He looks like he already lives in Spain.

I reckon they're "taking a look at" Brandthwaite, as they often do with young players who are impressing. Stones, Maguire, Dunk, Guehi seems like the 4 to me. If Dunk impresses again in these games, I reckon that'll be the case. Southgate just doesn't seem to fancy Tomori, chance for Colwill also.

That's based on how De Zerbi plays though, isn't it? We take FAR more risks as a side now. Not like Lewis Dunk has just magically become a much worse CB. You'd hope at the top level people would be smart enough to spot this. England scouts anyway, maybe not journos...

But what a first 3 minutes, eh?

Squad for Brazil and Belgium games announced at 2pm today. Final squad of the season before the summer. With Guehi out injured, surely Dunk will be in? The Athletic had 6 of their writers give their Euro24 squads. Not a single one had Dunk in, absolutely blows my mind.

Yes, what I read via Brian Owen was that he was a doubt - i.e. less than 50% likely to start.

I don't think there's any need to, as there's nothing to lose.

100% agree that the English must be among the most self-conscious nationalities. Who would score above us on this metric?

Going tonight in hope more than expectation. Could see us getting ahead, then slowly getting dragged down into a very stop start game. 3-1. But at 2-0 the atmosphere will be incredible. No Dybala, no Lukaku.

That is Q Magazine: The Festival right there. Incredibly safe line up. Also very dance and pop orientated. Don't get me wrong, I'm fully aware Glastonbury is brilliant and I'm certain I would very much enjoy myself if I went. Just saying this year's line up in particularly feels a bit too risk...

This. I'd rather a game where the dynamics go up and down, even if the average noise level is lower, than just a constant meaningless drone for the entire game.

I could not agree more. English fans actually REACT to the game, there's an ebb and flow. I find that far more engaging than just 95 minutes of non-stop LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA with no relevance whatsoever to what's happening on the pitch. There's no dynamic range whatsoever, which...

It would be utterly glorious to go in at half time 2-nil up, even if it ultimately ends in failure. The atmosphere would be unreal.

We are unbeaten at home in 13 games, and much better at home than away this season. I don't see us losing to Villa and Chelsea at ours.

Because some of our players were NEAR their goalie. I was so ready for that to be disallowed, didn't celebrate it at all when it went in.

We can score. We can score a LOT under De Zerbi. The bit I'm struggling with is the clean sheet.

Some of the youngsters - who are more naturally talented than him in other attributes (shooting, dribbling) - could really learn from him about how to treasure and keep possession.

Whilst I want things more Brighton themed, I'm not sure about a specific new song about Brighton. I think about that song from Wrexham which is one of the worst songs of all time.

The problem with eating with the kids at 5pm is you end up peckish around 9/10pm.

Totally agreed. We should lean far more into the culture of the city. The club should feel part of the city.
