I certainly don’t admire him because he’s a thug, more his style of play which is physical, direct, works hard, scores goals and is passionate about Watford. I’d love a striker like that for us. He comes across as quite a decent bloke and is possibly a reformed man after spending time in prison, surely a good thing?

His comments about how they kick Wilf in turns is not a surprise, I’m fairly sure half the teams in the Prem have the same tactic, but he’s the only player who comes out and says it which I find refreshing. If he said the same about Eden Hazard we wouldn’t give two hoots.

Plastic club. Brighton of the north, not a London club, plastic fans with half and half Arsenal/Spurs scarfs. Unfairly labled as plucky when the business they have done especially to get promoted was dodgy as.

He’s scored 33 Prem goals, if he was a Championship target man he’d be playing in the Championship.

I’m his interviews I believe he comes across as a decent bloke, a reformed character. I am aware of his past and it seems (I could be wrong) he’s learned his lesson and is better for it. He wasn’t boasting about trying to injure Wilf, he was describing the tactics.

Anyway, I don’t want to be praising the opposition captain anymore on match day. Let’s agree that we have different views on it.

Zaha is 7/2 to get a yellow card today, worth lumping on that I reckon given their targeting of him and his temperament.

What odds for zaha booked and deeney to score?

Bound to happen as I've been slaughtering him all week.

I think the only good thing that Goal machine really means to say is that he was honest enough to come out with the information about stopping Wilf, we all imagine and think teams organise such behaviour but to actually hear it from the horses mouth removes any imagining.

There is a way of stopping players from playing by blocking and getting in their way etc but this really is a huge big issue about destroying the game we all love watching and entertainment is what it's all about, brief moments of fun, brief moments when Zaha beats players and creates huge amounts of fun, they do not happen very often because football can be incredibly tedious, we've all tried watching another game where the outcome has no relevance!
Every fan dreams for these brief moments and here is this football team telling us they purposely destroy them, but the question is how many of these players are actually involved in it? is it all of them? or just a few?..and then how many other teams are also doing it?, Huddersfield had a good go didn't they.

Now no football team is going to say they are going to let certain players play against them and create opportunities and of course we all understand that, but officials need to be able to realise what is happening before them, Zaha told them and got perilled publicly, now Watford players have told them ..what are they going to do about it?
