To all those saying Milner is average/shit/one season wonder, what about Ireland? Yes Milner's just had his best season, but even before last season in the season's where he showed potential and matured as a player, he still looked better than Ireland bar 08/09. Ireland was average in 05/06, again in 06/07 bar one or two performances, again in 07/08 under Sven bar one or two performances, superb 98 per cent of the time in 08/09 and horse shit last season. At least Milner has never truly gone off at the boil at any point in his career, he's gone about his business quietly and become a better player season by season. Theres a reason why Villa payed 12m for him (then again they did pay 6m for Dunne, lol).
