"...[Brighton] are not the sort of team that are going to get in Arsenal's faces and go the traditional route of a team playing a team from a higher level...I spoke to a former Arsenal player...he thinks that Brighton will play football, and that will play into Arsenal's hands..."

I don't do the FA cup

You get to keep the "Unbeaten in 2013" tag for at least another week too.

I felt quite angry watching that, I hate defeatism from our own supporters. Yes Arsenal have quality, but they also have weaknesses too. Its 11 V 11 at a packed stadium and I'm hoping the lads will be fired right up for this.

That clip would make a great team talk prior to the game.

Apparently arsenal are lining up with this midfield/attack


-------------Diaby Ramsey

19 Santi Cazorla

9 Podolski
12 Giroud
14 Walcott

The more I think about it, Vicente will be on the bench.
I think Buckley can start and has the stamina to last a full game. Whether he will or not?

Ridiculous thread:
- 5 stars on one side of 'Official Match Day Thread' and 4 on the other.
- No 'FC's
- Also, it's not even the match day.
- A POLL, WHAT IS THIS?!

Because of this, 5-1 Arsenal. Tough afternoon for the 'gulls.

Why - who have Torquay got tomorrow?

Is subsidised travel included with the match ticket as it is with league games?

According to Fox Soccer this march is being played at Withdean! Got to love the Yanks! At least I get to watch the game from bed tomorrow morning. UTA.

Just the same score as the big Chelsea FA Cup game then ! (a very long time ago) Paying customers at the Goldstone: 57.000+ This is probably a bigger match as Arsenal are a more prestigious opponents than Chelsea, then and now.

From a Brighton perspective they are probably the biggest draw of all clubs, bar none. Although in the late seventies, Liverpool were bigger. Early sixties it might have been Spurs.

Missing poll option: Large Albion win (3-0 or more).

Kuszczak, Bruno, Greer, El Abd, Bridge, Hammond, Bridcutt, Spanish Dave, Orlandi, Vicente, Ulloa.....turn the flairometer to maximum and lets have some fun.

Don't choose ElAbd , he'll get in an uppercut first
