Zaha injured and hasn't travelled according to @Teamnewsandtix / Leakedlineups on instagram. Usually reliable

Injured or a smokescreen as there’s actually some truth in the Arsenal links?

they'll probably spam newcastle strategy, pep and the lads need to be ready. I really hate these mediocre teams that excel in the counter, always give us trouble

Now reported in the Athletic, Zaha out. Good news for us.

Zaha out will be good news for us. Otherwise, he would've caused headaches on the counter.

According to various twitter accounts (yeah ok I know) Zaha's out.
Good news for us if true.

I thought we were away , feel better now , just need a decent start , crisp and no fucking about if we go ahead

I thought you had cut down drinking ?

 

[paulchapo]

Go on Pep you tell them!

I think we will win tomorrow but Palace home tends to be tough. I’d settle for a 2-0

I`ll take 1-0 against Palace, 3 pts is 3 pts
