I can see Zaha's expected move ending in tears if Chelsea are his only suitors and if he's desperate to go there. Chelsea will be bidding far less than the £80m that's being quoted.
If they offer only say, £55m on a take it or leave it basis, what will Palace decide to do?

He's looking a bit stressed again.

Why are some on here so worried. We won at Arsenal, so we are more than capable of winning at Palace. We are in good form, scoring goals and I expect us to win.

Our record without Dale Stephens is almost as bad as Palace's record without Zaha. So I wouldn't put any stock in their injury troubles.

In my experience when we play an injury ravaged team it usually doesn't go well for us.

I find that is often true for every team, at least for a game or two when the injuries first happen. There is something about having a bad injury list; a mix of fringe players stepping up to stake a claim, and that 'everyone's against us' mentality that can carry you through a match or two.

Actually that isn’t true about Stephens but is an example of how he is just naturally a bit over rated on this site.

We actually picked up 7 points from 3 games in the 3 matches he was suspended after Cardiff away which a lot of people on here seem to have forgotten about. One of those games was also the win at home to Palace, our best performance of the season. We also won at home to West Ham without him.

He missed 8 league games last season and we picked up 11 points in those games and two of those games we lost were against Man City which we’d have lost had he played anyway.

We’re nowhere near as reliant on him as a lot seem to think. I’m looking forward to seeing how we set up without him.

Stephens, Izzy and March far more a miss for us. Only adds to the big favourites tag the franchise have. All the pressure is on them after last seasons annihilations, one with 10 men, so fully expect their prem league squad with 4 extra years and finances in it, as well as their crippling wages they pay to comfortably beat us. They will have to win the next 10 in a row to make honours even given last seasons 2 shock wins for BHA (1901) - fully expect a CP2010FC routine win of course.

Speculation that Cahill is next one out.

So uch is being made across media of Palace's injury woes, it's setting them up nicely for a 'surprise upset' or a gallantly fought point. Sigh.
