I may now be a Magpie

So Alan Smith may sign for Newcastle. When he left Leeds as they left the Premiership I said I would support whichever club he went to with one exception. So following Murphy's Law he went to the one club I shall always execrate. Now he is leaving the Red Devils I may again show interest in a premiership club. I tried to enthuse over Spurs with their former Leeds men and a Christian from Korea but I really have no passion for London clubs, especially when some are hard put to field even one Englishman. Arsenal are a French team, or rather French Africa. Smith though is a Yorkshire Terrier of a footballer, the sort of dog who is very snappy and irritating to people.
