It's a disgrace. The Premiership is touted as the best league in the world and it certainly is exciting as lower teams with less able players are often able to win against the odds. However in many cases this is achieved through a series of tactics that involve near criminal assaults against the more talented players on the field.

I know that the governing bodies are loathe to involve retrospective action but, if a player sustains a serious injury after a bad tackle from an opponent (which could be verified by an independent medical and refereeing panel), perhaps a retrospective red card for the player concerned would make his manager less keen to encourage the 'agricultural' brand of football that Wilf has to endure week in, week out.

For now we need to provide some urgent attacking cover. We've, quite rightly, focussed recently on strengthening our defence but we're worryingly light on attacking options.

Meanwhile, get well SOON Wilf.

Crystal Palace - dull it's not!

In the second half the number 2 for Huddersfield stopped Wilf from passing him on the halfway line by holding and pulling him back with no other defender directly behind him.. a bookable offence and would've been his second yellow, but Jon Moss in his infinite wisdom didn't book him/send him off.. I don't think he even spoke to him..

The loss of Zaha for at least 4 games is a severe blow, even at this early stage of the new season.
Hopefully,Steve will release funds for some much needed reinforcements in order to support Frank in his 'dutch' revolution,which has already come under immense scrutiny from many, after 1 game!!

We're to naive and nice to do that.

Hang on there was a thread on here "Zaha left ground on crutches" and theres a link in there to an evening standard piece saying he's ok and its just precautionary. Hopefully its fake news/mindgames.

Regardless of protection from the ref, none of them would give Wilf any decisions if they didn't have to, why aren't the rest of the team getting in the ref's ear?!
