Sorrily this will continue as long as we have KK as the manager. He so lost in terms of modern football and talks alot of nonsense. And the appointment of a non-commited, always injured and almost past it Owen as skipper is just the icing on the cake. I seriously asked myself yesterday why I still support this team. I don't live in Newcastle, so doesn't "have" to be my team. I began following NFC when KK came there are a player, and kept my interest because of the fine football on display from then and up until Robson got the sack. Since then, I have tried to at least enjoy the footballing qualities of certain good players with a heart(Shearer, Solano, Parker etc) but now nothing is left. Except maybe N´zogbia, Milner and Taylor. Oh dear... Catastrophy! Sorrily this will continue as long as we have KK as the manager. He so lost in terms of modern football and talks alot of nonsense.

Its depressing because Newcastle are in no way seeing the real Alan Smith. He's a great character and nothing like the on pitch persona off the pitch, anyone who's met him enough times as I have will tell you that. I'm as much disappointed for him as I am for the Newcastle fans who are feeling like what a waste of money. Its characters like Smudger that makes the greedy world of football a bit more real and I don't think for one minute he'll be going home at night thinking oh well I've got another 50 or 60k in the bank for that rubbish performance. Ferguson destroyed his confidence. Now we're just waiting for the final rites on his career unless a miracle happens.
