Stephen Birmingham (our Dublin Lions don't appreciate the correct one) is without doubt
a talented footballer, capable of dictating a game, creating for others and scoring goals

I watched him closely during the Chelsea match and he appeared to always want the
ball to feet but on numerous occasions was ignored, in particular by Downing.
Nothing much happened for him at Sunderland and it was no surprise that Houllier
subbed him -
Agree with the comment that return of Gabby could help the guy, as opposed to
a front man of Heskey or Carew
