Oaks Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Short term memories.... I wish him luck. He was player of the year at Villa, 2011-2012. Did not work out with Lambert, but might do well with Hughes. He had about 3 decent games for us, his player of the year award was a pisstake and more of a slap in the face of McLeish.

Did not work out with Lambert, but might do well with Hughes. Short term memories? That would imply that he was once something resembling a good player for us. I still don't know how he won that award. It wasn't a case of him upping his game that season, everyone else just got dragged down under McDoom. I think he had upped his game a little. Problem is his game was still piss poor, it had just been so bad before that everyone was a bit shocked and confused by his apparent ability to walk on to the pitch and identify the football. Add to that we were playing the most boring football ever conceived, badly, and the fact that some one remember Ireland once managed to pass the ball forward and I think people were just confused into thinking he was our best player.

Rob182 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I haven't read or heard anything he may have said when he signed for them but I don't have to. I just know it will be the absolute same shite he spouted when he arrived here and when he pitched up at the barcodes. Unlike some on here, I don't wish him good luck. Are you **** serious? How much luck does a borderline-retard absolute word removed deserve in this life? He is an oxygen thief who has had a streak of winning the lottery jackpot every year for the last six years. Good luck? **** off. The luck I wish him for the future differs somewhat. I wish him naught but ill fortune from hereon in. The little rat is one of those victim mentality scrotes whose own attitude and behaviour causes their problems but who lack the self-awareness and intelligence to realise it. Worse still, when anyone tries to point out the issue they will whinge that they are being "picked on" or "disrespected" and other such indulgent shite. So, "Stevie", have a terrible year at Stoke, get bombed out of there and become one of football's pariahs, rapidly frittering your way through your fraudulently acquired millions. You word removed.

momo Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I don't understand. if we had used our best midfield combo of Ireland and Bannan as the 2 central midfield players, we wouldn't have been in the mess we were in last season... just my opinion...

Genie Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 There is a very good player in there. Problem is he got a huge contract too young and then lost all desire to work hard (imo).Whether he gets it back remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there isn't he's been rubbish for 90% of his career, I'm pretty tired of people bringing up 12 months of football when he's 27 and hasn't done anything of note for 5 years and 5 managers have failed to recapture that firm. He's been found out. He hasn't got the ability and focus to progress his game and he never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
