Moses

borrowed from Jesuswalk.com

All hail a new king is born at Selhurst and his name is Victor Moses. A while ago I blogged about Bostock making his debut for Palace and said something along the lines of yeah he is good but it's Moses you need to watch out for....

Today I finally got my first "live" viewing of the young prodigy. I was taken back just how good he looked and how good he is going to be, he glides with the ball and does some stuff where he is away from the ball but the ball is under total control, it is a strange thing to see that this young 17 year old just shift his body and the ball seems to be gone but then it is back again under his feet. Incredible.

The only part of his game I dont like and I'm sure Warnock will beat it out of him is that he goes down like he has been shot. I'm sure it is hard for a 17 year old to keep getting hit by tackles but he does seem to go down a tad easy but then he still needs to toughen up. His game is missing a bit of speed and determination but he is young and the good times are coming.

Yes I finally got to my first game since New years day and it was great to be back :-) I got some stick from the gents around me but not too much. The only problem I had was that I drove so that I could leave a bit earlier to give a hand with bathtime and I would not of been able to get back fast enough on the trains. It took 1 1/2 hours there and the same back with clear traffic so a bit quicker then the trains but as I say it was clear on the roads. From Berko I ended up going right round the M25 and up A3 to miss the traffic going through London and it seemed OK. Was strange going that way as it was the way I used to drive (up A3) until I moved to London. Things dont 'alf change and it seemed like a different route. The TomTom kept trying to send me different ways but I stuck with the route that I learnt as a lad and sometimes I wonder why I took the TomTom but the speed camera warnings were good. Next time though I will try the way it says once I leave the A3 at Raynes Park.

Oh and I missed the winning goal by Prince Harry AKA Watson as I left at 4.25 and he scored as I turned the radio on in the car :-( Still 2-1 to the Palace so happy.

Are you sure your stat counter is right Simmo? I remember looking at a month ago and it being on 8000ish? Still I could be wrong!

Moses looked good in the couple of cup games that I went to see this season. I hope we don't end up being a feeder club (like Crewe have been in the past) and end up selling our most talented youngsters. Grabban's doing nicely at M*llw*ll, isn't he?
