You do know I was just quoting the article, geysir? Maybe you should write a complaint to The Mirror if it bothers you so much.Quote:

It's not always all about you TOWK. I'm happy he's back in favour and occasionally turning on the style, befitting a more skilful player.
In favour Pilkington and Hoolahan both left out of the squad for this afternoon's game with Man Utd which is 4-0 to Utd at the moment. They're (Norwich) reaping what they sow.
Be interesting to see where Pilkington and Hoolahan go in the summer. Surely Hoolahan will go to another Championship team at least. His relationship with the club seems to be beyond repair.
Seems to be a curious trend with the anti-Hoolahan Norwich fans where they pick holes in team performance and results with Hoolahan in the team and then when they invariably get outplayed and spanked when Hoolahan is left out, they believe "we are on the right track". They really seem to have a double standard with certain players and the stereotype of Hoolahan being small and not working hard enough seems to precede him.
It's peculiar because Norwich's results are better with Hoolahan in the team and only an idiot would waste him on the left-wing and expect him to run a game from there.
Norwich fans wondering if Pilkington is on the back of a milk carton:

Signing for Cardiff it seems.
So dropping down to the Championship.
From Norwich who will be playing in the.....Quote:

Why would he? He's chronically injured and out of favour.
And some people on here doubted that was really Irish.Quote:

Good to see him back in favour.
Starting today for Cardiff, Mason up front.
(Pilkington) only at Cardiff because he was out of favor at Norwich! Good to see him back in favor in new surroundings.
Sad to see Doyle being an unused substitute. I got the impression from the start that Russell Slade was ambivalent about him.
Only one appearance so far this season? Yesterday's man ?
ummm, what? http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Play...4&seasonID=145Quote:

Three goals for Pilkington today, unfortunately for him one was for Rotherham. 2-2 at the moment.
Another goal and man of the match display for Pilkington today.
Pilkington is on a great run of form at the moment. Hope Martin O Neill gives him a genuine opportunity in the upcoming frendlies, There is a real lack of options upfront and Pilkington deserves serious consideration.
made his 50th appearance for Cardiff last night.
he's not a striker though. has he been playing up front for Cardiff??Quote:

Wow. very interesting. thanks for the infoQuote:

Quick trivia question - before Pilkington's two penalties today, who was the last Irish player to score two penalties in the same game?
Hint - it's not Robbie Keane.
Did Hoolahan score two penalties that time he got a hat-trick for Norwich back in the Championship?
Adam Rooney?
Ian Harte ?Quote:

Tough one.
No, lot of people guessing Walters. Not him though.
He hasn't scored for Ireland either. Can't give any more hints after that
Madden?
I was thinking Madden, had it typed but deleted it, curse you if you have robbed me here CD, curse you.
No, not Madden. Good guess though.
