I'm ready to go. If we don't want flair I want a break

jeudi 25 août 2016

I've supported the club through thick and thin. I've been a season ticket holder for 25 years. I sing. I've never booed a Palace player, whether I like them or not. But I am not going to continue going this season if Zaha goes. Neither will my girlfriend - her favourite player was Bolasie, and her second favourite is Zaha. She's a season ticket holder as well.

Sell Dann, Benteke, Mccarthur, Speroni, Townsend, Cabaye, Tomkins, Wickham, Puncheon etc. I don't care. Great as they all are technically. Superb Premiership players too. I don't care if they win 25 in a row. They are dull. They keep me sitting down. There's only one player who is worth the admission alone. His name is Wilf Zaha and I enjoy watching him whether he loses the ball, his cross floats into the Arthur Waite or flashes across into the main stand. Even if his shot is caught in the Upper Holmesdale I don't care. The key is he excites. He makes opposition players look stupid. He is Palace. He is one of the world's greatest at dribbling, a lost art. If he goes I am not going to start supporting Brighton. I am Palace through and through. But I will stop going this season. I won't be looking for a refund, our seats can just stay empty.

Unlike the greed league that the Premiershit has become, it's not about the money. It's about principle. Call it throwing the toys out of the pram, but if Benteke is worth 100k then Wilf is worth double. if we are not prepared to properly reward our greatest ever academy player for his years of entertainment let alone service then the club deserve to have empty seats in the stand. Serve up the superb Cronx beer and wonderful passing from keeper to striker. I don't care. As soon as Wilf has gone I will need a break. I hope others will feel the same. As for all my trolls - and don't worry there aren't many, I can only really name one - they can allow their hearts to be filled with excitement because I will have plenty of time to follow them back. I look forward to reading the match reports. All the best guys. Up the Palace.
