Not even on the same spectrum mate. haha we are talking about 3 since last season..but none this season. A stat made even more difficult to understand in todays current climate on 'diving'. Do me a favour, serial diver my arse.

Talking of stats. 17 goals and 14 assists in 134 Premier League appearances (according to premierleague.com.) Does that surprise you? The 14 assists, assuming the site is correct, seems extremely low doesn't it? He clearly is very talented and stats don't tell the whole story but that is much lower than I would have guessed.

People like to kick him because he’s a ****?

But what makes him a ****? Does this mean Hazard is a bigger ****?

I'm guessing how he single handedly ripped your heart out at the Amex? Jealousy of his talent at the scum? The fact hes one of our own and knows the importance of the rivalry?

What is it exactly? Or just the diver thing?

Has he dived in the past.He has learnt in this area though, this season is testament to that.

Yes fully agree he has dived in the past and been booked for doing so. This season he has improved his diving skills, just look at the two penalties awarded against Bournemouth late December. Everyone apart from blinkered Palace fans, the referee and the FA were as one in terms of diving, but because he has honed his diving skills the replays were inconclusive for the FA.

2nd most fouled player as he is always looking to win free kicks either in dangerous positions or to break the game up.

Yes and no. He is not a natural goal scorer. Stats do not tell the total picture you are correct. However one man team or not most of the good things we have done he has involvement in. When you have someone like him that makes things happen its very difficult to not look for him at every opportunity. We cant deny that before he came back from injury we looked dead and buried he has been the catalyst for getting out of the mire.

Thats just a hollow objection with no factual foundation. The people who you mentioned govern our game. Lets just go with their opinion I reckon, mainly because we have no alternative.

Yeah, it was the assists that surprised me (as I said.) I appreciate he needs someone to finish them but only 21 "big chances" (their phrase) created also. Remember this is Premier League, doubtless the season with Glenn scoring a gazillion would look very different.

Losing was a blow, but nothing like as bad as you lot like to think it was. When you’ve been as close to the brink as we were at Hereford, all of this is just fluff.

What ever makes you happy fella

What would make ME happy would be for you to **** off and spout your shit on your poxy forum. Or do they think you're a **** as well?

All your posts are "my knob's bigger than your knob". Grow up for **** sake.

You inbreds seem to ignore the fact that the man in charge has family history with our club. The jealousy is unbelievably good. We have a man in charge who is a die hard fan. Is wealthy beyond most people's dreams. Has invested in magnificent facilities for fans, players, media, etc. Even tw@ts from your club. Meanwhile you have Shitehurst. That must REALLY piss you lot off no matter how much you try and brush it all off.

Jealous? :D

Yes you have a nice new out of town ground and plush training facilities, Well done to TB for gifting all this to BHAFC.

But to suggested Palace fans are jealous is laughable, Most Palace fans are very happy Selhurst is being developed and that we are not being shunted out of town away from transport links and pubs. Your obviously very happy with your new ground as it was a massive improvement on what you had before but don't assume fans of other teams are jealous. Your new ground suits you lot, All padded seats and acoustics to keep the 15,000 new happy clappy two team Tarquins happy. Brighton & Hove albion...the new Reading...

Can you shoe-horn a bit more hyperbole in to your posts please.
Anyway...
Honestly? it’s because he dives, a lot. He’s got so much talent I don’t understand why he feels the need to cheat.

Don’t forget they have long been doing tickets sold rather than bums on seats, those figures in championship are a lot higher than what actually turned up.

Falmer Station is closer to the Amex than Selhurst Park is to Norwood Junction. There’s an enormous coach park at the stadium, there’s a large car park at the stadium, there’s masses of parking within a few minutes walk of the stadium. There’s dozens of bus services than run near or actually to the ground. Yes, we know it’s not in the centre of the town but don’t just start making stuff up to suit your flimsy arguments.
