Bolton want him (bad move for Zaha IMHO but who cares ?) May not be an issue. As a matter of fact, how will they deal with Buckley ?

Wait - did you not watch their match against Cardiff (who we creamed at theirs) and our match last night against a top-half Premiership side?
Zaha, for one, was so ineffectual - a total paper tiger of a player. The defender nicked the ball off him so many times I had to wonder if this was a schoolboy I was watching.
He couldn't beat his man.
We have players who can get past defenders, outstrip them for speed and send them the wrong way.
If our players have good team-work up front and we keep a discipline (should they try to rile us), then we need have no fear against the lower-half opposition cristal palace.

Calderon has looked very dodgy lately. Doesn't seem to be on the pace or want to put the foot in.
Still a bit of a cult hero to me.

Hopefully it will be Reyes that is coping with him!

Did you watch the same game as me? Agreed that palace were an embarrassment to the championship with the way they played, but Zara always looked a threat they double manned him most of the time and he still managed to riggle free. The way to beat him is wind him up which Cardiff did in the end and then he is done

Why would my family be anything to do with this?
Zaha just didn't make me 'fear' his incredible ability. I can't see what the fuss is about him.
Is he one of your family? And would you even know if he was from the same father?

He looked more form than function in my opinion.
Whenever he collected the ball he did a little body language as if to suggest "now things are going to get special", but when he didn't lay it off he simply ran the ball and the defender stuck a foot in, took it off him. That's not "scary" in my opinion, or perhaps I've seen too many good players who were able to emulate Pele a bit better than that.
I don't seem to care about his age either it seems. I don't see whay Aquilaugh thinks that the tardis will enable him to access some future skills in time for tuesday night

Personally I don't think Calde had a bad game at all yesterday and if we do have Reyes would love to see him in the middle with Liam and JFC or Sparrow.

empire is already muttering the tune "Zaha, Zaha will tear us apart again"
I am certain the "FFS [*player name here*]" exclamation will rear it's head again, but we'll just have to see who that refers to. Let's hope it's not the ref's name either.

Spaz will do him before 10 minutes are up 
I thought Calderon was getting beaten and caught out of position a fair bit early in the game yesterday, but then noticed that the defence started to shift when Newcastle attacked down that side. Greer moved to right back with Caldy, dunk and el abd moved across one, and Barnes dropped into left back.
