A few people are awaiting an apology from you for your silly comment. So where is it?

It won't happen. Flakes more than a Cadbury's factory, so you won't see her for some time.
So you did know it was racist then?

Glory hunting since 1969
I stand on the Wayne Hennessy defence, I’m too thick to even comment.
The context of that makes it seem racist. But the context of the fried chicken comment was that HMRC had been investigating Parish (and Murray) about ownership of a chain of fried chicken restaurants. That's the context. That's not racist.
There was no link between chicken and Zaha until you just made reference there. The key point is in bold. You didn't read the thread, so don't jump to conclusions.

Like a lot of things I'm sure this will come down to how much money Zaha wants. He's told Palace he wants to leave to join the team he supported as a club but significantly hasn't handed in a transfer request. Last summer they made him the highest paid player in their history, which is significant in this case, because Palace will have to pay off the rest of his contract if he moves unless he hands in transfer request. So unless he does so, Palace will ask for silly money to compensate them for paying off his contract and the sell on clause Man Utd have. If Zaha is serious about moving to Arsenal he will have to forfeit the money from the rest of contract and hand in a transfer request. Otherwise Palace will hold out.
Does Harry Maguire have a history of going to a big club and failing?
Zaha is a good player, but he also has an attitude problem. A big club signing him would be taking a risk.
Good point.
I accept that it's possible to be racist towards black people by making certain comments about fried chicken (as explained by someone else, due to the link to slaves in the US frying chicken). But most of us down south wouldn't ever think of such a link. There have been many comments on Kaz's love of Nandos, and no one has ever suggested that's racist.
How the **** can a British man in his 30s not know that a Nazi salute is a, well, Nazi ****ing salute?
Classic troll that is allowed to get away with this type of rubbish. Needs a lengthy ban.
The 26 year old Triggzaha may well have got a little bit titsy, by now, if his failure as a 20 year old at David Moyes' Utd was still being held against him.
That said Zaha is a knobber.
But a knobber capable of singlehandedly and repeatedly keeping a show of shite in the Premier League.
Whereas we were left with an entire squad seemingly hell bent of getting relegated.

It was just an unfortunate camera angle, he was waving to a friend
Heil Hitler...Mein Fuhrer...come and have some Bratwurst unt Shnitzel.
Eh? Have you just made that up?
Ok - so why aren't all the big 6 clubs fighting over this £100m superstar?
"Crystal Palace have been left incensed by Arsenal's approach to sign Ivory Coast winger Wilfried Zaha.
The Gunners have offered £40m, which will not even be considered.
Palace value Zaha at around £80m and are furious with Arsenal for what they believe to be a ham-fisted attempt to destabilise the Ivorian and secure a cut-price deal.
They would expect a drastically higher fee than the £50m Manchester United paid them for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Wan-Bissaka is a 21-year-old right-back with limited experience and no international caps; Zaha is a 26-year-old winger with vast experience and a full international.
Zaha signed a new five-year contract last summer, which recognised his importance to the team and club by making him by far the highest-paid player in Palace history.
Given the player had been keen to leave at that point, the agreement was reached on the basis that the Eagles had not received any credible offers and the understanding that if the situation changed in the future they would let him leave.
Palace's stance on that has not altered - they will reluctantly sanction Zaha's departure if the price is right, but they do not view Arsenal's bid as credible.
A key issue for Palace is the sell-on clause inserted into Zaha's contract when he returned to south London from Manchester United for around £6m in 2015, which entitles the Red Devils to 25% of any profit if Zaha exits Selhurst Park.
Although Zaha's brother has publicly pleaded with Palace to reach an agreement with Arsenal, in order for the winger to "realise his dream of playing European football for the club he has supported since childhood" - the Eagles are unmoved.
Palace believe Arsenal's method in this case is outdated and naive.
They have no intention of lowering their valuation and are confident that Zaha's relationship with the club is long-standing and strong enough to ensure he resumes his duties without a problem if a move does not come to fruition."
The club that just keeps on giving
This ends one way, and one way only - acrimoniously.

Apparently according to the "secret footballer", if a player is under contract the club he is under contract to pay off the rest of his contract, unless he hands in a transfer request. That's why so many players are reluctant to hand one in because they lose their contract money. It also explains why Zaha told Palace he wants to leave, but didn't actually hand in a transfer request. But presumably it would have a knock on effect on the transfer fee. If a player hands in transfer request and the club no longer have to pay off his contract then presumably they don't need to ask for as much money.
