Very true!

It's not the aggressiveness that's the problem , it's the silly things that she does to get herself booked. The only reasons she got that extra booking in the Uefa Cup s/f was because she made rude gesture to the opposing fans.

What annoys me is that I did not see that gesture at the game.
I still wonder if she really did it?

Vic seemed to think she did as he commented on it.

At the end of the day, we still won the trophy with a much more defensive display in the two final games
so no real harm there and she got a medal.

Too right!

And thats what makes kelly kelly!

To me it just shows her passion in the game, its not as if she intends to get bookings or sent off, I think she just gets caught up in the football.

When is Kelly back from injury?

She was supposed to be out for a month, I believe.

She played for England at Shrewsbury, but not for Arsenal at Everton on 2nd Dec - so, hope she'll be back early in new year

I hope she's back early 2008

I must admit much as I like kelly she can be silly with her actions I know at the france game in Blackburn she was leaving her leg trailing in tackles at the end of the game and I was cringing but it is part of her game and her as a player.

I was at that game, and don't remember those

towards the end of the game it looked to me like she was leaving her leg trailing I'm far from an expert at sport (as people away from here so gladly seem to point out) so I may be wrong (the last part of this isn't a dig at your tmwcat or anyone else on here but the way people treat my like of the women's game has made me think I'm best not talking or posting anywhere or anything)

Onto Kelly I didn't manage to spot her with the other girls though I'm sure she was there at sports personaility tonight.

And why wasn't she on the short list?

It seems that an athlete who missed 3 drug tests can get on it

I agree twmcat it annoyed me to put it mildly how the women's game got over looked

Another point about kelly I have always found her very polite when she see's me she always asks how I am and at leeds I asked her faye white was and she gave me a detailed explanation re her comeback.

Byrnefan don't listen to what other people say about you , there the ones that probably no nowt about the game , you know plenty , we all still love ya

Was Kelly sitting right at the end of the line on Sunday , I didn't know if it was her or Luds.

On question of sport on sunday they showed a clip of successful british female sports stars and they showed kelly smith at the world cup on it ! She was scoring then kissing her boots.

The week I don't tune in there's a clip

a link to an article about kelly

Thanks for posting that. I didn't recognize Faye in that picture.

I didn't know that Kelly once delivered the mail.

So is that 1st November 1995 she made her international debut?

If she delivered my post she'd get £10 at christmas would pay for a lot of sweets

Been a postie seems to be common with female footballers I know of vicky exley, rachel mcarthur and natalie preston who do that job

Back to the smith queen glad to see she'd back playing

What are you going to give her after her 30 yard goal tonight then

Uh?

Read Arsenal ladies' section

Kelly has some sweets in my room waiting until I get to a game which I bought her in the states at this rate I'll have been again and vic will see and make her share them out with her team mates

I've been looking for that article for ages, tried to find it for Agent Smith but no matter how much googling I did it just didn't appear Thanks Byrnefan


Am glad Kelly has recovered well and she got back to her ways
