100% spot on. I think most of the Palace fans understand this but are trying to protect him. He cheats all the time and moans when players kick him. I wonder how Norman Hunter or Stuart Pearce would have dealt with him. Even Pardew admitted that he dives as he was taught to go down if touched...
What really annoys me in football is the comment that if a player is touched he is entitled to go down, what utter crap. I played a reasonably good standard and was ‘touched’ a few times during a game but stayed on my feet. Zaha was touched and then dived, so he is a cheat as it was impossible...
