The new issue of When Saturday Comes arrived today, and was pleasantly surprised to see BHA on the cover!
However, apart from the brief quote fro RDZ about how getting into Europe being more prestigious for BHA than winning the PL with one of the big six, and a letter from someone about the...
Couldn't see this elsewhere, but according to https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2023/brighton-make-4-year-contract-offer-for-benfica-forward-luis-semedo/ we've made a four year contract offer to Luis Semedo, a young forward for Benfica.
Might all be the normal nonsense, of course.
BTW I've...
I was just checking upcoming recordings on my Virgin Tivo box, and spotted two more Brighton games which are being shown live, that I hadn't noticed before: Everton (BT) and Arsenal (Sky). The Arsenal one isn't showing as a TV pick on the BHA website.
It made me realise that seven out of our...
Interesting thing in The Times this morning about aerial duel win rates in the PL this season - and we're third!
Here's an extract of it:
1. Newcastle - 55.9%
2. Man City - 55.5%
3. BRIGHTON - 54.1%
...
19. Palace - 46.3%
20. Arsenal - 45.9%
With BDB I'm not totally surprised by Saudi FC...
Apologies if fixtures, but didn't see this elsewhere. Brighton defender Ruairi McConville, 17, has signed a new contract that runs until June 2025. "I’ve really enjoyed my time at Brighton so far, so I am excited to have the opportunity to commit my future here," he said.
Presume he shows...
According to Football Insider we "are plotting a move for Japanese attacker Keito Nakamura. The left-sided attacker, 22, has been earning rave reviews playing in the Austrian Bundesliga with LASK".
They note he could be available for as little as £3million. "He has scored 11 goals and provided...
Just finished watching something my Virgin Tivo automatically recorded (I've got Brighton as an auto-record keyword!) - on Sky Sports Premier League.
Called Premier League Stories: Tony Bloom, it is a really well put-together look at Brighton's fairly recent history, from the final days of the...
Probably only of mild interest to most, but on my Facebook Timeline today I had a reminder of a couple of pictures I took, and posted, four years ago today. It was just before we sat down for a Sunday Lunch there. They show the Amex looking a little different to normal. Can't remember how often...
Didn't spot this elsewhere so apologies if fixtures... the Man Utd website is now reporting that their home match against us (postponed from December) is now taking place on Tuesday Feb 16th, at a very helpful 8:15pm.
Doesn't sound like it is on TV - previously it was due to be on BT Sport...
For the last day or so, I am getting the odd advert overlaid either on the list of threads, or on posts themselves. They seem embedded and scroll with the page, and obscure the text with no way to move/remove. It's ONLY NSC where I get this. Here's an example:
Anyone else getting this?
Couldn't see this mentioned elsewhere but got mine, my missus's, and one of my son's membership "goodie" packs through today, and whilst I've broadly liked/found value in previous years, I think I'd have rather them say "due to Covid losses, we're not doing one this year".
There's a pair of...
Haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere on here... there's a story on Sussex Live about the upcoming 10th anniversary of the Amex:
CEO Paul Barber announced the club has plans in place to mark the 10th anniversary of the stadium this summer.
Brighton's deputy chairman said it should happen on...
Apologies if fixtures, but couldn't see this elsewhere, and hadn't seen it flagged up in the normal places....
The BHA v West Ham fixture that was due to be on May 11th, now has its confirmed time and date - and broadcaster.
It's on Saturday May 15th (my birthday and wedding anniversary! Let's...
Just watching the press conference for Saturday's game and Graham Potter has a bit of a shiner and looks like at least four stitches below his left eye. Apologies if fixtures but anyone know what's happened?
My mum passed away recently and as part of clearing her house, I've got a folding wheelchair (all four wheels are small), a wheeled walker, and a zimmer frame. I'm really reluctant to take them to the tip to get rid of... could anyone here make use of them, OR know a charity or whatever who...
Just a head's up...couldn't see this elsewhere - at 1:30pm on Gillette Soccer Saturday on Sky Sports, Muzza, Dale and Burn talk about "the A23 Derby". Looks like Muzza asking the questions: the brief clip they just showed has him holding some presenter-type cards! More practice for his TV...
Interesting piece in The Times this morning about FIFA's changes to the loan system for 2020-21, which have been ratified.
The number of players any club can loan out will change to be a likely maximum of between 6 and 8, but FIFA has yet to decide on the exact number.
Chelsea will be most...
No time wasted in getting rid of the pitch at the Amex - was up there this evening for a book launch (Peter James's new book, which concerns a kidnapping at the stadium) and the diggers were out...
What surprised me was that I couldn't see any trace of where the sprinklers are/were...
