I can't speak highly enough of Stevie Ireland. I've watched him since he was in the youth team, what a footballing brain and unbelievable vision, so different to the average work-horse premier league midfielder and I once feared that his star might never shine. Felt so sorry for him when his talent was severely wasted under pearce (No slant on Pearce it was just that Stevie had to do a job in a very limited team where his talent couldn't shine through). The way he's combined his improved physical state, hard graft and pure footballing talent is a pleasure to see. He should be a very a very proud lad. I don't like to kiss arse but this is thoroughly deserved. Blue2112 I hope you pass on these messages. Ta.
