If anyone was anonymous it was Stevie Ireland, not De Jong or Barry. I think the writing is on the wall for Ireland.

What books are these then, I must have a dodgy copy, they obviously sit in waterstones filed under fiction!!! And if thats Viera winning the midfield battle then jesus Christ we are in trouble!! Youre right about Ireland, I remember seeing him at the back end of last season I think but since then hes been like the fans of the invisible man!!!C_T_I_D said:Are you for real?
