The TTO: Rio Ferdinand v Alan Smith

We’re pitting two of our favourite footie “bad boys” against each other in this week’s Thursday Thigh Off.

Both Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United) and Newcastle’s Alan Smith tend to inspire rather extreme reactions of love / hate from our readers, so let’s see whose thighs can come up trumps this week. Remember: judge only the thighs, yest ye be cat-scratched in the comments section for unnecessary thighcism.

Make your case for the better legs in the comments section; may the best quads win.

Congrats to last week’s winner, Alex Pato who beat out Nemanja Vidic for the victory. Never fear, Vida, there are many (many) Kickettes who would be happy to nurse your ego back to health. At least twice.

If you're not able to see our new comment box above, (best viewed in Firefox), you can leave your thoughts old-school style below.

both started at leeds united :D best team eva!!

but id have to say alan smith

I can’t comment in the new section for some reason, so I’m down here old style!

These were two nice thigh shaped suprises!! I’m going with Alan Smith. The last picture doesn’t do the same justice as the others, so I’m putting it down to a bad angle.

Note: My vote for Smithy has nothing to do with Rio being a Manc, this is purely on the thighs!!

Posted by LynxKitten on 07/17 at 02:13 PM

Yeah, what’s wrong with the other comment system?

Alan Smith! Never been a huge fan of Rio for some reason.

Posted by Pavi on 07/17 at 02:14 PM

I’m going with Alan Smith on this one!!

Posted by aristeia on 07/17 at 02:25 PM

Bummer, new comment section isn’t coming up for me. Anyway—Alan Smith! Yummers!

Posted by Kandi Kane on 07/17 at 02:27 PM

Posted by c9 on 07/17 at 02:43 PM

Alan Smith 4 sure!!! I like Rio but Alan is just HOT

Posted by ike on 07/17 at 03:53 PM

neither.

Posted by Patty-USA on 07/17 at 03:53 PM

I’m gonna have to go w/ Alan, ladies. Not a big fan of his, but I have always thought Rio to be a bit on the ‘too skinny to squeeze’ side

Posted by leenah9torres on 07/17 at 03:53 PM

defo alan smith! he’s a beauty! n he’s got really nice legs!!! mwah!

Posted by Jo on 07/17 at 04:10 PM

Rio for me, thank you. I can’t believe that Vida lost out to the Duck.

I’m stuck in the old format as well.

Posted by Katie on 07/17 at 04:46 PM

Defo Smithy !! Smudge !!
I love him and his thighs (especially) !!
Aww love the pic with becks

Posted by carly on 07/17 at 05:00 PM

Bloody hell, all afternoon trying to comment on this thing. Grrr

If this is a thigh competition, I’ll have to vote for Rio. look at that picture no.3 8)

Posted by lutscher on 07/17 at 05:57 PM

definately Smudge!!!

Posted by c9 on 07/17 at 06:08 PM

Can’t believe I still can’t post up top, anyhow. Pic #3 says it all. Look at that definition whilst up in the air, just like my Cris! Go RIO!

Posted by Jo on 07/17 at 06:12 PM

Shocked and appalled that Vidic was beaten. Recount?

Despite defecting to Newcastle, Smudge is definitely superior of thigh.

Posted by Kate on 07/17 at 06:30 PM

On an unrelated note, I MISS IKER.

Posted by FootballerChick43 on 07/17 at 06:46 PM

Gonna have to go for Smudge (Smith).

Not a big fan of either of them, though.

Posted by Liz on 07/17 at 06:47 PM

Definately Smith, But he has far better pictures than these too, his thighs are gorgeous. As is the rest of him.

Ive Never been a fan of Rio or his body, he seems really slim.

Posted by RedGirl (Mrs. Casillas) on 07/17 at 06:54 PM

Why can’t I comment up there?

Anyway, my vote goes to Alan Smith… Very good thighs!

Posted by FirstTeamCoach on 07/17 at 07:06 PM

I’m united through and through and love Rio to bits but sorry - it has to be Smudge for me. Still have massive soft touch for the Yorkshire bad boy.

