Wilfried Zaha Fires Back at Twitter Troll after Crystal Palace Victory over Manchester United

Wilfried Zaha wasn’t letting a Twitter troll bring him down after Crystal Palace defeated Manchester United.

As a Red Devils fan, it sucks to write this but the Eagles traveled to Old Trafford and ran out 3-1 winners over United last weekend in a Premier League game. You know the whole story already, perhaps better than I do.

That’s not even the gist. But if you’re still in the dark as to what could have caught the headlines other than the fact that the defeat put an end to a 14-game unbeaten run in the top-flight for the hosts, then here’s it.

A Twitter user @Atopa_Gangster went frolicking for attention on the micro-blogging media, and sure enough, got some. Obviously Palace winger Wilfried Zaha was feeling extra bouncy after playing a huge part in putting his former employers to the sword…

And then our jolly good fellow, Atopa took it upon himself to school the Ivorian..

As a matter of fact, the problem is that Twitter is filled with a lot of bullshit so much so that one finds it somewhat hard to pick out the worst of the bunch. It is after all, readily accessible to all and sundry, right?

But sarcasm aside, this right here reeks of fairly nebulous sh**. If any other fan is most pained by that defeat, it is me. But I’m not buying the idea of a random fan chiding and reminding a professional of how best to use his media, at least in this case. No. Not at all.

To acerbically posit that he, Wilfried Zaha is ‘still playing for Palace’ is good enough reason to disregard such tweet as merely chaff. Would it not be right if people stick to what basically concerns them on this bird app, and save themselves the stress of nose-poking into matters in acidic manners such like this?

It just helps that the clap back from Wilfried gZaha was spot on, and thoroughly deserved.

So about this game in which Victor Lindelof was disappointing enough to have his image put under the dictionary meaning of that word, and Timothy Fosu-Mensah clearly coming away with the marks of a loan spell to Leyton Orient with an option to buy written all over him, it was a Twitter banter that has got tongues wagging.
