I've been waiting for the next "Obsessed" comment so thanks for providing it.
You really can't have it both ways.
You can't both say we are "obsessed" with you, then pass comment that we've not sold out our game against you (yet, anyway) as the later indicates the absolute opposite of...
You've got to feel for all those players who thought they finally had a chance of snatching the oh-so-coveted "Best player outside the top 6" title that Wilf has kept such a firm grip on.
They'll all have to carry on being Premier League nobodies, and just hope that sooner rather than later...
Unless he gets injured. And given you and yours maintain that every single opposition player is out to maim him*, that could well happen.
(ignoring tha fact that it's Palace players who tend to injure themselves trying to maim the opposition)
I think the suggestion from some Palace fans is that Zaha's love for the club is so great that he doesn't want to take any more money away from it.
Yep - I'm sure it's that.
No chance.
The narrative will move on from "He's not going anywhere, he's bought into what we are doing here" to "We absolutely rinsed Chelsea - we couldn't say no to a zillion pounds that allows us to replace Wilf with 5 more Wilfs."
Ah, and there was the rest of the world thinking you'd had managerial **** up after managerial **** up.
Who knew that despite the utter shambles it has appeared to have been, it was by design. He's a genius, for sure.
Oh, so it's no longer a case that you'll try to keep hold of him for another year, but he's now pledged his long-term future to Palace. Great news for you guys. Where was this reported?
Unlikely, from the day he first kicked a football his dream was to pull on the famous red and blue stripes and ply his trade in one of world football's most iconic stadia.
Nothing could stop him completing his dream move.
Touted around Europe, no one wanted him and he ends up at Palace. Forgive me my lack of envy right now.

So too expensive for everyone else, but not for Palace.
We've seen how this sort of thing ends up in Croydon before. Palace's creditors should be calling in their debts soon-ish.
He sounds like a nice lad, ego-free and unlikely to cause any trouble at all. Should fit right in.
"However he fell out with the Schalke hierarchy after failing to agree a new contract last season. The Bundesliga club were unwilling to meet Meyer’s wage demands and banished him from training in...
In fairness to TypicalPalace, you could pluck any 10-year-old playing football from any park in the country and stick him in the Palace goal and it would improve their starting Xi.
You may be or you not be - there's really no way of knowing.
However I very much doubt what you have minus Zaha is ahead of us. Granted if you don't have Zaha then you will have a pot of cash to spend, but one thing your club has excelled at is pissing money up against a wall season after...
