Joel Ward

He'd try and help defensively, but it was never really his game.

So you wouldn't really expect him to be tracking back because he normally had Wan-Bissaka there or Joel Ward there.

But Brennan Johnson did not look interested whatsoever.

And that effed off a lot of fans.

Joel Ward mate Joel Ward Danny Ward keeper Joel Ward former right back of AFC Bournemouth

Joel Ward yeah Joel Ward Sorry, sorry, Joel and Danny.

Joel Ward was analysed in the penalty and you could see Kluivert, he looks at the keeper, he does for every penalty, he looks at the keeper instead of looking at the ball, which I could never do in my great career of playing football.

Are you talking about the co-coms?

Because it was definitely Robbie Savage.

I watched the TNT highlights and then I was listening to 606 last night and Robbie Savage said he was at the game.

Robbie

Some would call him a Crystal Palace legend.

Ward, Joel Ward.

I've met him as well.

He's my primary school mate's cousin.

let's

oh sorry just before just before we do I've got I've got to give one shout out and I should have said this earlier when we were talking about the Royal Parks but at the end of the race I um I bumped into Joel Ward uh Crystal Palace player former Crystal Palace player and uh actually interrupted him I didn't realize he was on the phone he was on a FaceTime to his family done his first half marathon was having the family call saying well done and I busted in and uh yeah and interrupted him and did a kind of whole footballer um yeah And I just wanted to say thanks for being a good sport and not, you know, he should have bothered me off immediately.

But yeah, and he did 124 for his first half.

So he's going to be listening now, he will.

So big up Joel for doing 124 first half and being really kind and not,

yeah.

Joel Ward played for three other teams, Kieran.

England? No, I don't know.

And I think when you've got one player that's so far above...

Now, I don't think that in 2016 that Joel Ward and Damian Delaney and Tompkins or whoever was playing in that team were the equivalent of me in that side.

But...

Wilf was clearly the player who was going to make things happen, especially once Balassi had gone.

I would go a little bit more Glasnable and I would have someone like Ismail Assar playing in this game so he can go a little bit more direct.

Joel Ward's a free agent, right? Should we just sign him on a one game contract with his obviously unbeaten record against Brighton in the hope of continuing that? But yeah, obviously big week, Matt.

Presumably any kind of positive result at the Amex plus something in France would represent a pleasing week for you.

Absolutely,

Okay.

What do Joel Ward and Ebu Adams have in common? Anyone wanna have a guess?

Did they, did they both score equalizers at Fratton Park?

Yeah.

So we go from that season, 2012.

They had to have played in any game between Pompey and Saints between, obviously, which is not a load of games anyway, between the game we drew one-one at our place with Joel Ward scored to draw up until present day.

And then it's the appearances they made for that club.

Okay.
