Stephen Ireland

[Eccles Blue]

I am not bothered these days about Stevie Ireland one way or another apart from saying:

Who took the photo? It is obviously in his home so how come it got online? If it was taken by a 'friend' he has a very poor taste in friends or his friends are taking him for a ride!! If it was taken for a magazine/newspaper interview he has sunk even lower than I ever imagined he could.

If it was not taken for publicity purposes then I feel very, very sorry for him. He needs to wake up to the fact that he or someone else is making even more of a laughing stock of him than has been done already.

He used to be known as our Superman and, at that time, I admired him but boy how have the 'mighty' fallen!!!

I feel so sorry for him.

Its all his own doing but nonetheless he could have been David Silva and thats sad that he's never going to be the person he was meant to be.He'll have one season of memories to look back on when he retires.Part of me would hope Wenger would take him and try rekindle that spark and great passing ability.

IRELAND IS A WANKER AND A SHIT FOOTBALLER TO BOOT.

He had the potential to be a very good player, but his head got in the way.

Stephen Ireland is similar to a number of players who have left the club under Mancini, they all prefer to blame others for their own form and conduct rather than look at themselves. Ade wants to be loved, Robinho wants to be in Brazil, Ireland wants to be played in his chosen position, Tevez wants everything and a little more.

As a player he flickered brightly at times and possessed fantastic ability but he wasnt prepared to play within the structure of the team and take responsibility on the field of play to benefit the team. This was evident in the derby where he showed no interest in getting involved, evidenced by his marking of Scholes for the goal. How can a manager trust such a player?

The comparison with Milner is an interesting one. Milner has less natural ability yet is still twice the player and has had the career to reflect that. He believes in the ethos of the team and understands his responsibility on the football pitch, Ireland prefers to be "involved" in the bits he enjoys, without doing the neccessary dirty work all top players are required to do. Its awaful to say it but you look at Rooneys contribution on a football pitch, he hits twenty goals a season, is the crerative hub of the team yet still he works incredibly hard for the team, Ireland is the exact opposite to Milner and Rooney in this respect.

great post frank, its obvious to see that we got the better deal with jimmy coming to us and irelands very own living legend going to villa.
