Albion and Crawley face Premier League opposition in FA Cup (From The Argus)

I don't suppose gusset will field the reserves for this one then

Excellent draw. Really enjoyed last years game and we have a stronger squad now.

It was bound to be a glamour tie as I am out of the country ... grrrr !!

Great draw, really exciting prospect. Lets hope history is repeated again. Doubt Shola Ameobi will be a transfer target for us now in January. Shame cos I reckon he could be just the forward we are looking for.

In true festive spirit, Ba humbug... Get it...? Oh well never mind. Wonder if Kaz will get a look in - guess it will all depend on the famous injury list.

Plz all note there was know sign of Vicente name on the back of yesterdays programme out of 38 players.Or was freeloader Anton Rodgers name there but we still both pay them money.I said at the time Bridge got the injury he would be out for weeks but you all told me i was wrong.Poyet talks out his backside just one or two games he said at first lol.Freeloading drunks like LuaLua,Hammond,Croft
,and Dobbie are all on much more money than Murray & thats just pure FACT im sorry to say.

Happy, happy, happy. Is it really such a bad time to be a Brighton fan?

Nice home draw for the Reds. We havn't beaten prem oppo in 3 attemps in the last 18 months. Hopefully, with Reading looking for league points we might be able pinch a win on the blind side !

I didn't notice that in the programme, bit late now as I always pick up a discarded one or two of them and use them for toilet paper, well thay are not worth reading like our award winning publication.

And then it must have won an award then ? Oh yea I forgot the best toilet paper 100% satisfaction better than Andrex and pick em up for free on the Crodon slum of a stadium, that you will say is 100% better than the Amex and cheaper.

No Selhurst park is a dump but a very good hard working side will be playing prem-league football there next season.Stop looking at things with your blue & white glasses on & watch the game back again if can on player.Watch what happens when we get a free kick,or more to the point how little does happen.You will see Poyet & Oatway do very little work on the training ground.

Nah you won't be there if you do for long, and I can't watch iplayer, for one just landed in Spain, we are just a decent striker away from the top, you only had one more shot on goal according to stats let's see what happens when 11v11 I think things might be a little more balanced

It's true to say that all of us can only work with what we have, the squad has limitations and we wonder why.

The Newcastle game will be a chance to give others a chance whilst calling on the bulk of out regular starting eleven.

Decisions were made to let this player go or bring that player in and in part some of those decisions were guided by the board, wage caps for instance.
Brighton would appear to have three or four decent youngsters, players that I hope get their chance against Newcastle, not for the last twenty minutes but from the get go, we don't, 'have,' to win this game.
I hope that both Gus and the board have learned from the past and have, or will very shortly, signed the young players on a contract good enough to keep them.

You and I are not privy to any conversations that might take place between Gus and the board, neither now or in the recent past. Is it possible that Gus has been told that he can't spend more than a rigid budget given to him, yes. Is it possible that Gus wanted the wage cap raised or lifted for certain players, yes. It is also possible that Gus had a free hand and bought the players he wanted and money was not a stumbling block, but I doubt that.

January is the next opportunity to buy and sell but it's also the opportunity to let the young lads have at it with Newcastle, who knows, we might not need to buy untill the end of the season if the lads deliver..

Albion v Premier League Newcastle Utd in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup. Should be a great match in front of a full house at the Amex. So why am I not excited and filled with 'can't wait' enthusiasm? Is it the cost just after Christmas? Is it the Amex has made matches against big teams no different to any other? Has the FA Cup lost it's magic or does The Championship just matter more?

Think football is over hyped on tv, we are told every game this player is world class, blah blah, and truth is we don't have a English player that would get a game for Spain, or even Barcelona.. To much football on tv for me,

I suspect we all feel too chastened and dispirited by the weekend's events to get the buzz yet. I'm sure nearer the time that will kick in. It will be another positive opportunity to test the squad against the Premiership standard, and it will be great fun!

er, because it's libellous and there are pretty severe penalties for that in the UK. Your call .....

Security check bags when we go in to the Amex,is that a booze check?
Saturday cost me 3 tickets £36.00, 2 Pies ,1 Hot Dog ,1 beer,2 Pepsi = £19.00.I will take a pack lunch next time and some pills to stop me feeling sick at the display we put on.At those prices we could afford a coach that does not have a long nose.

Pappak.
The Naz-Car race held each year here in Vegas takes about two and a half to complete, maybe two and a half hours if there are a lot of crashes.
Wth drinks and snack food costs added to the ticket price, yes we have bag check too, my total bill in in excess of $400.00.
The deal at the Amex sounds good to me.

an extra thought. It takes about ten minutes to park your car at the race, it takes at least three hours to get out after the race. Public transport to the race is a non starter.I still think you have a good deal at the Amex.

So you think its a good idea to let the team/management you are playing to be forewarned of any injury problems you are experiencing !,strange!!!
