ALAN Smith has expressed his gratitude for the swift and largely sympathetic reaction from everyone at Anfield after he suffered a season-ending injury.
Agent Alex Black said: "He was a bit delirious as he was coming off but he was able to recognise that a lot of the Liverpool fans were giving him a good round of applause. He just wants to say thank you to everybody for that."

so up yours to those on this board who tar liverpool fans with such malice ... albeit from sour grape tongues.
