    Pretty thin line you're drawing though to be fair:

    All sounds very good to me. Why worry?

    He's just saying what he is supposed to say in the situation, it could be the truth, but it could mean anything.

    Then he'll look very foolish if they don't play! If one of them said they wouldn't then I'd imagine a forthright character like Jovani wouldn't spin some rubbish. So if they've gone from definitely not playing again, to probably playing again, I'd say they definitely will play again.

    On the contrary the players would look very very bad if they refuse the invitation to return. Imagine making such a nice old man, an Italian gent, come all that way to talk to them and him full of positivity and generosity (probably bearing a gift of a bottle of wine as well) and not a mean word out of Trap afterwards.

    Probably offered his hot interpreter's 'services' to them as well to seal the deal. No doubt Daddy Dick pounced.

    I see Niko Kranjcar is linked with Arsenal this week. I think himself and Ireland are on a similar level. Kranjcar got abuse from the Croatia fans for a long time because his performances weren't up to scratch and they thought he was getting picked because his father was the coach.
    Well, if his performances weren't up to scratch and his father was the coach combined with fans abusive mob mentality, it all makes perfect sense.

    Yes, Stephen Ireland is Steven Staunton's lovechild!

    I'm just delighted we have an experienced manager in to do the job, relax people Stan is away, i am sure Trap will make great decisions, hopefully those above will return if not then we will just move on and forget about them.

    Says in one of the tabloids today that Andy O'Brien is likely to go to Portugal but Stephen Ireland didn't want to go on the trip and isn't available for the two games against Serbia and Columbia but may be back after the summer. Am sick of the little sh1t at this stage, he can fcuk off as far as I'm concerned.

    Mind you, that's taken from a tabloid so I'll retract that if it turns out to be BS!

    Ha, does he think he is too good to do friendlies now? at least heave the decency to pretend you're injured for friendlies like most other players do, the ego on this idiot is something else, I really don't think he is worth the hassle anymore, good news on O'Brien at least, he is nothing special but our defence should be slightly less dodgy with him partnering Dunne than O'Shea

    That's called a conditional discharge

    The phrase "more trouble than it's worth" continues to spring to mind when it comes to Stephen Ireland.

    The guy is over rated. If he doesnt want to improve his profile and ability as a professional player and test himself against the best on the international stage then let him rot at city. Chris Sutton never achieved his full potential after the "B" cap thing. The same will happen with this tiresome little pr#*k.
    Help something bit me!!!
