[Albion] The Magic of the FA Cup…

[Greeko]

Won’t be Monday night unless they change the date of the Spurs/ Southampton match on the Wednesday which seems unlikely.

 

[Swansman]

Should be a very tight game.

 

[brighton_tom]

Crap draw that's us out then.

Why? Did you just watch them against Morcambe. 3-1 was veeeeery flattering. Its an absolute free hit for us.

If drawing Spurs mean we're definitely out then we may as well not bother at all.

I had a quick look at this and now my head hurts. There seems to be all manner of engineering works that weekend. Brighton to London showing as 1h42m minimum....

I’ll be driving……absolute ballache of a place to get to by train.

How times have changed. So many thinking a winnable game

Well.. it is.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Terrible draw

 

[Greeko]

Hopefully we will go full strength it helps us that the Chelsea home match has been brought forward so no midweek match for us after this cup tie

 

[El Turi]

I make that 6 away draws in a row including the league cup and last season so quite bad luck.

Spurs away when they're out of Europe? They'll take the game seriously vs us and play their full strength team as it's their only chance of silverware this season - they were poor vs Morecambe until they brought their big hitters on, then won with a bit in hand. It's one of the worst draws possible imo, obviously we could still beat them but would give us a 5-10% chance at best.

10 or 20/1 ?

Have you watched them play recently ?

Certainly be the favourites but a 5-10% chance is a bit negative.

Struggled recently against Watford/Palace and outside Kane and Son look bang average most games.

For me it depends which Brighton side turns up… if it’s the one that played against Chelsea I’d say we have a fair chance … if it’s the performance level of Wolves then we might struggle.

 

[Change at Barnham]

There must also be a good chance that it's chosen as the Friday night game on 4th Feb.
That would be as much of a ball ache as making it Monday night.

My preference would be Saturday lunchtime or the early (2pm) Sunday afternoon game.

They're not brilliant by any means, at the Amex I might fancy they'd not be up for it, but can't see us winning against them in 90 mins away - best chance taking them to ET and/or pens. We'll see but don't think anyone can argue it's a pretty horrendous draw at this stage of the comp, even if you are an optimist!

Can the tie be played on the Monday night, given there is a full PL round of mid week games (other than our game v Chelsea which has been moved due to the World Club Championship

Only lost once away all season

 

[mwrpoole]

Well I’ll be hoping Spurs can turn their 0-2 deficit vs Chelsea around this week so they have a final to look forward to.

 

[Taybha]

How times change, Spurs away now considered a shyte draw in the 4th round of the FA Cup !

Whatever night or day it's on we'll take up the full allocation and fill it, it's a perfect draw for those without the 3 zillion points required for a London EPL awayday.

Fully agree it’s a terrible draw.

Just don’t think beating them is a remote possibility …. We play our best football against the top sides in this league and have every chance of getting a result.

Not for me. I think it's a great draw. I like going to the Spurs stadium, if it's not Friday or Monday night we'll make a day if it. And I think we have a good chance as I think we'll be more up for it, they'll probably contract a nasty case of "doyouknowwhoweare?itis". And they're not that great, really, are they?
