Excellent. Pretends he doesn't hear the criticism that he never turned out to be as good as they always hoped he would: inwardly it's EATING away at him.

so he is saying that the mighty Palace are actually NOT a top Club then.

You’d have thought, after all the millions he’d earned, he wouldn’t be a massively insecure cock.

The guy is clearly running his own social medias like a normal earthbound human being. I'll take some spelling and grammar errors over the usual agency created & curated "love me & follow me"-brainwashing stuff nearly every other footballer pretends to write.
He seems a really reasonable guy, as much as that might hurt the weirdos in here following a former Palace player in his mid table MLS adventures.
Trust me, if our footballers wrote things themselves rather than hire some social media manager to make them look good, it would usually not be any wiser than what Zaha wrote.
He's a real person behaving like a real person. Credit to him.
That may well be so, and you may well be right, but "credit to him"? No thanks. He's a Crystal Palace "legend" that ****ed us over multiple times on the field, scored crucial goals against us and knocked us out of the plays offs.
Writing his own instagram won't suddenly get him any credit from me. Which is me, as a real person, behaving like a real person too.
Clearly a Brighton legend as well because why would anyone otherwise discuss the MLS adventures and dissecting the social media posts of a player who left a rival club years ago?
Thats something I'd imagine Tranmere Rovers fans doing with some Everton or Liverpool player. "Oh look, Steven Gerrard had a bad game in the MLS and compared to our 16th place in League Two, that is some really interesting stuff."
But this Zaha obsession..? Come on.
That may all be true but he's still a ****.

Grammar is really important isn't it? His post makes no sense.
Is he trying to say that footballers shouldn't be judged just by the teams they have played for or trophies they have won, and he is actually trying to stand up for people that haven't played for big clubs?
Or is he saying that he is better than everyone thinks he is, and he shouldn't be judged badly just because he played for Palace and won f'all?

Would have made more appearances if he was as good as he thinks he is. Take away that May evening in 2013 and his career is pretty average. The lack of interest in buying him will always make that clear
If you don't understand it, then I don't have the time or energy to explain it.
Nonsense mate. Football is a pantomime and Zaha is THE Brighton pantomime villain of the last 20-30 years. It's not an obsession, it's just British football culture at play. And the best thing about Zaha was that he really got the rivalry, and he absolutely loved playing that role. It's just a shame we haven't really had the equivalent figure on this side for any length of time. I guess they would say Dunk, but it's not really the same level.
Long may the bitterness and pettiness continue against him. He wouldn't want it any other way.
