if only
Yeah your right. Wilf has had no recognition this season at all from the media for his form
Just trying to look through the palace boards for the thread on the Brighton player..
Anyhow - safe passage for all at the game tonight.
Some would say you're a one man team and rely on him too much? Anyhow you don't have to worry about him leaving you, no top 6 team will come in for him. Why is that? Is it because he moans every time he falls over or is it he is not actually better than Messi, Ronaldo, et al? I think the term is red and blue tinted specs.
Yea he is a good player and has some skill but just not as good as the Nigles think.

He will have to watch it tonight with the video evidence.

Care to elaborate? Why is he still at Palace? He was the third best player in the world at one point?

Zaha has been booked three times in the Premier League for diving, one of which was a totally incorrect decision against Leicester as he was clearly fouled and should've resulted in a penalty.
Gareth Bale was booked 6 times for diving.
Why would you deliberately fabricate a "fact" like that, I wonder?
He's still at Palace because he's totally settled in South London, he's a Palace fan, and previous negative experiences at United will likely have made him think twice about leaving his comfort zone. This is bad news for Zaha's career, but excellent news for Palace, in that we have been able to hold on to a phenomenal talent for far longer than we should have been able to. When he eventually leaves - probably at the end of the season - we'll be looking at a fee likely exceeding £50m.

what a load of made up bs. Thats just untrue. Love to see the evidence for that. Has Wilf been booked this season for diving
Also he is either first or second (cant be bothered to find it) with Hazard as most fouled player season. The facts just dont stack up to the reality.
The fact there is a thread with regards to whether one of our players will be playing tonight says it all. He's just too good for you.
Also I doubt he will play, too crucial for us to risk.
22 players were booked for dives last season, 3 played for Palace, this was a division high. HaHa was one of them.

50m? For a player who failed when he was actually signed by a big club? Not good enough to be a full English international in competitive games?turned down by the last two England managers, who, ironically went on to manage him at club level.
Hmmm, good luck with that.

Again, if he was that good he would be in a top 6 club, he would care more about money than Palace.

Palace don't do facts - They make up what they want to suit their agenda. Go read the away end of the BBS. Delusion of Grandeur

He has improved massively since he left United.
You know as well as I do that everyone in the England camp is kicking themselves for letting him slip away.
When Mahrez leaves Leicester, Zaha will be the best player outside the top 6. £50m is a totally reasonable sum.

I think you are probably correct. That said Wilf has undoubtedly "got away" with some diving this season Tom Daley would be proud of, so no chance Roy will risk him with VAR around tonight.

Ah but what if they do risk him, and it does catch him....
How cool would that be a red card and lengthy ban with the honour of being the first player in the EPL to be caught.
Saying that he will probably bang in a hat trick

Should cover the cost of Benteke's contract and leave a bit in the bank for some cladding.
