Oz are 127-2, chasing 200. Looking comfortable.

Disapointed to see Steven Ireland dropped to the bench, he's been tremendous every time i've seen him play, suppose thats what'll happen to home grown players though as man city play the guys that cost them the most money.

Ireland is a cracking player, but "home grown"? He's a RoI international, so not even within the remit of "British".

They do have Barry, Lescott, Wright-Phillips, Bellamy and Bridge playing for them (plus Given, if you're including Irish players).

Did he not come through the youth ranks at Man City? thats what i was meaning by home grown, not what nationality they are.

Ah right, I get you now.

Get the feeling he'll be on before too long if Citeh keep playing like this.

One of the most under-rated players in the Premiership IMO :agree:

Ireland is a great player with so many clever touches in midfield and around the edge of the box. He's intelligent.

I can't see him sitting on the bench for long. He made the equaliser tonight.

The only flaw in his make-up is a tendency to vandalise classic automobiles!

Be interesting to see whether ManCee last the distance. If they do, see Liverpuddle not making the top four. Chelski, ManUre and Arsenal all got too much class throughout their teams to drop below fourth.
