    Yeah it's bollocks. We were told that the new stadium would allow us to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona, and here we are scrapping it out with Wolves, Burnely and Sheff Utd. Kronke is a useless ****, he needs to put his ****ing hands in his pocket, because in Arteta we have got a decent manager, but you can't expect him to work miracles with a squad that is littered with duds.

    What exactly you basing him being a decent manager on? Surely a bit early for that.

    how do you know he's a decent manager? It's his first job, could be the next Klopp, but could equally be the new Steve Kean.

    You can see what he's trying to do, and he's improved us from the **** show that was Emery. It's going to take time though, and personnel. We beat Liverpool and Man City and then lost to Villa. That sums up where we are as a club right now.

    Yeah I know. That's why Arteta is a **** one.

    If you lot beat them next week then he'll be a very **** one.

    emulate mourinho? Bus parking football only works against teams who attack so it makes sense

    Zaha looks set on leaving Palace. He's 27 now, so it's now or never for him really.

    Would have loved him at Arsenal, but we've got Pepe now so that ain't happening. Would Everton come back in and splash £70m on him ? would that even be much of a step up for Zaha ?

    Richarlison has already outscored Vardy in 2020 to date.

    Facts again.

    State of us? State you ffs claiming someone as a decent manager who's led you to your worst league finish in a generation in his first job.

    heard zahas going on the cheap as realistically no one is going to pay 70m pre covid let alone during recent times.

    They've seen how **** he played this season (basically toys out of the pram) so i highly doubt they are going to force him to stay again

    No ****er is paying £70m for Zaha in the current market and post a very average season from him.

    If he moves on, it’ll be for way less than that. Palace should have took the money we put on the table last summer.

    Yeah, he wants out badly. And he's had a **** season. Palace aren't really in a position to play hardball this time around.
