[Albion] FA Cup Fifth Round

[DavidinSouthampton]

The idea final for me would be the Middle Class derby - Brighton v Fulham. We can all eat nice cheeseboards outside Wembley, maybe with a nice bottle of Sancerre

Cheese with white wine?

(It wouldn’t actually bother me too much)

 

[Simster]

We beat them 4-1 last season !
We beat them 3-1 with ten men !
We beat them 3-0 in the play off season and so on. I think we just remember the defeats - fair enough - not the wins etc of which there have been plenty in the last 15 years.

We do beat them yes, but I'll repeat, they unfortunately they win the ones that matter - the ones that people remember.

Not sure that our PL games with them don't matter, or their defeats at Wembley in the FA Cup don't matter to them or indeed to us (twice in the last few years) but yes - the play off is tough to take, even 13 years later. But doesn't all of NSC remember Andone, Spanish Dave, Solly March slotting it into the corner and Pedro counting 1,2,3,4. Let alone Don't let it bounce and we didn't even win that one.

They always seem to have the last laugh.

That's all well and good buddy, but we often laugh when they are behind us in the league, then they catch us up. And the biggest game we have played was THAT match in 2013. I really didn't fancy them in the FA Cup

We have been drawn together 3 times in the FA Cup, and do lead the head-to-head:

1932/33 FAC 1st Round
Palace 1-2 Brighton

1976/77 FAC 1st Round
Brighton 2-2 Palace
Palace 1-1 Brighton
Brighton 0-1 Palace
Notable for all kinds of acrimony

2017/18 FAC 3rd Round
Brighton 2-1 Palace
Notable as the first competitive fixture in England with VAR in use.

Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 Crystal Palace

Glenn Murray scores against his former club as Brighton beat Premier League rivals Crystal Palace to progress to the FA Cup fourth round.

How about we ( Forest ) beat you ( BHA) and then you won’t run the risk of playing them ( Palace), open offer

Just putting on my tin hat and getting in my fox hole .

Silly little request from me. Can you get yourself a Forest/tree avatar please? I have to keep reminding myself which team you support.

Ta.

Biggest ever ? If we'd not beaten them in 22/23 we wouldn't have qualified for the Europa League.

Indeed Crottin and Sancerre is a wonderful and local combination!!

Especially as he mentions a fox, thought they hated Leicester

What kind of cheese will you pair with a Sancerre on a warm May afternoon? Perhaps a light goat?
As long as we have Victoria Sponge for the pudding course, I'm sure many Fulham will be up for this.

That game was played in mid March, it had nowhere near the pressure the play off games came with or what a potential cup semi or final would.

The fact we beat them and if we hadn’t we wouldn’t have qualified for the Europa League can be applied to every other win that season.

Currently the play off games had the most riding on them and that will only change if we meet them at a Wembley semi or final or a final day match like we faced against Middlesbrough the season before we were promoted.

Crottin, as mentioned above. Tried and tested. Yum, I want some now. Love Sancerre, it’s the best white wine IMHO and a very pretty little town too.

I tell you what, you guys bring the cheese and I'll bring the wine. Victoria Sponge is a fine choice, and I would suggest bringing a small trifle too.

What a splendid FA Cup Final this is turning into

And if Knocky hadn't scored that goal in 2019 we'd have gone down.
