The FA Cup is still a prestigious club trophy , and one that any top flight club will want to add , they will take it 100% seriously Irrespective of the europa league

Europa League offers a shot at the CL, better going for that I reckon but either way they could easily rotate and beat us comfortably.

They will take the FA cup seriously , what's the argument ?

Do they have a good squad with depth? Any idea. I have none.

That they would prioritise the FA Cup over Europe. Thought that was what you were saying..

Think I'd rather play wolves
I want Brighton to go out of Europa as sick of prem teams dominating with money
But if they go through then fa cup qf may be sandwiches in the middle of Europa quarters so then it would be good for us

No mate, premier league teams famously have weak depth in their squads

They currently have a lot of injuries but some players like Encisco and Estupinan have returned in the last few weeks

Would have loved Liverpool or Man U at home. Or even away. We’re not going to win the cup, and if we somehow beat Brighton or Wolves we will probably end up getting smashed at Wembley by Man City.
I’m sure we could of given Man U, Newcastle or Liverpool a tough game at the CBS

They have put the best team available to them out against wolves tonight , they want to win it , you guys were suggesting they would take it lightly maybe because of Europe, I'm saying they won't

Some obviously have better depth than others, tart!!
I.e. Man City or Liverpool could put out their second string and still beat other Premier teams. Can Brighton do that?
That's what I am asking.

We've done Brighton.
Dog Heads win tonight then we smash them in a West Mids tear up and show Man City who the true Sky Blues are at Wembley.

Yes definitely want Wolves, shame not at home but avoided potential heavy defeats at some 'big guns' although Brighton can score a lot. Really didn't want to face that horrible fans club.

Yeah, of course. It's just the Thursday/Sunday thing isn't it. Not so much recovery time.

No but they have a much better chance of winning the FA cup don't they. Which would give them European football again next season guaranteed.

Not sure they do to be honest. Not with Liverpool and Man City still in it.
Odds on one of those two will win the thing.
I know nothing about the Europa League though and who is in that.

They won’t take it lightly but if you think they are going to play their strongest XI in both games I’d suggest you are wrong

Not sure there is any teams as strong as Man City in their European competition.
It's irrelevant Wolves take this because of reasons?

A sad memory as a young ‘in was travelling to Wolves for an F. A. Cup quarter final so sure we would win and suffering a 2-0 defeat.
Time to erase the memory and set the world right.

Allowance in the Cup is up to 15% (as per FA rules) and depending on SAG. If demand is high for Wolves fans then wouldn't surprise me for them to give us 3k.
Does anyone know how many Brighton have this evening? Can't find it on BHA website

Yeah, that's what I am asking. They will obviously have a degree of depth. Just wondering how many they could rotate and yet still be able to put out the same level of performance.
Fair point, but was just my take on the strengths/abilities of both sides.
By way of contrast, Wolves are 10th in the home form table, Brighton are 6th, scoring more and conceding fewer.
All about opinions. I think it was Twain who quoted about lies and statistics.

Imagine losing an fa cup quarter final at home to coventry because you thought you could rest a few
go down wellProbably the least desirable draw for me, both teams fairly secure in the Prem. although as people have said Brighton will possibly mix it up due to Europe so hopefully they do rest players. Was hoping for one who may have their eye elsewhere.
Can see the late Sunday game being us in Brighton!

Still possible for the same teams to contest the cup and playoff finals…
