You think Buckley just strolls around and puts the ball in the net?
Like I've said, I haven't seen Zaha enough to comment on who I think is 'better', but the FACT is, Buckley has scored MORE GOALS in FEWER appearances. Get that?
This is like trying to tell a religious person that there is no God
I'm surprised you haven't seen Zaha that much as you were obsessed enough about him to start a poll on him and to post several times about him. Are you a Premier League scout in disguise or are you Buckley's agent looking for a pay rise?

Neither and I'm not obsessed, I just wanted to make a point that we don't actually think he's shit, we just don't get the hype.
I'm sure it was a joke. However, it could equally be read as someone trying to turn a profit, after all look at the context in which the site was purchased. And for the record, I never said just owning the site is a problem, so we agree on that.
I'm sorry I didn't explain in layman's terms earlier but I'm not sure anyone here is qualified too; Cyber squatting is a legal grey area.
I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, my first post was simply to advise Gripper to set up an appreciation page of some sort, although even then it's debatable if this would stand up - not that it's likely to be tested.

Oh so because he has 4 more goals in a few less games makes him a better player? Can Buckley make defenders look like mugs? I think not....... how comes there's no hype about Buckley? Could that be because he's a good championship player at best?

I am a Brighton fan and I thought this was a Brighton forum.
Seems this forum is all about Palace recently and I'm rapidly losing interest. Palace are of no more interest to me than any other Championship side and I find the adolescent obsession with them on here and twitter tedious and embarrassing to read most of the time.
Zaha is clearly a decent player and it makes us look like dicks every time someone claims otherwise. He does dive and he is somewhat overhyped. However if a club like Real really are sniffing round him, I dont blame Palace for sticking a ludicrous price tag on the guy as that's just good business sense. It doesn't mean they actually think he's worth 20m but if they can take a rich club for that kind of money they'd do well cashing in on him while he's in the limelight.

Ok, well obviously we love him and all our players really. The hype is football these days - not much to my liking and perhaps not yours. I just hope that Zaha gets a chance, God knows that England need some new and exciting talent.

Clearly you haven't seen much of Buckley either, which makes this argument both irrelevant and perpetual.
You might like to watch the GIF in my signature, I quite like it.

If you think that's skill, wait till December 1st
To be honest, the context was that we like taking the piss. Gripper did seem unsure whether he was allowed to even keep the site as a joke, so I'm just saying I think he can. I don't know what the rules are, but I assume if it's a light hearted piss take it's alright. There must be loads of examples of this.

Nah not at all . We will go about our work nice and professionally and let the football do the talking , Wilf has been naive but he will learn from it . You wont get us crowing just yet ( apart from a few dick heads on here ) but i might make an exception on the 1st !

Re: Zaha : "only Messi & Ronaldo are better than me"
Really? The opposite I'd say. All we hear is either the fans or someone at the club giving it large and tedious. Massively setting themselves up I'd say.

Both players will have plenty of assists, but the facts state that Zaha gets a goal every 9 games, while Buckley gets a goal every 5 games. Purely in terms of goals / assists, Buckley is the more productive player.
Can Buckley make defenders look like mugs ? Yes, he can and does quite frequently (note just one recent example, where he gave a Leeds player a 5 yard start, knocked it past him and had left him for dust within 10 strides).
How come there's no hype about Buckley ? Probably because BHAFC are not constantly touting him in readiness for the January transfer window. Your owners are professional marketing men who are doing an outstanding job in advertising your prime asset. Their well-tuned hype machine has gone into overdrive, resulting in Wilf getting a call-up to the England squad, which will only stick some more numbers on his valuation.
A decent little player if a bit raw and unproven, but thanks to Parish you'll probably end up getting about twice what he's actually worth. Thats good work.
