Stephen Ireland

When they finished he asked how much they still had to raise and they told him £85 - so he gave them the lot and off they went!

They shouldn't have been allowed to buy a dog with money they didn't earn organically. Wouldn't be surprised if the grandad paid most of the money to Stephen Ireland to pass on to the lads. It's probably all in an email somewhere.

You said ‘all tourist areas are rife with pickpockets’. It matters not one jot where you are in the world’

No arguments pickpockets operate around the globe, but it does matter where you are as the incidence and likelihood of being a victim varies dependent on your location.

Put it this way I would be more cautious on Las Ramblas rather than at Salisbury or Winchester Cathedral.

Those sound like 2 great holidays, Frank.

Ireland was one of the best players on the pitch during Vinny’s testimonial match.

lol

Has his grandad died again

I gave the wife a 50 Euro note outside a bar in a side street just off La Rambla so that she could browse the shops while I had a beer. Off she went and I went in the bar and ordered said beer. Before it had been poured the wife was back, " that 50 Euro note has been taken out of my bag" less than 2 minutes after I gave it her !!!

Mate my wife can spend it before she leaves the house don’t believe a word women say

It certainly is. You could actually do both in one holiday, chuck in the New Forest, Stonehenge and the Jurassic coast all within striking distance. I do love this country.

On the other hand, there's not a lot of Novichok at Las Ramblas; probably more reason to be cautious...

On reflection I should have stuck with Winchester. Lol

This story is about as believable as Ireland’s other fabricated stories over the years. All this Superman crap etc. There’s a reason why he didn’t make it at City. He was simply not good enough and attitude was all wrong. Doing it on Thursday night against Danish part-timers is one thing. There’s a reason why Silva and Kun have survived 10 and 9 years at City respectively. They’re supremely talented footballers with the right attitude. Ireland was neither.

Ireland slotted in perfectly with Elano and Robinho, it doesn't matter what anybody thinks that few months under Sven before it went sour was a brilliant time, ultimately it went pear shaped and not sure what effect the alleged bullying about his hair and what part Dunne played in all of that but he never seemed to recover from that and it was a sharp decline.

A shame as he put up some quality moments on the pitch.

That said, the Haunch of Venison trumps the Wykeham Arms - just!
