He was very good for a couple of seasons at City. Not really sure why it didn't work for him at Villa. Will be interesting to see how he does at Newcastle.

He's clearly bonkers and a chav, but I think he's a pretty decent player.

#cheekybid

Not long before he's trying to convince a serial killer to put down the gun and go fishing.

“Going away for three days to play in Andorra – I’ve got better things to do.”

“But I don’t care about Ireland. I don’t know if I’ll go back one day. Live in Cork? I might as well shoot myself. I prefer Los Angeles.”

“Birmingham is a c**p city and I wasn't going to make the effort, especially as I wasn't playing.”

Whole interview is pretty epic, but these quotes particularly stood out

I'd love to go out on the piss with him, Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen.

Thousands of English, Dutch and Germans disagree with him about living in Cork.

(Though they're down West Cork, not in Cobh)

Not many French though tbh du plantier.

Newcastle United's on-loan midfielder Stephen Ireland has moved to put the record straight on quotes attributed to him in Friday's newspapers regarding his parent club, Aston Villa, and his hometown in Ireland.

"I'm upset with what has been printed this morning because I feel like I've been portrayed in the wrong way," Ireland told skysports.com in a statement issued from his agent.

"I was misquoted and things have been blown way out of proportion. That is the reason why I feel like I needed to say something because the quotes are very unfair.

"What I said during the interview has been twisted to sound particularly blunt and a lot of what was written about my hometown of Cork - which me and my family visit regularly - was just plain ridiculous.

"The comments regarding Birmingham were also taken way out of context as I had only been at Villa a few months and didn't even live there so I have no idea what Birmingham is like to live in and everyone I have met from Birmingham has been nice, my girlfriend's father is from Birmingham so why would I say that, it's just crazy.

"I can only apologise if anyone was offended, but the way the interview was written made me sound very harsh, and I am not that kind of person."
