41 to be precise, at the moment. All in top tier but spread across several blocks.

With Steel in goal and our 'brave' defending, this could be a real hiding.

Given their Home 'support' will probably out sing them!
First 'away trip'? Hopefully the other trips haven't been supporting Arsenal??Looking forward to it now the trains are sorted. First away trip to the Emirates.
Only need a win now lads.

6,500....any particular pub or area most will be heading to?
Steele is ok. Don't know why people keep doing the narrative that he is a shite keeper when apart from the last minute mistake against... whatever team he later saved 3-4 penalties against in the cup... he has been doing well any time given the chance to fill in for Sanchez. Not a world class goalie by any means but there's nothing wrong with him.
I think the game will be a close one. Arsenal are fighting for the league title with a pretty thin squad and I think they'll rest just about everyone competing for a starting eleven spot, while I expect to see 5 or 6 regular starters in the Brighton team.
Arsenal got strong reserves and yoofs however so I don't think it will be easy. Players like Cedric, Holding, Elneny, Nketiah, Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira and Lokonga are decent players despite very limited game time in the PL.
Think Brighton will win it... but we'll see (except we won't, but we'll hear about the result...)

I remember Steele signed for us about a week after I watched Sunderland til I die, on Netflix.
He didn't come off well from the clips on that show, so I didn't have high hopes.
But he's seemed a decent back up, whenever he's turned out for us, so I have no complaints.
Yeah I think a lot of opinions about Steele comes from that show but I think you shouldn't read too much into that. Sometimes the structure of a club has positive or negative impact on everyone. I doubt Caicedo was brilliant in every game over in Germinal Beerschot... probably made plenty of mistakes - when everything else is dysfunctional it isn't easy to be functional.
Just got the 'Pre-match Brief' email from the club. Not sure they are right about when the next round is...!

I reckon Welbz could be a starter tonight replacing Tross and may well score his first of the season. (Hopefully

Perhaps it was scheduled then in recognition that Premier League teams will no doubt be putting reserves out.
