You are in the wrong profession. You should be a sports journalistPalace as a club are (as we and many local businesses in south London all know) highly adept at utterly ripping people off. They're crafty two-bob spivs, always have been. And the fact that in this instance they managed to do this to Manchester United is not something I'll lose a lot of sleep over, in fact its quite funny. But it really was quite extraordinary the sheer amount of HYPE they managed to spin around Zaha. To any normal football-viewing person, he was a tricky winger who had severe balance issues in and around the box. Decent on his day, he could drop his shoulder and could sell more dummies than Mothercare, but ultimately he was flaky and inconsistent. Yet were to venture onto the pages of the BBS, you would think that you were reading about the Second Coming, the saviour of England - a combination of George Best, Pelé and Victor Moses. Christ, they even had gigantic POSTERS of him put up all around Croydon. Admittedly this was largely to cover up the charred and broken remains of the various burnt out firebombed slums while the council got the builders in, but even so - it worked ! He even got a hilarious cameo on the wing for Englands embarrassing stuffing in Sweden, at least offering some comic value on the night as he proceeded to, well, fall over a lot (as is the custom).
I think the signing of Zahahaha was probably Fergusons parting middle finger to the Glaziers on his way out. And fair play to Palace, they cashed in. But then they're pretty good at that. Just ask St Johns.
Anyway we've got Lua Lua and I believe he is no better or worse than either Zaha or Bolasie - similar type of player.

There was a great analysis of Zaha ( & Bolasie) by Joey Barton on 5live tonight. In essence, he described them both as very raw with little to no football intelligence. Their advantage as described by Barton was that it was difficult for their opponents to know what they were going to do with the ball because they did not even know themselves. His subsequent comparison with 'Rav' Morrison was interesting though, as he described him as a scholar of the game with huge amounts of football intelligence. Anyway we've got Lua Lua and I believe he is no better or worse than either Zaha or Bolasie - similar type of player.
I don't know who's more crazy you or joey Barton
This is my favourite ever Easy Ten post by a mile.

Him. To suggest that Kazenga f*cking Lua Lua is as good as Bolasie or Zaha is the funniest thing I've read all week
I think it might be hard for him to accept the enormous gap in the quality of our squads now. Watching us on MOTD with £5m+ players on our bench must make them think about what could have been if Zaha hadn't destroyed them at the Amex.

I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that you still don't have a single player in your squad capable of getting into our matchday 18. This isn't wholly surprising, because you're a relegation threatened Championship club and we're a midtable Premier League team.

That £73m you trousered last season for just being in the Prem league might be a factor here.
Be careful dear. Your squad of mercenaries and journeyman are exactly the sort of players who will get you relegated into league one of you go down to the Championship next season. It happens all the time. I've also noted that Pardew is good at getting consistent results, now his honeymoon period is over, he is just as likely to go on a winless ten game streak as he is to get a maximum points.
I recall a couple of years ago that the only fans that rated Bolasie were the Brighton fans, you lot thought he was no good.To suggest that Kazenga f*cking Lua Lua is as good as Bolasie or Zaha is the funniest thing I've read all week