Posted by Johnna on 07/17 at 08:24 PM

Smudger.

Posted by ChrissyD on 07/17 at 08:32 PM

has to be rio!

Posted by wanniemelon on 07/17 at 08:33 PM

i vote for jason bently in the second pic.

okay, alan smith.

Posted by TammyV on 07/17 at 09:52 PM

Me too MXA.. I can edit posts but not post myself? Hmmm…. odd

Posted by Emily (Giggsy's Gal) on 07/17 at 09:57 PM

Hmmm… I’m just hoping that our votes will be remembered down here in the old comments section when it comes time to tally the votes! Don’t forget us, Mesdames Kickette!!!!

I’m so pleased to see two boys that I love in the TTO!! Bless him, I think I was one of the few who loved Smudge when he was at OT, and since Magpies are my #2 team right behind Man Utd, I’m still allowed to like him.

Based on the thighs in the photos, my vote goes to RIO FERDINAND (soon-to-be captain of England, I would like to add). Thighs of thunder but still lean and nicely defined. Especially in Photo #3. Doesn’t hurt that his sexy thigh is bashing in the head of a Chelsuck player (and wanker Joe Cole, to boot!!!! LOL).

Rio, Rio, Rio, Rio, Rio!!!

P.S. Dude, that’s total balls that Pato won the TTO last week. I want a recount. By how many votes did he beat Vida?

Posted by freddiegirl on 07/18 at 01:18 AM

No contest…Smithy boy!

Posted by Pink Panther on 07/18 at 03:24 AM

Rio FTW, please.

Posted by Deanna on 07/18 at 12:06 PM

I can’t believe Vida lost! Truly, it’s totally inexplicable. Never mind, we all know that Alex Pato has nothing on our Vida.

For this one, well it’s kind of tough. Both are great, but I’ll vote for Rio. I think I prefer the leaner look. Sorry Smudge, but I think Rio has the hotter thighs!

Posted by Stephanie on 07/18 at 12:40 PM

It won’t let me comment properly????

anyways i’m gonna have to go with alan

Posted by 10antiohos on 07/18 at 02:00 PM

Alan Smith

Posted by Tawney on 07/18 at 04:31 PM

SMUDGER!!!! Yummm…

Posted by AJ on 07/18 at 04:55 PM

I’ve been waiting for the comment section above to sort itself out but it doesn’t look like that’s gonna happen for me so….RIO!

I like thick thighs, normally, but his are so deliciously long and lean.

Sorry Smudge.

Posted by HoneyBee on 07/18 at 05:22 PM

Vote-Rio!These two are not among my favorite players or thighs but Rio at least sometimes looks attractive to me.

Posted by Gigi Neville-Brown on 07/18 at 09:06 PM

Rio, because I lurve him, and because Smudge is ex-United, not that it was necessarily his choice to go.

Posted by Gigi Neville-Brown on 07/18 at 09:15 PM

PS Glad that the new way is acting up, cause I like the old way sooo much better.

PPS Vidic wins hands down in my book. Obviously.

PPPS I’m back ladies, did ya miss me?

Posted by AJ on 07/18 at 10:41 PM

I hope this works. I’ve been trying on the new and old section since yesterday!

Rio!

Sorry Smudge.

Posted by ManchesterUnitedAlways on 07/18 at 10:58 PM

I’m voting for Rio!

Posted by Rio's Girl on 07/18 at 11:02 PM

Obviously, my vote goes to my future husband Rio Ferdinand. He is so darn fine… Yummmmmmmy!!!

I LOVE RIO AND HIS SEXY THIGHS!!!

Posted by ^^K^^ on 07/19 at 05:15 AM

Rio’s thighs do it for me :D

Posted by I on 07/19 at 01:19 PM

I waited for this for so long… RIO RIO RIO!

Posted by Liz on 07/19 at 02:15 PM

I prefer it this way.

Posted by Becca x on 07/20 at 02:38 PM

Alan Smith.
No Compotition There For Me.
