"We'll see what happens".

Jamie Carragher was approached about playing for Ireland but elected to stick with England, for obvious reasons.

“I think I was, yeah. I wasn’t going to do it so I never had to look into that much … me and Richard Dunne at the back!”

I'm drawing conclusions based upon some very tenuous evidence, I''ll fit in well around here.....

Called up for England now anyway

All set up for Mancini to be the next Italy manager and search far and wide through South America for the next Messi with a hint of Italian heritage.

He's just rubbing it in now:

Harry Kane ‏@hkane28 27m27 minutes ago
Best night of my life by far! So proud to have made my debut and to score is just something else! Had dreams of that moment for many years!

He could have been a contender here. He could have been bigger than Gary Doherty.

**geysir** · 27/03/2015, 11:04 PM

Gary Doherty has scored more goals for ireland than SSL..... that's big!

A case of Dr Jekyll and... Dr Hyde.

Interesting interview from Peter Rowan in the Sunday Times today. He interviews the head of scouting for the Polish FA who has 12 unpaid scouts working in Ireland and expect to have an Irish-born player in the Poland underage set-up within the next five years.

Lucky them. Terry Dixon likes Perogies.

The goalkeeper?

**Crosby87** · 05/04/2015, 11:47 PM

Thats the guy that always has his shirt on backwards.

A young skinny eligible player played pretty well for Villa last night at home to relegation rivals QPR. He is definitely a very talented boy, an exciting talent, though his set pieces weren't the best.

I couldn't help noting just how silly the Villa fans were for celebrating a late equaliser that prevented a direct rival getting within a point of them. Have they no dignity?

**DeLorean** · 08/04/2015, 9:33 AM

That direct rival would have swapped places with them actually, toppling Villa into the relegation zone with a game or two extra played on most of their other rivals. I get your point though

I didn't see any of it... was there highlights on Sky Sports or something? I noticed that the eligible kid started alright, Sherwood must have a lot of faith in him to select him in a game of that importance.

**paul_oshea** · 08/04/2015, 9:45 AM

He was very good but I think you would have to move his thread to EPL to talk about it

geddit?

I looked at him at times and saw hoolohan, except a hoolahan just as skinny and light but who didnt get easily nudged off the ball and was well able win it back.

**Stuttgart88** · 08/04/2015, 9:55 AM

Thanks for the correction, I was too lazy to check the table. Sherwood not only trusted the kid to start, but also to take nearly every free and corner. He allowed him the license to just play without fear. Paul was right too, Grealish is very enthusiastic without the ball too and tries hard to win the ball back a la Barcelona. He is slight but able to hold of bigger players due to good technique. Certainly an exciting talent albeit WIP.
