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, lest 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.
Good post, I can’t say that I agree with everything that was said, but very good information overall:)
Alan Smith!
Erin, wasn’t it you that said last week that you were allergic to voting for a United player? At least stick to your principles. LOL! That I could respect. But thanks for the vote for Rio: shows that despite your team affiliation, you have some modicum of taste.
Smithy all the way….
Not really that convinced by either but I'll go with Smith
Easy peasy…Rio!!!!!!!!!! Alan Smith makes me want to hurl. lose that girl blog
Rio! x

Smudge. I looked at the pictures first, I swear.
Rio.
Pato won!? yay! I shall change my wallpaper to him right now.
it’s ok vidic, you know you’ve got the thighs- it just wasn’t your thursday.
He definately has! <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/tongue_wink.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="tongue wink" style="border:0;" />
Alan Smith.
No Compotition There For Me.
And Hes Got The Face To Match
Rio’s thighs do it for me
I prefer it this way.
I waited for this for so long… RIO RIO RIO!
It won’t let me comment properly????
anyways i’m gonna have to go with alan
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!
Obviously, my vote goes to my future husband Rio Ferdinand. He is so darn fine… Yummmmmmmy!!!
I LOVE RIO AND HIS SEXY THIGHS!!! <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="wink" style="border:0;" />
I’m voting for Rio!
I hope this works. I’ve been trying on the new and old section since yesterday!
Rio!
Sorry Smudge.
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?
Rio, because I lurve him, and because Smudge is ex-United, not that it was necessarily his choice to go.
Vote-Rio!These two are not among my favorite players or thighs but Rio at least sometimes looks attractive to me.
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.
SMUDGER!!!! Yummm…
Rio FTW, please.
Alan Smith
No contest…Smithy boy!
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!!!! <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;" />
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!!! <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;" />
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?
Me too MXA.. I can edit posts but not post myself? Hmmm…. odd
i vote for jason bently in the second pic.
okay, alan smith.
has to be rio!
Smudger.
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.
Why can’t I comment up there?
Anyway, my vote goes to Alan Smith… Very good thighs!
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.
Gonna have to go for Smudge (Smith).
Not a big fan of either of them, though.
On an unrelated note, I MISS IKER.
Shocked and appalled that Vidic was beaten. Recount?
Despite defecting to Newcastle, Smudge is definitely superior of thigh.
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!
definately Smudge!!!
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
Defo Smithy !! Smudge !!
I love him and his thighs (especially) !!
Aww love the pic with becks <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;" />
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.
defo alan smith! he’s a beauty! n he’s got really nice legs!!! mwah!
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 <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/shade_smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="cool smile" style="border:0;" />
neither.
Alan Smith 4 sure!!! I like Rio but Alan is just HOT
Okay, how come I can’t post a comment above!!!!!!! Anywho, that is total bulls###, Vida should have won that!
Don’t worry TFO I’ve got your back, RIO for the win, all the way baby!!!!!!!!
RIO, RIO, RIO, RIO, RIO <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="wink" style="border:0;" />
Alan Smith.
Bummer, new comment section isn’t coming up for me. Anyway—Alan Smith! Yummers!
I’m going with Alan Smith on this one!!
Yeah, what’s wrong with the other comment system?
Alan Smith!
Never been a huge fan of Rio for some reason.
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!!
both started at leeds united
best team eva!!
but id have to say alan smith
X
Pah. Pato. Clearly, there are too many Kickettes who nurse grudges against United. Today's TTO: Rio of course. And that's on the basis of the thighs alone. But why bother even voting?
it's not right at all, you getting me to vote against my fave emo…so i go with rio, cuz even though alan has better muscles it's like there's something wrong there
definitely alan
Hmmm difficult one! Im not that moved by either really (thighs or player) but if pushed Id go for Alan Smith just on muscle definition!
Ooh, hard one, but I'm gonna go with Smudge. Rio's are fine but a bit on the lean machine side. Yep, put me down for Alan Smith.
ferdinand both cute though but alan left united he aint that good a player
hmmm… david bentley! hahah
Ooh, hard one, but I’m gonna go with Smudge. Rio’s are fine but a bit on the lean machine side. Yep, put me down for Alan Smith.
Wow. Teach me to make a sarcastic joke around here. It gets thrown back as biblical truth! Never mind, it would seem pointless to engage in this dialogue.
Pshaw, TFO. Let’s be real and leave out righteous indignation. LOL! United grudge? How about the fact that Pato had excellent thighs! In fact, while both of these sets of thighs today are quite impressive, my vote goes to Rio. His are longer and leaner.
