January Transfer Window – New Year’s Revolution?
Ahead of the January transfer window I wanted to identify a few potential targets that Brighton could realistically pursue in order to improve the squad. These are not rumours, I do not (sadly) have insider information, but hopefully it provides some food for thought and hey – sometimes it’s fun to speculate! Loan-ly This Christmas?…

Match Recap: Aston Villa 1-0 Brighton
Another week and unfortunately another poor performance by the Albion last night away at Aston Villa. Rumours of an illness that affected the squad are as of yet unconfirmed and therefore we can only discuss what happened on the field, not off it. I’m not a big fan of these late Sunday night kick-offs, particularly…

£1M Women’s Transfer Fee – Part 2: The Contenders
So, you know how we got here (if not – please read Part 1), but who will be the player to break through the barrier and smash one of the remaining glass ceilings in Women’s football? Some criteria first – I do think we are at least two years away from the first £1M women’s…

Match Recap: Liverpool 4-0 Brighton
Yeesh. I had quite high hopes for this game with the Albion coming off some excellent performances against the top four teams and a solid win in the Conti cup on Wednesday night. This was a humbling defeat and perhaps a suggestion that Brighton are not where we thought they might be. The Seagulls actually…

Match Recap: Brighton 0-3 Arsenal
Well, at least it wasn’t 4-0 this time. That might sound a little facetious in light of the spirited performance Brighton put in yesterday, but I promise there’s logic behind the levity. When Arsenal came to Crawley last season they were 2-0 up inside 10 minutes and 4-0 up at half time. The rest of…

Match Recap: Manchester City 0-1 Brighton
Well, well, well – we nearly beat one of the ‘big four’ last week against United and this Sunday we knocked off their noisy neighbours Manchester City – away from home no less. Due to existing commitments I watched the entire game sat in the car park of Bluewater Shopping Centre – and let me…

Match Recap: Brighton 2-2 Manchester United
I said before this run of fixtures that I felt one of the so-called ‘top 4’ teams that the Albion would play in consecutive games could be there for the taking and they came incredibly close to a famous victory last night. It was a slightly inauspicious start once again as we could have conceded…

Match Recap: Chelsea 4-2 Brighton
We always knew this was going to be a tough task, and so it proved to be, but there were glimmers of hope amongst Chelsea’s domination. Will it be enough to build on as we face three more elite teams in a row? The match began with the Blues probing around the Brighton box and…

Match Recap: Brighton 1-3 Spurs
Much like the theme of this recap, Brighton started well and then devolved into disappointment in their first appearance at the Amex this season against Tottenham Hotspur. After the loss to West Ham last week, the Albion really needed to come out of the blocks fast and they did just that on the 8-minute mark.…

Alex Greenwood & the Time-Wasting Conundrum
Many of you will by now have seen the video of Alex Greenwood receiving a second yellow card for time-wasting in Manchester City’s game against Chelsea. If you haven’t, you’re welcome to do so on the BBC website. I think 99.9% of people agree the sending off was at best harsh, and at worst an…
