Never rated smith the first time he was here. As for narrow minded he knew the consequences if he went to the scum

He did but you could argue he got the best deal for the club, as Man U were reportedly the only club to be offering the cash upfront, which we badly needed. Not saying I was happy when he went but happen he put the performances and effort in for us should he join, I would support him.

Will settle for a repeat of this tomorrow Allan Clarke will always be a hero to me and my group of mates if only for the way that he treated one of our gang at a night match at Elland Rd two years ago. Our friend was liberated from Wheatfields in a wheelchair taxi just two weeks before he died and taken to a private box that belonged to someone we knew, Clarkey was doing the rounds of the hospitality boxes that night and someone briefed him on our mate, he walked into the box and greeted him like an old friend, ignored everyone else and sat and chatted to him for the whole of the first half, he didn't know just how much that meant to our friend because Allan Clarke was his favourite player of the Revie days, he talked about that night right up to the last time we saw him alive a fortnight later.

Arsenal Team for tomorrow: Szczesny, Eboue, Squillaci, Djourou, Gibbs, Eastmond, Denilson, Rosicky, Arshavin, Chamakh, Bendtner, Fabianski, Vela, Walcott, Ramsey, Henderson, Ignasi.

I'm not expecting a win or draw at all tomorrow but hope it isn't a complete thrashing. Gonna say 2-0 to them. Lets just concentrate on the play off spot. Think the scum and spurs games last season derailed us and had the league gone on for an extra game or 2 we'd probably still be stuck in that league!

hope we can score a goal for the fans lucky enough to have got a ticket if we do score and first we can get a replay at least,if arsenal score first it could be a drubbing for us.

good luck lads enjoy it and do us proud both on and off the field.

Some Newcastle fans view on Smith Don't know how representative that is of the feeling towards him up there and how he has performed for them. FWIW I wouldn't have him back, don't think he's good enough in midfield as he's not a great passer of the ball or tackler. He runs round loads, does a few sliding tackles, waves his arms about and gets plenty of bookings but Andy Hughes already does all that.

Sounds like he has quite the fanbase up there He was a poor mans Kevin Davies when he was with us anyway, does he even know what his favoured position on a football field is? He's only playing midfield now cos Fergie tried turning him into something he's not!

Smith to Leeds + cash with Gradel going in the opposite direction.

Re: OT - All New Leeds United thread : Sat Jan 08, 2011 12:33 am  

He's on 60k a week??
If he wants anymore than 1/10th of that he can talk the long walk.
I thought he did a decent job at Newcastle in the Championship, but I didn't see many of their games. I had not considered the fact that his football ability might not be good enough. Those geordies really are big fans!
