    [Albion] Georginio Rutter - singed 19/8/24

    I'm sure the fella was joking. Way better to use him from the bench :)

    [Albion] Georginio Rutter - singed 19/8/24

    Agreed it's way too early to judge, He's featured so far for us off the right, which I guess isn't his best position. Joao Pedro is completely undroppable at the moment, but I can see Rutter getting time in a central position, if Welbeck goes off and Pedro is shunted farther forward I wonder...

    I guess you must have seen a movie or two about attending football matches before the PL. The truth was more prosaic

    [Football] Football rumour - Erik ten Hag will be sacked at end of season

    This is significant for us of course as Man Utd are a side we probably have to finish above to get to Europe this season. I want them to win just enough games to keep the manager, but not enough to get anywhere more than 9th in the league. A fine balancing act

    [Albion] Bart Verbruggen SINGS a 5-year deal

    Hang on though, what about shots off target? You can't attribute anything to the keeper if the strikers keep missing?

    [Albion] Georginio Rutter - singed 19/8/24

    As with all Brighton players i'm hoping he does well. But I can't shake the thoughts .... He looked bad for Leeds in their relegation season. His goalscoring record is bad and there is a general consensus it's the weakest part of his game, (he's a forward) The sighters he had at the Emirates...

    [Albion] Arsenal fans

    Were there delusional fan bases before? I can't remember Because it strikes me that fans are being fed a diet of totally one sided fan TV, fan twitter accounts and messageboards which allow no dissenting voice, that's just reinforcing a walled view of the world. It's like a micro social...

    [Albion] Jan Paul van Hecke - contracted to June 2027

    Agree with you. Haaland missed a free header from 6 yards out in that game. This Man City thing is a thing which people have kept saying to each other till it came true. In my mind, the truth is that there has been steady improvement all the time he's been playing. He's had great games, good...

    [Albion] Jan Paul van Hecke - contracted to June 2027

    I get the model, we get decent young players, bring them through, sell them on. But this has only worked because we've got a core of servants. People who know the culture of the club, steady hands to help bring the youngsters through. This is what I hope Van Hecke becomes. The next step for...

    [Cricket] Cricket- 2nd Test, Lords, August 29 - September 2nd, 2024, Sri Lanka tour of England

    Is it the highest level of cricket? I want Sri Lanka and the West Indies to do well. But they aren't at a level where they can currently compete. In my mind the solution is to be giving them more games. All test nations should be playing more tests against each other, but realistically £125...

    [Albion] Joao Pedro - How good is he?..

    The fact that he hasn't been called up for Brazil is a surprise to me. Hurzeler referenced it in a most match interview that he was disappointed not to be nominated. If he keeps knocking on the door he surely can't be ignored much longer. I want Brighton players to see that they can get...

    [Albion] Yasin Ayari

    I mean, yes it was a poor finish, he missed a huge target, no need for any more analysis than that. But this is a young player , he did a very respectable job as a 20 year old against one of the best midfields in the country. He also scored a marginal disallowed goal at Goodison. The...

    [Albion] That’ll do nicely!

    Seven points represents a brilliant start. The new manager is clearly able to get his ideas across to the players who seem to be able to put those ideas into action The international break buys us some time to get Ferdi, Mats etc up to some level of fitness and Estupinan some intense training...

    [Albion] Arsenal goal - handball?

    It hits his hand, the hand is away from the body. Under last years rules, I think VAR chalks it off, (after about 7 minutes) this year, there is more emphasis on natural movements, so the goal was rightly allowed to stand. It was very lucky it just bounces into his path, I think we can say...

    [Football] Sutton United Ladies put their head above the parapet

    Agree with those saying, this needs to be discussed rationally with science and reason guiding the way and tabloid hysteria ignored I can't help but think some kind of third category of sport is probably the least bad of all the solutions

    [Albion] The International break

    Yes op. This buys us time. Even if we can just get Pervis ready to start, this frees up Hinshelwood to cover the midfield positions. As a bonus one of Ferdi or wieffer, would give us loads more options

    [Albion] Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Probably we should have started Paolo Maldini at left back instead. And it's not saka utd we're playing. Arsenal have loads of attacking threats. All our defensive players will have their hands full
