45 seconds in.

It's less than a second after the whistle he saves it. If anything it showed anticipation. If he was looking at the linesman I'd be wondering what the hell he was doing.

Your comments as to "he likes flash saves" are frankly laughable. In fact you contradict yourself in your own post - if he should have got nearer to the goal, maybe he would have gone flying through the air, pirouetted four times, then saved it with a Higuita style Scorpion Kick.

Still lets look at the facts in the post.

You stated it was 12 yards out and he should have saved it based on seeing it at the game. When it was pointed out it was a bit different you then say "I have now looked at it again and it was from about 8 yards"

So your arguments earlier on in this thread were based on what you thought the facts were at the time and all of a sudden a 12 yard header straight at the keeper, has been pointed out it was an 8 yard header into the corner.

You talk about fair? When have you ever been fair? You've had an agenda against WH since before he even played for us and have never been willing to give him a chance. You, sir, are a hypocrite.

As for the header, from where I was at the game it looked to be 12 yards out - I have now looked at it again and it was from about 8 yards (though not 'a couple' as Thai-eagle claims). I still think Speroni should have got nearer to it. That's the trouble with him - he likes the flash saves (hence the ridiculous dive to save a shot when the whistle had already gone several seconds earlier for offside) but struggles with a header from 8 yards.

I can see this thread lasting as long as the Hennessy thread

It'll run and run until Hennessey is no longer with the club.

Did I just see someone accuse Speroni of being flash and thinking he always wants a round of applause for himself?

Absolute idiot.

I will always respect different opinions and even though I completely disagree that Speroni is past it, not as good as Hennessey, should of saved the Chelsea goal I can respect those who agree on any or all of those points.

But I think it's highly likely a troll saying Speroni is flash and self-obsessed. I can't see any true Palace fan saying something so ridiculously negative about a club legend.
