Odd that the lad on work experience who wrote this feels Zaha owes or belongs at Cardiff. Weird. I get the impression that between DM and OGS, neither of them can manage him properly.

 


RED AND BLUE ARMY!

I had a beer or 2 with a couple of die hard Cardiff fans. What rankled them [and they are intelligent professional types] was not Wilf's game - they were more than aware that they were bl00dy awful. No, it was his refusal to "do the Ayatollah" when the fans chanted for it [!?].

I am aware that this is going to appear absurd and will no doubt produce some choice responses to this post; but this tradition is apparently a big thing in Cardiff. It is a great deal more [I am told] than "Stevie give us a wave" or whatever. Actually, I don't think we have any comparitive tradition. When the crowd demand it, as a Cardiff player you MUST do it.

The thing is [and I am not taking any sides on this wierd point] he will have been with the club for some time; he will know that it is a sort of screwed up honour to have this request thrown at him; and he will know that the crowd were testing his loyalty. I don't know why he refused, but it sent out a bad signal to the home fans.

I feel that a lot of this sensitive little man's angst is that he failed to pass the loyalty test. Proof positive in his warped tiny mind that Wilf deliberately played badly as his primary loyalty was to his old club.

Agent Wilf
Agent Holloway

Keep doing your stuff boys and take the fckers down.

Ha ha excellent.

Not even going to read the nonsense - Cardiff fans need to look closer to home for all their problems

 


You'll be forever in my family's memories and it was an honor and privilege to play and lead in the red and blue
Yours sincerely

Could pick every sentence of that article to pieces. A load of opinionated vitriol. The author has also decided to make Zaha a central figure in a number of his blogs, nonsense articles really.

They wanted him to join them, not us and live up to his potential, in the same way he did for us.

He hasnt for a variety of reasons and therefore they're on his back. Even more so as he apparently decided against "doing the ayaltollah", probably because he knows he's not a cardiff player, never will be and will, at worst, be back at manure come the end of may.

Don't blame him either. I'd have thought less of him had he become a badge kisser and then naffed off at the end of the season.

I don't blame Wilf, OGS left him no choice. He was bigging him up before the game, indicating he was certainly going to score and had to celebrate. What young fella is going to have the guts to stand up then and so no, I don't feel like playing?


If every player and manager couldn't perform against ex-clubs that they still had an affection for the game would be a farce every Saturday. What makes Wilf so special - or is it immaturity? - that he is able to get away with it in the eyes of some Palace fans?

Sentimentality, that's what.
-----------------------------------------------

I am loath to critique you given your post a couple of days ago but, even within your own logic, this doesn't make sense.

You said the player was at fault for not telling the manager he is not focused enough. And my point is OGS had made it impossible for him to have that discussion.


Edited by Mapletree (08 Apr 2014 10.20am)

As if any player would say that to their manager because they are playing against a former club. It's absolutely ridiculous to suggest or expect that. Basically admitting that you haven't got the stomach to do your job, 'sorry gaffer I don't feel like playing today'. It's entirely the manager's decision to assess and pick the 11 men in the best physical and mental condition for the task in hand.

Don't get involved. They are only Welsh people who, until a few years ago couldn't even speak English!. Alf Garnet called then two legged pit ponies. And now they think they can play a ball game without picking the ball up. As for Zaha....well proves my point really.

Other way round, they are all desperate to learn Welsh now. A queue for evening classes. It's so they can talk to their kids who learn in Welsh at school. My mates kids say they are embarrassed when they speak English.

Amazing not one mention of their shambolic defending. If Cardiff do go down it will be nothing more than they deserve.
The way Malky Mackay was treated by the owner, you cannot take them seriously. Reading what the Cardiff fans post on their forum they think they have some god given right to be in the Premiership and stay there.

Well as we have learnt you have to fight all the way and get behind the team, but i see little of that in them.

Welsh passion my arse....
