    Brighton are actually one of the best sides in the league over the same period Newcastle have been one of the worst, so I'm picking Brighton to go through unfortunately.

    I suppose they might prioritise the PL and play a second string, but we will probably keep risking our better players, so maybe it's a pick em.

    Expecting a big crowd for this one.

    For a start I'm going with my big brother.

    Moody isn't he

    Goes through spells of being alright and then suddenly he's popping at people, going on breakdowns and then whinges a bit about it

    Specifically if they hold a different football opinion

    Then he vanishes

    Brighton aren't having the best season, very erratic, but they always seem to do well against us. They were crap when they beat us at SJP and we should've won, but they sneaked it. Really wanna beat them here tbh, hate the way they always seem to get the better of us. Prediction - dunno, I guess a lot depends on Joe and Botman being back, and they need to games before the final too.

    Can't get excited for this one, best chance in years of winning the FA fricking Cup, but we'd probably get beat by the worst Man City or Man Utd team in the last 10yrs.

    He'd had half a can of shandy, so that was his best effort.

    He's now got no right to be critical of any player for a lack of effort.

    We cannot lose this game. If we do I’m concerned we are losing far to many games at home.

    Brighton are playing very well just now, so I wouldn't be too concerned if we lose.

    There's litterally 3 at the top and 3 and the bottom and then everyone in between is more than capable of beating eachother.

    I would hope we were capable of beating the bottom 3. As well as the trans in second and third. Oh and I'm the cup we should be capable of beating the team in first.

    We've lost 4 games out of 18 at home this season <confused>

    Brighton are ok, just not at the level they were last season, they usually do well against us, but I think we'll have it here.
