Joel ward

[churley1]

Why on earth would be bitter about that eh? Are you implying that he did actually dive?

He's quick but has no balance, he'll sprint as fast as he can until he either falls over or feels the need to stick his leg around a player and fall over.

Buckley clearly stuck a leg out and got punished, typical forwards challenge but I don't doubt Zaha took the opportunity to make that look like a penalty.

I'm not overly sure why Brighton fans seem to take the higher ground on this one though. Buckley threw himself over later on in the game and your 'Messiah' Vicente wins the gold for the best dive against Liverpool.

Zaha got the full back booked something like 13 times last season, is he conning the ref or is he simply far too tricky?

Anyway, Ward - top signing for 400k.

Ward's an average player who looked okay in a poor Portsmouth team. We can do better.

It's funny how they saw Wilf dive from the other end of the pitch, but didn't see Buckley's swan dive right in fr.ont of them !!
Back on topic, Ward will be a great addition to the team, well respected by Pompey fans.

If you are seriously talking about the penalty at teh Amex, when Carragher took his legs away in the six yard box, then we might as well give up on you now.

Neither. He's just quick. Quick players get tugged back = bookings.

To be fair, Portsmouth fans are a bunch of utter pricks, who wouldn't know respect if it punched them in the face.

I'll take their views thanks, a solid, young player, for a sensible fee

Of course you will, because they are saying what you want to hear. If they were saying he was shit, then you'd discount them.

When a player leaves a club, the normal response is to slag them off, we've all done it. Because only good things are being said about him, that tells me enough about his ability ,and more importantly, the person.

He came through their youth team, stayed when the club turned to shit, and is only leaving because they need him off the wage bill. Even the morons that support Portsmouth would be hard pushed to hold that against him.

Carragher committed himself and Vicente took advantage of that and threw himself over, much like Zaha did.

Clearly, you're not going to change your mind on Zaha despite seeing him for no more than a handful of games. There's a reason he's so highly rated by the FL and it's not his pace, his trickery is unreal at this level.

On the Carragher / vicente thing you are clearly on a wind-up, so we'll leave that aside.

As for Zaha, why does he choose never to use any of these tricks every time I see him play?

Did you not watch him against Man Utd? I lost count of the times he breezed past their players. I seem to remember him and Clyne taking the piss after we scored against you at Selhurst too.

It's a bit like me saying CMS is a headless chicken, I imagine I've seen him play more times than you've seen Zaha but you'd be quick to quash that conclusion for similar reasons.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Did you not watch him against Man Utd?

Yes, I was at Old Trafford. Clyne was excellent.

 

[churley1]

Watching your Premier League team? Sussex was eerily quiet that night.

 

[making plans for nigel]

I'm surprised you didn't come in for him. Played in the premier, established in the championship, young and on a low fee, and just along the coast. After seeing your right back last season, that's the priority rather then replacing CMS

No, I was there to watch Palace.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

did ward play against us at the amex? if so then all I can say is "meh"

yep, just checked, he did......."meh"

I'd imagine that we did consider him, and decided against.

Not sure who you mean by 'our right back'. We used a few. Calderon is more than adequate. he missed the game against you at the Amex, and almost scored a late winner at your dump.

we'll probably be signing a right back yes.........and we're not trying to replace CMS, what gave you that idea?

That was probably a blessing, Zaha's world class trickery would have bamboozled him for sure.
