Love the list and the randomness that flows, the petty bickering, the opinions, the crazy curry house talk and Tetley Bitter scenario that I started. I am not a huge fan of who is scum and who is not, though I have an inbuilt hatred of the scum (but that's just jealousy). I heard many years ago that Alan Smith forego his 1 million leaving deal with Leeds when he went to Man Utd to help Leeds, maybe an urban myth? I also heard he was one of the most respected players with the young guys, eager to help with tips etc whilst kewell was an arrogant prick. I for one would welcome him back because he always gave and always did give 100% on the pitch. He was a centre forward but was prepared to play elsewhere for the team (whichever team). We need a goal scorer, we need a leader and we need a 'batty" in the team, Strachan and McAllister did it when past their prime, I think Smithy can do it again for us and we lacked that bite this season. How many yellow or red cards is an issue of course and if he is fit enough is another issue. Kilkenny and Snoddy are a loss for us IMO. Kisnorbo back is good, need to keep Schmeichal regardless of who his father played for. Long live footy and yer mad opinions, it's called democracy I believe? Andy
