well - angry that a stupid t*** like that can have so much money & actually deserve so little of it

 

and not have a clue what to do with it

 

 

Thought about you earlier. Black Swan, the old guy pretending to masturbate opposite Natalie Portman on the train.

worrying a bit, portman having lesbian sex with Kunis and you're sat there thinking about Macca!

 

 

Not during that part. The only thought that went through my head during that scene was " Can i join in ? "

 

Superb performance from her. One of the finest i've seen in years.

i blame sky and their ilk. charging fans & pubs s***loads of money for watching footie, a large wedge of that goes straight to player salaries. compare their salaries now to what they earned in the 80's.

Stephen is a real charmer -

 

 

"After 15 matches on the bench Houllier told me to stay at home," said Ireland, who is hoping to make his Newcastle debut against Everton this weekend.

 

"I trained during the week and on Fridays he told me, 'no point you coming, you are not in the team'.

 

"Yet I was the best player in training. It was my team that won in every session. One of the few times he played me, we drew 0-0 at Chelsea and I ended up man of the match.

 

"Apparently that didn't matter to him. I was stuck with being paid for doing nothing at all. I was left to myself. I had to pay out of my own pocket for medical treatment. Can you believe that?"

 

Ireland also took exception at being asked to move to Birmingham from his home in Manchester.

 

"Houllier asked me to come and live in Birmingham because it was taking me 75 minutes to come to training. But there were 15 players in the same position as me. Some came from London and took more than two hours, but he only asked me to move," he continued.

 

 

Dislike for Birmingham

"For a start, Birmingham is a c**p city and I wasn't going to make the effort, especially as I wasn't playing. Might as well be in Manchester if I had to stay home on match days.

 

"I don't bear Houllier any grudges, it wasn't him who chose me after all."

 

Ireland is desperate to play this weekend, adding: "I just want to play and have a manager who really wants me for once.

 

"I have no idea at the moment who I will be playing for next season. My future is unclear."

 

Ireland retired from international football with his native Republic of Ireland four years ago, but he has no regrets and insists he feels nothing for his homeland, or even his hometown of Cork.

 

"I don't give a damn for Ireland. Live in Cork? I'd rather shoot myself. I prefer Los Angeles," he said.

 

No Irish action

And he admits he is not going to be playing for his country again in the future.

 

"Even at youth level, it p****d me off to go there," he said.

 

"Everyone came from Dublin. I was the only guy from Cork. I had to take the train on my own, pay for a taxi, there was no hotel, no grub. It was handled so amateurishly.

 

"National teams don't interest me. I have more to do than go off for three days to play Andorra. And when you are Irish, you are well aware you'll never win theWorld Cup "I feel nothing for the team. I absolutely don't feel guilty when they lose and, when they win, at no time do I think I could have been there.

 

"Even if Ireland had qualified for the World Cup, I wouldn't have gone. People call for my return, but I have only played five times for them. The national team and me are ancient history."

I don't see what's wrong with any of that. He's just being honest. I know he's a bit of a dick and the dead granny excuse was sick, but you can't really blame him for the money they pay him, and surely it's up to him if he doesn't want to play for Ireland.

No one gives a f*** if he plays with Ireland or not. There's no need for him to keep banging on about it. And I don't care how much of a s***hole your home town is - you don't need to be a d****ead and advertise how much you hate the place.

I just think he's a bit dim and genuinely doesn't give a toss. I wouldn't it wind you up. The whole Torres thing proved a lot to me about modern footballers.

Its the self-pitying whining that I dont like. Poor little diddums all the way from Cork asked to spend time with those nasty scamps from Dublin.
