People say that every week, 'that game would have been ideal for Ireland', yet when he's plays, he's crap. He's played against worse teams than Spurs and made little impact, and more than likely, wouldnt have made the slightest bit of difference today. The last thing we'd have needed was a player that can't be bothered when things aint going his way. Don't play him again, get rid!
No, the last thing we needed today was Pires. Ireland hasn't been great for us yet, but he's been better than that useless turd every time he stinks up the pitch in a Villa shirt.
Pires is not any better no, but we wouldn't have done any better with Ireland in team today. He's not interested in playing for us, his poor performances when given a chance, have shown that, complete lack of effort. There are plenty of others i'd rather see selected than Ireland, and Pires. I don't want Ireland's selection hindering the development of players that do want to play for the club and do have some promise, such as Bannan, Hogg, Delph, Clark etc, aswell as some of the more established players like Reo-Coker and Petrov. Sooner this guy leaves, the better.
