Joel ward

[Barn Door Billy]

Deluded, so deluded. Plastic club, devoid of history, end of.

I think what this statement actually means is "I know i'v lost this argument badly, but can't bare to acknowledge that fact like a normal, decent person, so instead I will try to cover it up with a rather pathetic cheap insult".

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

The whole point of this thread was to extol the virtues of Joel Ward but the truth of the matter is that he wouldn't have got a place in out team at the end of last season so provided we sign Mattock on a free why should we worry if he signs for Palace Ipswich or Leeds it is totally irrelevant to us, as he wouldn't get into our team only improve the back up.

he apparently played against us at the amex and i can't for the life of me can't remember him........all i remember is that the whole portsmouth team tried hard but were severely lacking in any form of talent

That link is pure gold and runs to over 15 pages of hand wringing non committed Palace fans talking about crowds just last October - it doesn't even refer to the fact that the actual crowd was less than 10k that night and you went fifth in the table in the Championship !

You refer to our PAST crowds in a stadium we filled to near capacity each week (attendance was pulled down by poor away shows at Withdean such as Palace who failed to sell out their 700 ticket allocation) in lower leagues. Our current attendances are something you can only aspire to with Groupon, 2 for 0ne , poster campaigns etc. Face it , at the moment, you are desperate for any fans - plastic or not

Plenty of empty seats in the home end that day, like most of your latter games at The Withdean. I'll lend you the DVD if you want proof.

Apparently Vicente played for Brighton against Palace but I can't for the life of me remember him doing anything, so he must be crap.

Bless. Did your club really make a DVD to celebrate winning that one at Withdean? How cute.

You can't judge Ward just based on just his game at the Amex. He clearly has talent, but as most have said he's solid and reliable rather than spectacular. £400k is a fair price for him, maybe worth £100k-£200k more but that's about it.

i'm not going to judge him just on that....just that I really can't remember him....certainly didn't stand out in what was a woefully poor portsmouth side

perhaps he's more of a "quietly goes about his business" type player........he certainly attracted a decent amount of interest from other clubs in the league that would suggest he has something

Nah I recorded it off Sky and burnt it to dvds.

Our club don't put any old game on dvd, unlike yours who put Southampton away on sale!

Obviously, it was tongue and cheek. My point is, you're (not you, NSC in general) rating a young player on seeing him once in a side that was decimated by the effects of administration.

How can you genuinely draw a valid conclusion from that? You can't, because you're talking about a Palace related matter.

i haven't tried to draw a "valid conclusion" about him....i said that i didn't remember him

(edit and that i remember the portsmouth team lacking in talent....which is true....in that game)

TBF when we played Portsmouth Ward didn't stand out. He is s**t on Fm as well.

So Clyne will be off soon and now their best Centre Back in Gardner is off to Sheff Wed. Palace's defence getting weakened rather rapidly. Still, they've got their captain - donkey McCarthy, left I suppose.

Oh, and their esteemed leader Steve Parish is desperately trying to get a rugby team to play their home games at Selhurst

What, REALLY!? Imagine if Bloom suggested that to Gus? As long as the ball doesn't roll along the floor too much I guess they wont have a problem. The divets might help Zaha fall over a bit more I suppose.

Really:

Palace make late bid to bring Premiership rugby to Selhurst | Inside Croydon

Crystal Palace co-owner Steve Parish has made an 11th hour offer to bring Premiership rugby to Selhurst Park.

The Eagles chairman has contacted senior figures at London Welsh to offer help and support to the 2011-2012 RFU Championship winners, as they seek to overturn a governing body’s decision that could deny them the promotion to the top-flight that they have earned.

Inside Croydon understands that Parish has been in contact with senior London Welsh officials to discuss a possible link-up and any help that Palace might be able to offer.

With Harlequins the only London rugby club to play its home matches in the capital, London Welsh has the potential to attract a big audience to their home games if the Dragons shared a nest with the Eagles at Selhurst Park, which has a strong rugby catchment area that includes many large junior clubs and rugby-playing schools.

Regular top-flight rugby matches could also bring extra business to Croydon, though the games would be unlikely to require similar levels of policing to football.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Ehehe, can't get enough people through the door for the football so they have to introduce a new sport to help.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Fantastic! Palace's crowds would be dwarfed by the egg-chasers

Haha. I've never seen a PICTURE of Parrish before. What an absolute Cu'nt he looks. Its like Simon Jordan never left!

Certainly looks like a billionaire.

Or then again.....
