we should win this easily 0-3.
But then they have Zaha.
He's capable of turning matches for them against us apparently

It's a difficult one. Auba is crap at holding up the ball Laca is great. Laca can't finish to save his life and Auba is a poaching master.
Tough weight up. I all honesty I can't see why Auba can't become better at holding up the ball. He's 6ft tall, he just needs to be more dominant and agressive.

TBH I think this weekend will see us lose our lead over you and our league places reversed, despite our recent record against you. Palace are decimated by injuries and those players left are running on fumes after the Christmas programme - as was evident with our strongest team available capitulating to Derby in the cup.
Doubtful Zaha will play (with Luka our penalty converter also out) as Wilf has been carrying an injury for the last month or so. I would expect a rearguard action against a resurgent Arsenal team which, with a tough run of matches, will be a taste of things to come over the next month or so until reinforcements hopefully arrive.
If Zaha does play, it will truly be Zaha FC and maybe a last chance for you to play him if, as seems possible, he is Bayern Munich bound...
Munich bound?
Are Munich willing to pay the 80m you guys are asking for Zaha?
I thought Munich were going to go all out for Sane this summer.

Who knows. But Wilf, in staying on another season, hopefully keeping us up, and with another year off his contract term, has earned a reduction in the asking price. I would expect him to go in the Summer for guaranteed CL No more than he deserves.

League is very weak
Palace won’t ask anywhere near 80M from Bayern for him.

Hopefully Zaha misses this either through not being fully fit or because of all the transfer speculation....really like Palace and their fans are amazing but really want them to have an awful start to the weekend on Saturday

No chance Bayern pay 80M for Zaha, cheapest super club going them.

Classic case of the team thinking they just have “ to turn up” to win this one, lets hope we don’t make the same mistake.

My XI that I want to see:
Leno
AMN - Sokratis - Luiz -Kolasinac
Torreira - Xhaka
Pepe - Özil - Martinelli
Auba.
This kind of games, we need much speed to attack them. We will be defensively and if we can go to attack, we will do the fastest as possible.

If Hodgson has any sense he won't risk Zaha. The reason he is a doubt in the first place is because he played him against Norwich when he wasn't quite ready to play. Now he has so many other players injured, to risk Zaha again with a real chance it will aggravate his injury would be daft imo.

Why do these "Next Arsenal Match" banners between posts say "cry arsenal?"

We may be forced to play Zaha if the latest assessments of players available can be believed. We do not appear to have a fit full-back (left or right) available in the entire first team squad or the U23s combined, so Zaha's tracking-back skills might be called upon to help deal with Pepe!
Zaha has amazing powers of recovery from injury, so the 10 days he will have had since Norwich might turn out to be sufficient to patch him up and send him out.
Personally, I would rest him for Arsenal (and Man City the following week) . A couple of weeks ago I would have fancied our chances against you, but the new Arteta Arsenal now looks a stretch too far for us and I wouldn't want to risk Zaha in what may well be a bad-tempered derby match as we attempt to park the bus.

We should win this. Palace are stretched thin at the moment.
If we don't beat this palace team, then we should forget about fighting for the last cl spot

Went all the way to Croydon to some girls place after a house party on New Year’s Day, only to get there and for her to change her mind because she knew my ex or some crap like that.
Long story short I hate everybody from South London and Croydon is ****ing far.

It's not you had a full roster earlier in the season when you played us off the park in the second half. IIRC, you guys were missing a few first teamers.
