Though the bloke who helped deliver it can't have been driving it down there as he got a two year ban earlier this year re link below

This is getting a little obsessive.

 

[sparkie]

Good for him.

"Na Wilf, I'll get the sandwiches 'cause you got the Rolls".

"Zaha, 27, is considered one of the Premier League's hottest prospects"

How the frig can a 27-year old be considered a "hot prospect" ? Some of these SPANNERS who act as paid journalists almost beggar belief.

Hope he doesn't trip up when he gets in.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Well paid footballer spends a lot of money on a car! Well, that's unusual then.

 

[Mackenzie]

He loves his cars, to be fair though that’s probably only a couple of weeks wages to pay for it. Good luck to him.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

I don't begrudge anyone who can afford something buying something they can afford. Good luck to them.

I don't particularly like his character on the field, and his choices of fashion off the field have caused much mirth, but if he wants to buy a Roller then why not. I would if I had his money.

In you’re haste you may have overlooked this beauty. “and has spent loan spells at Manchester United.”

 

[Juan Albion]

I hope it has a towbar.

 

[Justice]

Bit sad to see on a BHA board.

 

[nwgull]

Fair play to him. He's single handedly kept Palace out of relegation battles for the past few seasons so has more than earned every penny of his 5-6m a year.

 

[Hampster Gull]

Zaha must be considered a footballing failure given he was, apparently, one of the hottest prospects. He was played at best a mediocre club and won nothing. One spell at a “big” club he flunked. Lots of money though

I would say as a counter argument that anyone who players pro sport is not a failure, and anyone who has played 7 or 8 seasons in the football English premier league which is one of the best leagues in the world is definitely not a failure.

Maybe not fully reached his potential would be a better term.

You’re right of course

Trust you to have a Whiteface mug.

200 bags (of sand) dropped on a car is a bit unnecessary imho. I prefer the Marcus Rashford philanthropist approach myself, although I believe Zaha does possibly also do some philanthropy and Rashford likes his Mercs.

 

[Binney on acid]

I don't think we would be in a relegation struggle if he were in our team. His success in football, playing for at best a mediocre team, isn't my definition of failure.
