Stephen Ireland: Loan to Newcastle confirmed

[Percy McCarthy]

Very talented footballer. Shame his head's gone. I hope he rediscovers his game and sanity at Newcastle, then Joey Barton stubs a cigar out in his ear at their end-of-season party.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Fuck him.

I said he was a mental prick not long after he'd joined and so it's proved.

Let's hope Pardew doesn't ask him to train too hard or to work at a particular midfield position, otherwise he'll throw his toys out of his pram and we'll end up having to have the ****** back.

Knee injury my arse.

Bye.

Essentially what I was trying to say, put much, much more eloquently!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Rumour has it we have to pay 50% of his wages to play at Newcastle. Now that is a piss take.

Not suprising really

Better than paying 100% of it and him staying here and doing fuck all as usual.

Not good Mark, but clearly Gerard would no longer use him under any circumstances, he is clearly one of the ones Houllier was refering to when he said he didn't want 'Miserable faces and moaning around the training ground.'

The "barcodes" should be an interesting bunch (in terms of abnormal psychology) with Ireland, Barton and Carrol.  Their parties would be a blast.  With all the money that we put into Ireland, I am surprised that more has not been done to try and help him mentally in terms of psychiatry.  I wonder if he has a substance abuse problem?

I'd prefer to see him training by himself for the next 4 years. He really is a twat.

[Dribbler]

I don't normally wish people ill will, but as someone else pointed out above, he represents the very worst aspect of the modern game. As such i hope he suffers a career ending injury, his wife divorces him and takes all his cash and he ends up having to get a job as a tea boy in a hairdresing salon just to make ends meet, just about all he deserves really. 

[darren woolley]

I think it is best to get rid of him it is obvious he does not wan't to be here let's hope he can make the move to the geordie boys permanent.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I don't wish him any ill will, but I hope his balls turn square and fester at the edges.

[Clark W Griswold]

Undoubtedly the biggest waste of time i've seen down there, worse than Callaghan even, who at least scored for us. Good riddance to the cretin.

[The Man With A Stick]

All the best, Stephen.  Break a leg, as they say.

Hopefully we put a clause in saying that he HAS to play against us.
