**** Port Vale FC v Brighton and Hove Albion FC **** FA Cup

[SockMonster]

Surely with game at Burnley on Tuesday we will play several reserves today. I think Chicksen, Dunk, Brez, Obika, March and maybe even the new guy from Preston on the bench.

Grabban looking quality for Bournemouth, would have fitted in well here from what I'm seeing

No great shock to see what is essentially a reserve side again for the cup. Hope they are good enough to get the result!

Just been on the Vale website. They took offence (rightly) at some ridiculous posts on NSC calling Burslem a hole and Vale fans hooligans. When will these minority of Brighton fans on this site learn that when in a glass house, then stones shouldn't be thrown. 'Scoombe, Whitehawk, Newhaven, Hastings ect ect are not exactly Knightsbridge are they. As for Hooligans, its Brighton fans who have a reputation for rampaging around places like Southend, Chesterfield, Palace, Oxford, Brentford and all around the lower leagues as well as getting involved in trouble with Chelsea, West Ham, Spurs, Leeds and Pompey on a regular basis. Some of the comments on NSC just defy belief for their one eyed bias.

Havent said a thing about them...but they need to be a little less touchy. Part of the internet whether it be football or not.

Put in a number of decent crosses and beaten his man a few times, he's a threat no doubt IMO. Would have been happy to see him here if he normally plays like he has so far.

So much for taking the cup seriously then.

Will be seriously upset with Oscar if we lose.

Looks a pretty good line up to me...

 

[smudge]

If postponed, is there another game close by to nip off to?

having just watched the highlights of the Arsenal game on player I would rather we had not sold Barnes
different times though but a reasonable comparison

What's wrong with the line up?

If we lose then it seems we don't need the potentially money spinning 6th round tie against the likes of Arsenal away.

 

[Mackenzie]

The groundsman is hopeful the game will go ahead. The ref was happy 20mins ago, but its continuing to piss it down.

Who's going to score?

Beginning to resemble a weather reporter now. A thunder, lightning and hailstorm has just hit Vale Park. #bhafc

The pitch was looking okay 20 minutes ago. Squelchy now. #bhafc

Totally agree, most will be eager to impress for Tuesday night.
