Ireland hits out at Houllier and the City of Birmingham!

I've stood up for him and really wanted him to be given more of a chance here but if these quotes are true it's clear the guy has serious psychological issues.
One thing Stephen Ireland and Chris Smith both have in common - they both think Cork is a shithole. It's not though, I enjoyed my time in college there.

Well he is rich enough, I can't understand why he doesn't just buy a fully functioning brain. Or any brain for that matter.

Stupid boy, things can change in football. He might have come back to BH in July with a new manager on board. I'd say he's pretty much burnt his bridges now. Can't think of many UK cities that would rival Los Angeles (unless he means Compton) so I dunno what he's going to make of Newcastle.

Stephen Ireland, you're a useless, self-absorbed, childish, petulant, idiotic, ungrateful, thick, disgusting, overpaid, cosseted, pathetic, disrespectful, mad ******.

I didn't really say that, it's been blown all out of proportion so it looks harsh, it's not really what I would say.

Steady on, Jimbo....that's a bit strong!  I wouldn't call him cosseted.

[Bad English]

I'd watch it Roger! Ireland might well be your new 'neighbor' in a few months time

[Villafirst]

What a complete wanker!! Self obsessed deluded little prick! Ugly shit to boot. Sack the little jerk NOW!

Waste of space -

My abiding memory of him will be picking up an injury during pre-match
warm up at Villa Park (Everton) ..........to this day I still reckon he faked it

Just a perfect day,

Played Fifa 2011 all by myself.

In HD, I pretended I was someone else,

Someone good.
