It looks highly unlikely. I posted on their board before wishing them an enjoyable trip and some good banter. Not a fu.king dicky bird, as 'Arry would say
I will be kidnapping the laziest player and paddling with a board with nails in... woe betide anyone who fails to bother their backside this time..
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16002801 Gus Poyet will not be the only member of the Brighton staff with a special FA Cup tale to tell if the current squad need inspiration ahead of Sunday's dream fifth-round tie against Liverpool at Anfield. Seagulls players will no doubt be tapping into their manager's experiences of 12 years ago when his goal-laden FA Cup campaign played a pivotal role in Chelsea lifting the trophy in the last final to be played at the old Wembley. Poyet scored twice in the semi-final win over Newcastle in 2000, and a total of five goals in their successful cup run. But as far as giant-killing is concerned, the Uruguayan has nothing on Paul Rogers, the club's head of commercial services. Rogers, then a rangy, bustling midfielder, was an integral part of the Sutton United side that beat Coventry City in one of the biggest shocks in FA Cup history in 1989. It was the last time a non-league side beat a top-flight team in the famous old competition, and that record is safe for at least another year. Although Rogers, who went on to play for Sheffield United in England's top flight, must now focus on the financial side of football, he still has strong memories of an incredible day when Sutton United, a muddy Gander Green Lane, bricklayer and matchwinner Matthew Hanlan, and Rogers and company wrote themselves into FA Cup folklore. "We had a good side, some good individual players and had been together a long time," Rogers, 46, told BBC Sport.
Is there actually anyone on the Brighton board? It's boring when the other team doesn't even turn up!
As much as I'd like to see Flanny, Robbo, Coates etc I think the team will be pretty similar to the one we'll see for the cup final. As "the bearded one" said, it would be great to see Sterling get some game time (especially as I don't think Downing is earnig his place at the mo) but not sure that'll happen. I expect a tough game probably a tight first half and hopefully a few goals Kop end in the second Can't see Bellers being risked other than off the bench so I think Mandy and Luis up front and maybe a start for Maxi. 3.0 with goals from Suarez, Skrtel and Ch'Adam
I've grown up near Brighton and have begun to watch them play a lot in the last couple of years, so I know a bit about both sides. The match is obviously in Liverpool's favour, but I think it could be closer than most people think. In the last few years, Brighton have knocked out teams like Manchester City, Newcastle and Sunderland from Cups so they have the right mentality to cause an upset as well as a good team. Normally the 'Anfield factor' might play a big part, but we all know how Liverpool have been doing against teams fighting relegation. By the way, there's one main forum called North Stand Chat which most Brighton fans use, which is why no one has posted on here.

Pic 7 - Shelvey - "Right lads, who shaved a picture of a cock on the back of my head last night when I was pissed?" Gerrard looking at the floor = guilty.
