[Everest]

Why the f*** do you always feel the need to start another match thread within the actual match thread?!?!

IF we lose, we know who to blame.

[Poyetry In Motion]

I thought starting match threads was the sole domain of BBBW ? It doesn't feel right otherwise. Look what happened with the Millwall game....

FA Cup Results at Liverpool - all time
26.01.1991 (r4) Liverpool 2-2 Brighton
20.02.1983 (r5) Liverpool 1-2 Brighton
01.02.1908 (r2) Liverpool 1-1 Brighton

Head-to-head
• Liverpool have a 50% winning record against Brighton. They have triumphed in 12 of 24 competitive meetings, Brighton in four, with eight drawn.
• There is nothing to choose between them in the FA Cup, with both winning two of their four previous ties.
• Brighton's 2-1 win in the fifth round in February 1983, was one match on the way to the Wembley final. Liverpool progressed on the most recent occasion, with an odd goal in five extra time victory in a fourth round replay in January 1991.

Liverpool
• The fourth round conquerors of Manchester United have not made the quarter-finals since winning the FA Cup for the seventh time in their history in 2006.
• Already Wembley-bound for the Carling Cup final, Liverpool have knocked out lower league opposition from the FA Cup in six of the last nine occasions. But they had their interest in the competition ended by Barnsley in 2008 and by another Championship club, Reading, in the season before last.
• Kenny Dalglish's men have not lost at Anfield in any competition this season (W6, D9).

Brighton
• The Seagulls are appearing in the fifth round for the second season running, but they have not qualified for the quarter-finals since 1986.
• Brighton knocked out Premier League Newcastle in the fourth round; the first time they had prevailed in their last seven clashes against top-flight opposition.
• Gus Poyet's club have not lost in any competition so far in 2012, winning six and drawing four of the 10 league and cup games.

I went to university with linesman David Richardson. He was an absolute tool. That is all.

Anything specific, like a nickname, we can yell at him to distract him at convenient times?

Just calling him a Ginger haired **** should suffice.

I've got a better feeling about this game than the home one. I think our usual players know what they are expected to do.

 

[then and now]

Anyone taking pics of our fans up there before and during the game ?

Just seen the team bus parked outside the Beatles exhibition. Hope they wake up before kickoff.

[glasfryn]

not going to many on here today by the looks
wish I was fit enough to go, I think its going to be a very good day for the Albion

 

[Art Vs Science]

Just been told that Sky Bet has Buckley to score first goal and a 1-1 draw is 130-1. Gotta be worth a few quid

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Is there a link to it anywhere?!

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

As weve got friends over to watch the game on TV (part of my Albion promotion scheme here in Turkey) I wont be online but have a great one everyone!
