4 irish starting today, and they are currently beating the top 4 side, therefore should ireland be among the top 4 in europe?!
On a serious note, when was the last time a club had four irish starting in the game? and also beating a team in the top 4 team
good to see doyle got this shot on target.
Can't you do a simple search for the Wolves' thread?
How hard can it be?
Really Paul, you are such a disappointment at times :)
when yer working on a Saturday - it becomes hard. "Times" are in short supply.... ;)
Doyle and Foley outstanding today. Hunt very good in first half but tired (understandably). Ward not quite good enough for me. I believe Doyle has been carrying an injury for most of the season but today he was in terrific form. Caused the City defense all types of problems. Foley has to be a serious contender for us now at right back. I thought his overall play today was excellent. Mancini will be getting his UB40 soon.
Great result for them today. Very pleased for the Irish lads.
Never breaks my heart to see City failing either.
Joining the dole queue...If they dont win next week he will be. Foley had a great game on wednesday too and he had a great finish for their second, as it wasn't an easy goal. Really begining to see a very strong 11 irish first team in the premiership(including russia too obviously) now. I really hope our international team reflects this.
Great result for wolves too and it was more than needed as they still sit in the bottom 3. Doyle needs to start scoring though.
Glad to hear it. Thought he looked in a bit of a slump alright the past few times I've seen him. Foley is very consistent in fairness.Quote:

Excellent research Tets.
Thanks, questions like that were the reason I started the site in the first placeQuote:

Three Irish, and two Irish international players.Quote:

Very clever stuff from Doyle and for me it stopped City building from the back. Kenny Sansom was the co-commentator today and he singled out Doyle, Jarvis and Foley as the top three player son the pitch from either side. Foley was a revelation today. Made the second goal and Mancini sent on Zabletta to try stop Foley sprinting forward with the ball. He almost broke Foley's leg with a terrible tackle. Mancini completely lost the plot late in game. Got rid of the City scarf and his jacket and was ranting like a lunatic at City defenders to stop Doyle bullying them (Sansom's words).
Great Thread Paul Oshea
As always.
First time i have felt OK reading new threads on this website in months.

As always, I am open to constructive criticism.Quote:
