I'm enjoying reading the Smith debate. Totally agree with Ian. You can argue all day about the history of players that have moved between the clubs etc etc but it astounds me that some people can't understand hatred between teams and fans and think that it's acceptable for a Leeds lad to claim

Don't usually agree with you Rich, but on this (including the beers wine) I do. Ferdinand (a better player) going to scum not as bad as Smith going. I think Ferguson gets it a lot better than a lot of fans, and enjoys the rivalry as much as we do. Sent from my iPhone On 11 Jun 2011, at

Pretty much. 2/3 of Snoddy's shots were from outside the box. Half of those were on target. 3 went in. Becchio only tried 9 times from outside, and missed all but one. Johnson had 32 shots from outside the box, of which a quarter were on target. Meanwhile, Mad Max tried 45 times and got 1/2 on

Just for the record, whichever player it was was on £4000, the club offered £7000 which is almost double the current salary and only when the agent asked for £11000, almost treble, was he told to get stuffed. Is anybody on the list going to double their salary this year, let alone treble it?
