Schrödinger’s Stadium
Some of you may be familiar with the famous thought experiment know as Schrödinger’s cat. Here’s a handy video if you want to cat-ch up. Essentially a cat is put in a wooden box with an item that has a 50% chance of killing it in the next hour. At the end of the hour,…

Match Review: Aston Villa 2-1 Brighton
There appear to be three distinct categories of team in the WSL this season. Those who will challenge for the title, Europe and a top four finish, those who will battle it out to avoid the relegation playoff, and those who aren’t good enough for the former but are too good for the latter –…

Match Review: Brighton 0-3 Chelsea
After the Chelsea juggernaut ground to a halt last week against Everton in the WSL, they dismantled Roma in emphatic fashion on Wednesday night in European competition. Which version of Chelsea would show up to the Broadfield, a broken husk of a team, or one determined to put that blip on Merseyside behind them? The…

Match Review: London City 0-1 Brighton
Make no mistake, for the Albion, this game was a no doubt six-pointer. A win would keep them in the mix for a top half finish and take them just a point behind their opponents, a loss and the existing gap of four points would have opened to seven. It was wet, it was windy,…

Match Review: Brighton 2-3 Manchester United
One of the positive aspects of the season so far has been the Albion’s home form, continuing on from a marked improvement last year. That being said, when one of the ‘big four’ comes to town, maintaining ‘Fortress Broadfield’ is always going to be a tough ask. For a full recap of the match action…

Match Review: Arsenal 1-0 Brighton
Memory is a funny thing. Last time Brighton played Arsenal at the Broadfield we took them apart with a counter-attacking masterclass that saw us beat them 4-2. Rewind to six months prior though and the Gunners quite frankly embarrassed the Albion at the Emirates on their way to a 5-0 victory. This game felt like…

Match Review: Spurs 1-0 Brighton
All good things come to an end, at least that’s what they say, but did Brighton’s winning run have to conclude like this? A flat match, in a drab setting, with a dull goal and certainly some dismal refereeing. This was a Spurs team with a bit of spirit, some good players and a few…

Match Review: Brighton 1-0 Everton
After last week’s win over West Ham many fans were bullish about the prospect of facing Everton, particularly without their first choice goalkeeper and one of their star forwards. Where they foresaw fireworks, what they actually got was more like a Catherine Wheel – good, solid entertainment, but without the wow factor of a Mega…
