He was named in the team of the month last month too.

I could see him playing until he's 40! 
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Strongly rumoured that he's angling for an easy move to Derry. I'm not sure if you can hold the registration of a "retired" player for that long, usually there's something like a 6 month/next season expiry on those things.
We're decent enough..

Had to go back 4 pages to find this thread, but Jimmy got another assist on Saturday taking him to 8 goal involvements for the season (2G, 6A). Fine going considering Wigan have only managed 28 goals in total. He has also featured in every single Wigan League game this season at 33yo.

Also played the full game vs Blackburn the week previous, hours after attending the birth of his fourth child.

His 8 goal involvements in the Championship are only bettered by 3 Irish players in the top 2 divisions, all strikers, Keane 12, Hogan 11 and Robinson 10. 

Warrior, Manning may have to wait a while yet.

Bit insensitive from McClean IMO, putting a coffin walking past him on his instagram story

Back on the score sheet today.

Wigan have been on a terrible run of results lately.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Good summary on McClean in MON's autobiography.  

Remembered for his goals against Austria and Wales, what gets noticed less is a few last-ditch tackles in our own box which saved very likely goals - and from an attacking player getting all the way back there - says it all about his character.

“James McClean was at Sunderland when I arrived and I gave him his debut and, honestly, he was a breath of fresh air,” says the 1982 World Cup star.

“He became an instant hero with the crowd and did brilliantly and then the crowd turned against him because of the poppy incident where he didn’t want to wear a poppy or refused to do that and then not only visiting fans would give him stick for that but also the Sunderland fans.

“I have to say, though, that James McClean did marvellously for me both at club level and international level. In fact, in the 2018 World Cup campaign after the Euros in 2016, he took on the mantle as our main man trying to get us to Russia.

“He did brilliantly for me and I have the utmost regard for James McClean.”

Just a recruitment drive for cannon fodder for the next pointless war

Murdoch media empire and Sky in particular started pushing it in 2003 to garner support for the illegal war in Iraq. Think Leicester were the first to put them on the shirt. Snowballed from there. 
one of the tabloids started a campaign around 2008 for all premier league teams to put poppies on their jerseys for remembrance weekend. There were a few that refused, pretty sure one of them was Middlesbrough, but they were castigated for it in the press, so they started doing it the next season

A number of teams had already followed Leicester's lead after 2003 by then though. Am pretty sure it was 2003 when it first appeared.
