keegan refusing to change a winning team apart from when he had to through Steven Taylor’s illness and Abdoulaye Faye’s injury. Looking at the situation tomorrow with Viduka and Barton out, Keegan said: “Every time a player gets injured, it’s a blow. “All managers are the same. You have a board in your room, and you move that player where it says injured, and you look at what you have left. You say ‘Right – it’s an opportunity for this guy’. That’s the easy part. The hardest part is for the guy to grab that opportunity. “There will be opportunities for one or two players this weekend at Everton, but that doesn’t mean to say it will weaken the side. It may be, by doing this at this time, that we strengthen it.” Keegan will also be without Emre, who has joined up with his Turkey team-mates for a pre-Euro 2008 training camp while James Milner is still short on fitness and will not be involved.

Tom 13835 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Nicky Butt has 11 Yellow cards, Smith has 8 (& 1 red). Faye has 5. But it would be fair to say that Butt and Smith have cost us some serious points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigThompers Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Nicky Butt has picked up those cards because hard tackling is part of his effective role in the team. Smiths have all been pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13835 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Plus Butt has played more than Smith. Smiths red card at Manchester United was fucking pointless too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigThompers Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) Nicky Butt's tackles have broken up play more often than not. He's got a few of them wrong and picked up some cards. Smiths cards have been "I'm shit so I'm going to two-foot this cunt so it looks like I'm trying" Edited May 10, 2008 by BigThompers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeazesMag 0 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 You mean you read the thread over on NO? And Butt was just as bad tbh. No I didn't read it, so that isn't what I mean. Butt picked up those yellow cards actually successfully playing his role as a midfield anchorman. Smith, who has often been deployed as a striker, has this minging record whilst his goal record is still at 0. Disgusting thug, and a mega-shitter. how do you know he's a mega shitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that if you took Smith's bookings out of the equation we still wouldn't be getting the spot. FFS.
