I'm really, really excited for the Cup this year as we have a genuine chance of making the final; which of course means we'll bloody lose tomorrow.

Absolutely loved the semi-final day against City four years ago. Magical. Imagine if we'd have scored! I want that opportunity again to go to Wembley.

All very well getting excited about Stoke but what happens when we meet a top 6 away? You have to be lucky in the cup and hope for a good draw all the way and that those big teams get knocked out before we have to face them.

More home games in the Cup would help, if we can get past Stoke. I’d fancy us on our day to beat anyone at the Amex.

Who wins a cup without beating top teams?

Interesting as our away record is much better and we just lost to Fulham at home ;)
Top teams don’t shitehouse like Fulham though, we play better against the top six, home and away. Yes I do realise that Fulham went top six after beating us :lolol:

That game was a proper smash and grab too, these things happen though. We played really well, just misfired in front of goal.

Anyway, being Brighton we’ll probably lose tonight :wink:

Home quarter against any team. Big clubs drawn each other. Just not Grimsby away. Bound to be a TV game at 8 pm.

We've already knocked out Liverpool. You'd think if we can avoid city or utd in the 1/4s then got to fancy us for another wembley day out

First off need to get past stoke.
