Alan Smith says something

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7275009.stm


Newcastle United striker Alan Smith has urged his
team-mates to start showing their mettle after Saturday's 1-0 defeat by
Blackburn.



The Magpies are without a win in seven games and now sit just three points clear of the relegation zone.

Smith told BBC Radio Newcastle: "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."

The 27-year-old has already experienced relegation
during his career, with Leeds United in 2004, and is aware of how
quickly Newcastle could be sucked in if results do not improve.

He said: "It's getting tight but you always knew it
would do. 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."

He always says the same things. Gotta fight for the cause. This is when we have to stand up and be counted. We have to get the crowd going, they want to see us giving our all. SHUT THE f@ck UP you are a $h!t footballer who is on the verge of getting his second huge club relegated

he is a true redblood lrd

If only he recieved the same adulation at Newcastle he got from old trafford

Alex Ferguson can spot talent. Smith will come good just like Forlan, Rossi, Bellion, Djemba-Djemba and Kleberson.

Liverpool fans should know

work rate is important IMO, but not as important as talent. Imagine if Viduka had Smith's workrate.

But most of those have had enough of him now. And Kuyt works harder than Smith. Smith simply makes a few wreckless tackles here and there. For someone who works so hard it's surprising he goes missing for 95% of the game. Both are shite but could Smith score all those goals in Holland? no chance

By the way love this quote from your link

Nancy Astor: “Sir, if you were my husband, I would give you poison.”
Churchill: “If I were your husband I would take it.”

why did you post a pic of someone the vast majority of Liverpool fans do not rate spank ?

As good as this one -

Bessie Braddock: “Sir, you are drunk.”
Churchill: “Madam, you are ugly. In the morning, I shall be sober.”

Because CotR for a season or so you all loved him and was comparing him with every top forward/striker in the league (Rooney and Berbatov just two examples).

aren't you even going to bother editing one of COTR's old quotes to make it say Kuyt > Rooney? Go on, you could make it a sig and totally pwn him

a season would be one game in my case

His debut is the only game I have ever thought he has played well for us when not on a windup

He can f@ck off back to holland or form a magical partnership with smith next season

I never made that up. Who told you that?

Or have you been hacking the board again?

We'll take that as an admittance of guilt shall we Spanko

I never even touched this!

Kuyt just shades it for me purely on workrate but id be happy with either of others

No irony in it either.

which ones did you touch?

Teamspirit won't want reminding of this.

Kuyt the Mark Hughes of the New Millenium. He's got a lot more to him than just "work-rate". He's the all-round forward that Gerrard (and hopefully) Bellamy will thrive off. He can beat up a back-line and see a pass, and is a decent, if not lethal finisher, but his all round games makes up for that.

Kuyt had a decent first season, there's no shame in anyone who rated him. He hasn't clicked with Torres in the way he was starting to with Bellemy, addd to that his private difficulties and our receding backline he's been poor this season. Long term I'd still keep him but he's a bit of a Fletcher, lots of nothing.

The guy who posts the most about Kuyt working hard actually originally mocked this view. You couldn't make it up

Who could have predicted this thread would end up like this?



Inferiority complexes everywhere.

At least you have just finally admitted to editing the torres quote



There was no way I was backing down on a Liverpool player after just a few months last year. He was never voronin or Lucas $h!t

Haha that's awesome lrd


There is an unlimited pot of gold in those old threads for anyone who could be arsed finding it. That kuyt , martins thread was hilarious to read again a year on


Bring back obi / lrd

You did used to slag off Torres to be fair though COTR..I remember us both doing it in the same thread. One of Nutters many many many TORRES THE REDBLOOD threads.

Im using a nutters thread and the clear backing of EMPortuguese's thumbs.

Deal with that mofo.

The majority of the Liverpool fans were pessimistic about Torres' move to be fair.
