I'll have some of that me thinks.

Just out of curiosity - who do you want promoted ? Personally it's Leicester for me! It would be hilarious to get United, United-light 1 and United-light 2 in the same division.
If he's not a success I think we could see a Top meltdown thread.
If they only rely on him, they'll be in trouble but having that kind of player in their team will propably be a blessing, in the end.
Would love to see Palace in Premiership. It would be good experience for player, achieving success in a promotion campaign.

Biggest game of his career so far, let's see what he's made of.
I'm looking forward to this!
How brave would it be to get this lad on the back of your United shirt for next season?
Not brave at all, it's just a shirt.
Braver than just getting his name on there.
16 posts and promoted. Elvis II you are a legend!
Elvis 2.0
Crystal Palace, what is the point of me watching this game if you're not going to get Zaha into the game?
Where's he playing. Literally not seen him yet, although I am watching at work on a crap stream flicking between this and work.
Out on the right. Not been given a chance.
Won the ball twice mind you.

Palace playing shite.
Zaha involved a few times there in Palaces best period of play.
at Elvis.He did well from a very very tight corner there a few minutes ago.
There were several clubs interested and Palace had to cahs in but obviously wanted to keep him and go for promotion. Not sure if it was a condition, but it quite evident that few clubs can pay top dollar and let you have the guy for six more months. Offering those terms alone wiped other clubs out of contention. For us it was win-win as he was getting games and an important role in a side facing a tangible challenge. In fact, I think Fergie said something about how good it was for him to go through the experience of fighting for promotion.
I think everyone saw it as the best set up and that made it go through with minimal fuss.
Been quiet again. Looks good when on the ball.
better the Young though eh?
Ineffective first half.
He's a flair player, shit happens,
Seen him have some stormers this season.

Not impressed, have only seen him for one half mind. I'm afraid he will be a frustrating player like Nani.
He's provided some of Crystal Palace's best moves when he's actually got the ball, just getting dick all of it.
Looks good when he's on the ball. One thing that always impresses me is his vision and decision making. He almost always seems to make the right pass which is really promising.
A young winger being frustrating? No way.
He's been pretty rubbish since he's had none of the ball but the few times he's had it he's picked out 4 or 5 really nice passes after beating a man. At least he's got that going for him.
Unfortunately my stream chokes every 10 seconds for another 10 so I barely see what's happening here.
CP overall seems to be the weaker team though and Zaha doesn't seem to have much of an impact so far.

That's just clutching at straws. I'm sure he's very good, as I said, my opinion is merely based on 45 minutes of football, i.e. not a very educated one.
He looks to take people on. I like that.
With better players and more space, he's going to be a brilliant player. I can feel it.
If he fails, I never said this.

Palace have been in pretty woeful form for some time and it seems to be continuing tonight but Zaha has shown a few glimpes of his talent. It can't be easy for him out there tonight.
Agree with fergieisold about his decision making, it's impressive. Nani's biggest flaw when he came to United although it may have been better at Sporting.

Clutching at straws? That he gets his head up after beating a man rather than trying to take the whole team on himself or take a 30 yard shot? It's pretty clear that's his playing style...it doesn't say anything about how good he is. Always nice to have a winger that can combine a bit of flair with a cool head.
Quiet but he looks more talented than some of the dross out there tonight. I was a bit concerned by his defensive work early on. He looked a little lazy. Really poor quality half.
Debatable. Young is no major success even though I'm content with him.
People seem to keep forgetting how frustrating Ronnie was during his first year.
He might also be a player who doesn't reach his peak at 21 but maybe a few years later, like most players do.
rapes two defenders and again such a cool head and the perfect pass...
great run by zaha there.
Great play from Wilf there.
Brilliant from Zaha 
I'm giving up on this.
You guys have me to thank when he scores.
