This. We love good natured banter with Palace fans, but in the real world, I know quite a few Palace fans and they are all decent people. I also know a few Chelsea fans, and I can't say the same about them.
Having watched much of yesterday's match, I'd suggest they will be looking to get free kicks near our area. Before last night 32% of their goals came from set pieces.
Ignoring the banter, I would agree that many (not just on here) thought you would struggle trying to integrate a new manager / playing style whilst also replacing many players you've lost. However, you seem to have brought in a number of promising players and you don't appear to be obvious...
I'm sure if we're talking about the Albion / Palace rivalry thing, their biggest fear would be to get relegated whilst we stay up, particularly as we're setup to prosper in the future, whilst they are bucking the trend with their old / decrepit stadium and overpaid but under performing 'stars'.
I doubt very very much that Zaha would ever consider moving here. He gets the rivalry and genuinely dislikes the Albion... he's their version of Ian Chapman.
