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.…

£1M Women’s Transfer Fee – Part 1: The Journey
One of the surprising things to me as a lifelong football fan once I entered the sphere of the women’s game in 2019, was the relatively small transfer fees required to sign the World’s best players. At the time the record was £200,000 paid by Rayo Vallecano to sign Milene Domingues from Fiammamonza way back…

Match Recap: Everton 1-2 Brighton
Well as frenetic as the summer had been for Brighton, it didn’t match the energy with which they started this game. After just 3 minutes Katie Robinson slammed a long-range effort off the bar which may have actually been a great save by Emily Ramsey. The ball went almost straight up in the air and…

A Season in Preview
What a summer it was for women’s football, England made the final of the World Cup, a Spanish official tried to make the whole sport about him, and in many ways the game is stronger than it has ever been. Oh, and Brighton signed (I think) 11 new players. Whew. So here I am trying…

Keeping It Simple
Well that was an interesting transfer window wasn’t it! There were some incomings and outgoings early, and the same as the window drew to a close. In this article I want to focus on deadline day itself and in particular the addition of two goalkeepers, Nicky Evrard and Sophie Baggaley. As the summer wore on,…
