What did he say about McLeish? He played well for 4-5 games under him at least (although him winning POTY certainly summed up the state).

I actually rated him at Man. City and was pretty happy when we got him in. He certainly couldn't replace Milner but I thought a 4-2-3-1 with Petrov and NRC infront of back 4 and him with Young and Downing either side would be good to watch. Instead we moved Young centrally which didn't really work.

He's making the O'Neill stuff up btw.....given Milner played and scored in the first game of the season under Kevin McDonald. Unless he was in a hotel room with SSN being on a two week loop. Milner deal to Man. City went through 10 days after MON went anyway.

Stephen Ireland is a spoofer. Diabolical professional to boot, remember him in particular not trying a leg v Bradford. I guess that was someone else's fault too.

Hiding in plain sight against Bradford. Standing there, 'asking' for the ball, but always positioning himself so there was a Bradford player between himself and the man in possession. Shameless wastrel.

That's a fact.

He had his moments, which were few and far between.

Being forced into joining us in 2010 showed just how much Man City wanted rid of his shit. I imagine he was massively fucked off. And while it wasn’t all his fault that year was the start of the massive nosedive we ultimately experienced.

Stephen Ireland "didn't want to be at Aston Villa at all" after leaving Manchester City for Villa Park back in 2010.

In these fractured times it's nice when all sides can all unite behind something that everyone agrees upon, and find consensus.

What a massive toe rag he was. Winning the POTY award for one fucking performance away at Chelsea in that turd of a McLeish season. I’d forgotten how bad 11/12 was until this bought it all back. And he can stick his Pimped up Range Rover up his arse as well. ****.
