Stephen Ireland

[andrew08]

He seems to be one of those players who actually don't like football. Secure in a long term contract, with his life sorted until the day he dies financially.

More fool us for letting him get away with it. I can't think of a single game changing moment since he's been at the club.

Just another example of a shit for brains overpaid numpty footballer for me..

Thanks for destroying any love of the game I had.

I feel exactly the same...perhaps a year (eternal optimist) in the Championship might renew our faith

[oldtimernow]

I first cried at a Villa match when I heard the score rung through from the Hawthorns in '59 to say that the Baggies had equalised in the last minute......I refuse to follow that again for the current load of rubbish.

If we go down it will be the fault of all the prima donnas we've had in recent years....hang your collective heads in shame but hey will any of them give a shit......like F they will, so long as they can spend their days playing video games and spending their ill gotten gains on fast cars and other expensive toys.........and breathe....my blood pressure doesn't need this

[N'ZMAV]

Average player. Big Ego. Big Wages. Little contribution.

[rob_bridge]

He is laughing at us all.

Taking a fortune out of our pockets every week....and simply laughing at us

Indeed he does - he can afford to and may do each and every day for the rest of his life.

Don't worry he will actually create a goal or score when he's in the championship next year.

Was his player of the season award a pisstake along the lines of Boateng getting goal of the season one year when he hadn't scored? Serious question.

The club win back some favour from me by telling this jizz-bucket never to darken our door again.

[Zakk Fatt]

He has the talent but not the will.  Oxygen thief. Just one in a long line that have sucked the life out of Villa.

Too true.

He makes Nigel Callaghan look like Mo Farrah.

 After 5 mins yday i thought he did'nt look fit, and he did nothing to change my mind in the final 85 mins.

 Sums up Villa for me, on paper should be up in the top echelons of the Prem, but lacks something that makes him/us greatly under-achieving.

Perfect summary. And he is fully fit, just the laziest pisstaker ever seen.

[Tucson Villain]

He just goes through the motions to pick up his cheque.

[nickataylor2000]

Ireland is a grossly overpaid, gutless, lazy, useless, couldnt care less piece of shite. £8,000 per day! Shoot the bastard to get him off the wagebill.

[SoccerHQ]

Thought he was pretty good for the first hour and then like the rest of the team just ran out of ideas.

He's the missing piece in a good team who have a solid midfield, quality wingers and just need someone who doesn't tackle much or do any defensive work but plays in the lines between midfield and attack. Would probably flourish at Everton but can't see it working for him here.

Was the missing link in an MON team along with Bent although not really MON's sort of midfield player but he does seem to tolerate Sessegnon up there.

What's clear are these sort can't really be relied on to fight a relegation battle, I really don't want Ireland starting many more games now between now and May.
