    He's quite the inspirational speaker isn't he? Reminiscent of the likes of Martin Luther King or Abraham Lincoln. Really surprised he doesn't do more media work and public appearances.

    stevie you f*cking tw*t just in case you dont realise or have the memory of a f*cking goldfish here is a list of the premiership players you have at your disposal (including those who are out injured)

    Bolton - Joey O'Brien
    Everton - Lee Carsley
    Sheffield United - Alan Quinn
    Stephen Quinn
    Paddy Kenny
    Derek Geary
    Reading - Kevin Doyle
    Stephen Hunt
    Shane Long
    Newcastle Utd. - Steven Carr
    Shay Given
    Damien Duff
    Portsmouth - Andy O'Brien
    Spurs - Robbie Keane
    Blackburn - Steven Reid
    Charlton - Andy Reid
    Liverpool - Steve Finnan
    Man City - Steven Ireland
    Richard Dunne
    Wigan - Kevin Kilbane
    Man Utd - John O'Shea

    Also take into consideration Darren O'Dea and Aiden McGeady who are getting invaluable Champions Leage experience.
    Also some fringe players like alan o'brien and eddie nolan who are being slowly introduced by their clubs along with cillian sheridan.

    Thats an almost 23 man squad who when fit are playing at the top level.

    Now add in the up and coming players in the championship etc and its fairly obvious that with a manager in place we have massive potential. This bulls*it about rebuilding is only a smokescreen. The nucleus is there already.

    Stan please go away and sort youself out for the sake of us all

    matchday squad off the top of my head from the premiership:

    given

    finnan
    dunne
    o'shea
    geary

    duff
    ireland
    a.reid
    s.reid

    keane
    doyle

    subs:
    kenny
    andy o'brien
    stephen quinn
    alan quinn
    stephen hunt

    granted the 2 reid's are currently injured, but that starting xi is fairly strong,
    I'm aware andy o'brien on the bench doesn't play much, but he is still in the premiership
    that's still not including the likes of McGeady, O'Dea, or Ian Harte.
    next season could see any number from McShane, Stephen Kelly, Stokes, Miller, Connolly, Murphy, Elliott, Keogh, Ward all added to that list

    <edit>
    just went through your list greendeiseboy, I forgot long, kilbane, carsley and carr!

    "A lot of our squad is coming from the Championship, which I'm not saying isn't a high standard, but there is a big jump from Championship to Premiership to international football.

    I don't understand comments like this. How is there a jump from Premiership football to games against nations like San Marino and Cyprus (or for that matter from Championship football to those types of games).

    "Will it be an inspiration to us? Well, I hope it doesn't work against us. I know the Welsh will be hoping for that," Staunton admitted.

    Well that's the next excuse lined up. After getting outplayed by the Welsh and losing he'll tell us that there's nothing a manager can do when the opposing team is fired up to play in a world class venue, and that it didn't help that his own side had never played at Croke Park before so it wasn't really a home game.

    He's not a leader or an inspiration to the team. If it's such a big jump from championship to international ,what sort of a jump is it for somebody that handed the bibs out and set up the cones at walsall to international manager in one swoop.

    Please ignore posts by binsman, he's a pimp for a marketing company called Cybercom. If you object to this kind of behaviour, please email corporatecitizenship@diageo.com and ask them not to employ pimps to advertise their brands.

    When i saw the edited part, I thought he'd been trying to get us playing Astroturf on Tuesday nights in the hope of making Stans squad.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    I actually cringe now reading his interviews. the **** he spouts is unbelievable.Every Irish manager has struggled to have top class strikers at their disposale. Staunton has at the moment. Also IMO he has a stronger squad than McCarthy ever had.

    i reckon if we lost the two next games and the clamour for him to leave reached mega proportions , he still would not resign.
    Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.

    He's a dunce. The man has been making excuses from day one trying to cover the mistakes he knew he was going to make. There is nothing wrong with our current squad it's better than anything McCarthy or Kerr had to work with.

    Ginger tw*t.

    I had a feeling youngirish would be in this thread. Any excuse to use one of those asterix he uses in every post. He's worse than Colin Farrell.

    I'm a smiley person. Smilies are there to express your emotions. If I post a smiley obviously my sentence is a little light hearted, I don't know. I only use them for good reason. Take the smilies out of my above post and it looks like I'm having a go at youngirish.

    Anyway, swearing in every post just comes across as very aggressive.

    Everyone swears I know in everyday chit chat all the time there's nothing aggressive about it. Most Irish people I know converse that way. It distinguishes us from the Queen.

    What do clowns like Delaney and his spinmasters think of Stans gibberish? It is just offensive stuff at this stage. And I agree with one of the earlier posts that Stan will never resign. Or Delaney for that matter. Both will have to be forced out by the fans and media.
