He's single-handedly carried that rancid flea-bitten club on his back for so many years now. Without him, they'd have been having their regular little Millwall and Charlton derbies long before their comical "new stand" design was ever committed to the back of a fag packet by that weird...

Glad to be of service :)

I make you right, although the Man U move happened when he was 19 and immature. He described it as "HELL" - remember, they gave him an apartment where he had to live...deep breath...ALONE. And on top of that, they didn't even give him a car. I mean who is ever going to succeed under those...

Its a WASTED career, ultimately. Much as I dislike the bolly-eyed turf magnet, there is no denying his innate talent. But imagine if just once in his career he'd actually played for a good team, at a proper club ? He should have a sideboard full of medals. Instead the only thing filling his...

Why else do you think he's still there ? Nobody else would touch him with a shitty stick on those kind of numbers. Arsenal had a little sniff a couple of years ago, but even they ended up spaffing £72m on Pepe in preference.

As you should know by now (having skulked around NSC forever), we don't bother with an Away Fans end on here. Instead, there are a couple of large-ish threads revisited where your filth of a club are routinely dissected and discussed, as opposed to the multiple decades-old threads clustered on...

Yup, that ship has sailed. Palace priced Zaha out of the market year after year after year. He was DESPERATE to go to Arsenal, but they baulked at the asking price and spaffed £72m on Pepe instead. Who has been utterly shite. Sad how Zaha's career has turned out. Despite his attitude, balance...

He's on about £130k a week there isn't he ? I can't see anyone being stupid enough to pick up that kind of tab for a flaky sulk who's best years are well behind him. All evidence points towards CPFC2010 and the SEGW being stuck with each other till his contract runs out. Then he ends up...

When its still relevant.

SEGW - the Terry Waite of football.

I wouldn't have said otherwise. He's been poorly advised, probably exploited, and made some duff career choices. On the other hand he has trousered a kings ransom which will have set him and his family up for life. But when he retires and looks back on his career, without a single piece of...

Hang on - you're saying you WOULDN'T trust this guy ?

He's changed agents several times since signing that deal for £130k a week. Nobody put a gun to his head, but reading between the lines the leeches and hangers-on have done very, very well out of him committing his long-term future to CPFC2010. He's gradually realised he's been held back by a...

Roll on Monday, with or without the SEGW. If we lose, we're still going to be in a better place regardless.

I hadn't really thought that much about the unbreakable 5 year contract with a rusty radiator. Desperately trapped, sat there tapping away for outside contact with other clubs. Poor Wilf / TW. :lolol: Here's what a 5 year contract with Palace looks like, for your career.

The Kick It Out campaign didn't go far enough either- year upon year of well-meaning t-shirts and advertising hoardings round the pitch, but it became part of the furniture, just background noise. And I think thats what the taking the knee will become too, if we're not there already. Zaha is...

He split with his long-standing agent Will Salthouse last year, who in 2018 got him that 5 year £130k a week deal thats tied him down at Palace (the heart bleeds dunnit). He switched to the 'Super Agent' Pini Zahavi in January 2020 after putting in a transfer request, amid reported interest...

Most kind, sir. :thumbsup: I felt it a fitting simile for his disappointing, unfulfilled career. It must weigh on him.

Agreed, I see little to disagree with there. Despite what commentators tediously roll off at the start of every game about "raising awareness" etc, the constant taking off the knee hasn't done anything tangible to affect anything - which some clubs and players are now increasingly acknowledging...

Leicester went into administration in 2002, and won the title in 2016 so it was a bit more than a couple of years. However, it was one of the biggest examples of cheating in recent football history. They were relegated from the PL in 2001, went into administration, somehow retained all their...
