    I was just wondering what everyone's predictions are for the Brighton game and what line-up you would all go for...

    My line-up

    Krul

    Simpson Williamson Coloccini Santon

    HBA Cabaye Guthrie Jonas

    Lovenkrands Best​



    Due to the fact that Man City are out and one of Man Utd/Liverpool are going out as well as tricky away ties for Chelsea and Tottenham...the likelihood of the FA Cup final being contested between two teams that will already be in Europe is diminishing. Therefore, in my opinion, we need to go all out to win this game and with a bit of luck in the draws we could get to the FA Cup final and a potential spot in Europe would be up for grabs. Obviously Ameobi is doing everyone's heads in at the moment with his lack of, well...anything! So I would start Lovenkrands up front, because him and Best worked well together at the back end of last season.

    My score prediction is 3-1 to Newcastle with goals from Ben Arfa, Best & Cabaye. What do you think the line-up & score will be?

    Agreed play strongest team possible. Plus Lover did link up well with Best last year but havent seen much of him this year so who knows. That team should have enough to get past Brighton or at the very least bring it back for a replay at SJP when we will have the Dembas available

    Edited for you ;)

    Regarding Lovenkrands he looked alright in the Carling Cup when he played and is certainly a better option than Ameobi!

    I think we should try and get into Europe via the FA cup, relying on 6/7th is a route for disappointment.

    Agreed although you would fancy Liverpool to win the CC Cup. So would be relying on the FA Cup final being between Man U/ Liverpool, Tottenham , Chelsea or arsenal. With several rounds remaining this list will soon be whittled down.

    We should be going all out for the cup cause on our day we can match anyone especially at home.

    Are the semis played at wembly? would love a trip to london

    I would like a good cup run but I'd also like 6th place in the league.

    Without signing 2/3 more players over the next 5 days we cant have both, still I'd like to think we can beat Brighton.

    A central defendeer and a bit of luck with injuries and the world's our oyster (assuming that to be a good thing)
