They’ve a better chance of qualifying for Europe through the league than through the Cup so I hope they win every PL until our game as they *might* start a slightly weaker team if they’re in a good position then.
Sorry to dissapoint you but there is very little chance of us playing a weakened team, De Zerbi will likely field a very strong line-up. Having watched us today v West Ham it was men v boys, we absolutely battered them! Arguably our best performance of the season so far. Your boys will have to be on it from the start and be alive to the pace of the game, you don't get any time on the ball at this level and mistakes are often punished. Our Japanese winger, Mitoma, is on fire and could cause you a lot of problems. It should be a cracking cup tie and atmosphere, can't wait !

I have been very impressed with Brighton this season and last. They play very good pass and move football, with speed and threat. They are on a totally different level to Southampton and I very much doubt we can live with them, but as ever with football, you never know.
Still can't believe we beat Everton all those years ago. They totally battered us for the entire game and were a very formidable team, but somehow we beat them with a wonder strike and backs to the wall defending.
The most one sided game against us we have won in my 50 years following Town

I have to admit I have a soft spot for Brighton. Just simply because of the way they conduct themselves and play football the right way. I enjoy watching them and Arsenal. I don't support anyone else except Grimsby but I do look out for BAHAFC results

He is a lifelong Brighton fan, his grandfather, father, uncle and now brother have all been involved for 50 odd years. A wealthy family but Tony surpassed all their wealth and some. He is a multi billionaire and has stated the next Chairman will be his son who is currently a child! The club has no debt apart from his personal investment which didn't require any borrowing. The "debt" is slowly being converted into shares at the benefit of taxes etc.
He will not lose interest anytime soon.
We are so lucky to have a good source of clean money and apart from that someone who is so clever with his use of analysis of all players worldwide.
Read an article about Tony Bloom a bit ago and then watched an interview because I was interested as he seems a bright fella and has managed to make a hell of a lot of money from something most of us just lose at -gambling . He has some of the biggest single wins on the horses ever and when younger was a professional poker player -amazing what hes done with your club.

Think the reality of the task ahead hit home watching the Brighton highlights last night!
However, a win would be the biggest in our history (and one of the biggest in FA Cup history) and the excitement for that won’t fade in the next 2 weeks.

If I get tickets I'm going with 0 expectations of any sort of result. I just want us, as the fans, to really get behind the team like we did at Southampton. Show the world who we are and why a player should play for us. I have to say, how poor was Carlisles support? Never heard a single word from them. As the Grimsby fans sang "just like a library"

You often don't get any time on the ball at lower levels as players go flying in, often we get a bit more time against a team that wants to play football. Obviously though the moment you lose it you are far more likely to be punished against a quality team such as yourselves.

Was it Chelsea that gave Scunny the full gate receipts from their cup match a while back? That’d be nice wouldn’t it? Brighton don’t need the cash, would be a nice PR boost for them. I’ll send Mr Bloom an email
