I don't think it's that bad a show tbh. The one last night with the former England Internationals was good too.... Now if you'll excuse me I've a "Loose Women" on Sky + to watch.

i watched it the other night and i thought she came across well, looking past the chav house etc she seemed like a decent nice person which greatly surprised me given what we know of stephen ireland's character.

the only one that seemed obnoxious to me was cisse's wife. rotten looking thing too. if crouchie can pull a good looking chick what the hell was cisse doing wrong?

i must confess i actually watch come dine with me occasionally and find it a good show too!

According to a British paper I read this am, Everton are interested in the Leprechaun but might not be able to afford the asking price.

One paper a couple of weeks ago said Arsenal are tracking the ****

I think he'll end up at Sunderland myself. He is a hard player to judge, not really a central midfielder, at least not when it comes to tackling/dispossessing the opposition, and he's not really a winger either.

I imagine he'll probably decide in the end that he never wanted to leave Manchester City and dedicate himself to the club for life and then do it all again next summer.

If Arsenal sell Fabregas, and they pick up Ireland for 8-12 million, it could be a very good value move. They're similar sorts of players, and I think Ireland would really thrive in a Wenger side.

Some may say he's not as good as Fabregas, but during the season before last there was no difference between them.

Most would say it!

He's good.....but he's not that good.

His talent warrants a move to a club of a higher stature than Sunderland.

As I say, I wouldn't take him over Fabregas, but if you're looking for a replacement, if 2008/09 was any indication, he's got that sort of potential and would surely come at a good price.

Stephen Ireland is no Fabregas! Let's get real here fellas. A club like Sunderland or Fulham is more his level.

**Acornvilla** · 26/06/2010, 2:27 PM

in all fairness if he wasn't such an arse you would all be gay for him and say hes as good as messi

This somes up your knowledge of football, sunderland can dream on, and you with them

**Colbert Report** · 29/06/2010, 12:52 AM

Anything is better than riding the bench for the the entire season as he'd be likely to do at City.

**Charlie Darwin** · 29/06/2010, 1:01 AM

Well at the moment he's a headcase regardless of what club he's at and dropping down a level isn't necessarily going to get him more games. Mancini has said that there's a place for him if he sorts his mental state out but it's a big if.

Sunderland also wouldnt be the worst of moves either

You need to lay off the crack

What has he exposed to Mancini for Mancini to come out and say that he needs his mental state sorted ?
