The rest of the team neither rushed in to have a pop at WP nor to pull wilf away - they let it happen. I am not condoning mass brawls but our lot need to start adopting the one for all and all for one rule! Luka is great but Jedi would have been right in there to first of all break it up and save Wilf from himself but also to sort the retribution!! Edited by The Dolphin (31 Jan 2019 11.27am)

Yes he was constantly being fouled, yes the ref did not protect him, but, do what other top class players do, get up and just get on with the game. Every team now know (if they didn't before) just keep winding him up and he will blow !!

Edited by The Dolphin (31 Jan 2019 11.27am) This with knobs on. Wilf had been being picked on in a highly professional way, knowing that there was a chance something would eventually tip him over the balance. Jedi would have got that. He would have seen the issue arising, stepped in and taken the Yellow himself by facing up to Ward Prowse. He would then have made sure Ward Prowse ended the game with less skin on his bones than he started with. Our enforcers should be Luka and Mamadou. Ayew did his best but come on... Maybe we need a coach to teach the dark arts, otherwise our flair players are going to get hurt.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle This post has been merged from a topic called 'Wilf Ban' by Midlands Eagle I cannot wait until VAR is brought in for EVERY premier league game. I'm beyond angry now at the shoddy standards of refereeing. Yes, refs are human, but some are either plain biased or simply blind and useless! I believe there should be a thorough monitoring of refs each week and those who make egregious decisions should be disciplined/counseled etc. It's lunacy that games (and vital points) can be determined by poor reffing. And don't get me started on Zaha. Aside from his behavior ffs let's have the FA monitor the attacks on him and brief their referees to stamp out the sickening fouls that he's plagued with game after game. Just because Hazard never 'complains' doesn't mean Wilf should continue to be hacked down. I wish there was something more I could do other than just verbalize my fury on this thread. Thanks for listening.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle This post has been merged from a topic called 'Wilf Ban' by Midlands Eagle Originally posted by dreamwaverider Jury will be out oh Wilf now. All very well saying sell him. Many of us have paid good money to watch him. He is one of our most exciting players ever. Don’t let something like this lose him. The guy is a special very rare talent. His skills make a massive difference to fans customer experience at games. Whenever Wilf gets theball at his feet it is like getting a fix of adrenalin. We are all involved in a sport where the PC world has taken over and tonight’s game was a classic example of that. Let Zaha get smashed time and again and other Palace players. Then let Ward Prowse take the *iss (whoops pc boys won’t like this word so I’ve changed it). Then watch Zaha lose his cool and let the pathetic PC world take over. Easy way out is blame Wilf, sell Wilf,buy 2 new better players with the money ( yeah right!,) ban Wilf maybe for more than one game just to let us all know that being well behaved is far more important than being talented. Petulance is a huge crime in football. Hazard is the world master at controlling himself. Wilf is not. Wilf has attitude and I am100% with him. I’m so fed up with refs constantly failing to follow the rules. These PC officials are going to destroy the game if we let the current way continue. It notgood enough. Let a talent get niggled,taunted and smashed all game. Wait for him to blow his fuse and then send him off. Well I And many others have paid good money to watch him.so I am being penalised for this situation. The FA and football needs to take a long hard look at this. He will get an automatic one match ban. What happens beyond that will determine the future of our beloved sport. If the FA give him more then they are condoning the end of super talent and saying don’t express yourself, we want nice polite boring players. They will be killing the game. Defend Wilf to the hilt guys. This is a big thing. At the very least he needs every Palace fan out there to be with him. Yes he was petulant but for a reason. He broke. So did I. And so do so many of you in the stands every time he gets chopped down. It’s killing the game. Time to address this. Defend talent at all costs. Without it the game will lose one of its most exciting aspects. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This. 1000%. Best post I have read on HOL in a very long time. All the holier than thou criticism/"sell him now" comments are rather sad. They overlook that Wilf is probably by some distance the finest player ever to pull on a Palace shirt in the last 50 years; has been the architect of some of our finest achievements; and is being kicked from pillar to post. Try doing your job with someone physically assaulting you every 5 minutes! Comparisons with Hazard are in my view misleading - Hazard is much more protected by refs; goes to ground pretty often without any contact; and tends to go missing in games when the opposition gets physical (Wilf does not). Enjoy every single game that we have left with this genius in a Palace shirt, I say. Let's take yesterday's point, and move on. COYP. Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it..

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle This post has been merged from a topic called 'Wilf Ban' by Midlands Eagle Sorry but Zaha has shown time and time again that he is brainless. Already been susopended this season for picking up 5 bookings for retaliating when he was angry about not getting a decision. As was said above, he is in his mid-20s with over 300 games (I think) to his credit - he's not a little kid. Needs to grow up.

Every time he gets fouled - or believes he gets fouled - he moans. Sometimes that right, but the issue with Wilf is that he won't accept the decision (free kick or not) and move on. Too many times Luka (or others) have had to pull him away and last night was just waiting to happen. It's been coming and I'm surprised it's taken 24 games for a ref to do this. Don't get me wrong, I love Wilf - and love watching him drive defenders insane - but he does need to show some maturity in these instances. “My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky."
