As per this article on the official website, an Albion U-21 group is visiting the South of France to play friendlies against OGC NIce and Monaco today and tomorrow. In the match today at the OGC Nice training ground, Nice led 2-0 but three goals in six minutes saw Albion take the lead. The...

Albion U-16 player Sebastian Ademola came on as a substitute today for the Norwegian U-16 side as they beat Hungary 3-1 in a friendly. He has previously featured for the Norwegian U-15 side. It also happens to be his 16th birthday today - which is nice. Sebastian will commence his scholarship...

I realise this is probably a nerdy question, but.... As far as I can tell, every single website has "credited" our goal today as an own goal by 'keeper Arijanet Muric. However, shouldn't it be credited as an own goal by Sander Berge? I realise Muric is clearly the player at fault as he lets the...

As previously mentioned on here, Albion U-16s Freddie Simmonds and Harry Howell were called up to the England U-16 squad for a UEFA Development Tournament being held at the Pinatar Arena in Spain. Albion U-15 Cristiano Anah was also called up to the Italian U-16 squad for the same tournament...

Exhibit A: Earlier today I came across an interview with former Albion youngster Micky Conway (who made a couple of first team appearances in the early '70s). This is what he had to say about how he was spotted by the club:- Being the nerd that I am, I like to make notes about former Albion...

Many congratulations to Cristiano Ekene Anah, an U-15 player in Albion's academy, who has been called up to the Italy U-16 squad for the UEFA development tournament at the Pinatar Arena in Spain which commences later this week. I don't know a whole lot about Cristiano - I first heard of him...

Barber agrees deal to 2030

We have reached the final international break of the season, one of those periods when Albion fans collectively forget about football for a few days and NSC activity drops by about 50% (or so it seems). But being the European powerhouse that we now are, there will not be much rest for many of...

I realise this has every chance of becoming a one-post thread (and maybe even a one-view thread!) but I saw some news today that concerned a couple of former Albion youngsters and thought it was worth sharing. On Sunday the Sussex County FA host their U-16 schoolboy final (the John Davey Cup)...

Albion U21s are back in action this evening as they host WBA at the training ground. Albion have just five matches left in the "regular season". With the new format of Premier League 2 this campaign, the top 16 clubs (in only one division) make the play-offs, in which the higher-placed team has...

Full details in the Athletic - Chelsea told to pay Brighton over £7m in compensation for Shumaira Mheuka and Zak Sturge

I noticed, when the Crystal Palace U-21s beat Albion three weeks ago, that the Eagles had a Brighton-born central defender in their team - Joe Sheridan. Apparently he went to school in East Grinstead and also toured South Africa with the Surrey County Cricket Club U-16 academy squad. Yesterday...

In August last year I posted this thread - Albion have had ELEVEN individuals move to Chelsea in 13 months Since then, Moises Caicedo moved on for £100million (and counting) and now Sam Jewell is on his way. And Albion are STILL three places and three points above the Blues.

...apparently. Quarter-final tie to be played on Friday February 23rd at Rush Green at 7pm.

With our red-haired Argentinian managing to get himself sent off on Monday, even before he had set foot in England let alone pulled on an Albion shirt, it set me wondering which other Albion players had been sent off whilst representing their country. I had completely forgotten that a former...

...has been announced by the Premier League. It is completely unchanged from the September listing, with 20 players named (including the out-on-loan Mahmoud Dahoud and Carl Rushworth). All six January signings are listed on the U-21 list (Barco, Doyle, Hall, Mazilu, Robertson and Vickers)...

I don't think we have a thread on NSC dedicated to Shannon Ruth, the head coach of the U-21s, which seems remiss given the fine job he appears to be doing. There was fulsome praise from none other than Mr Roberto De Zerbi a few days ago:- Today the Athletic has an article about him which is...

Congratulations to Freddie Simmonds, Tyler Silsby and Harry Howell who have been named in the England U-16 squad for the Football Federations Cup Tournament in Albir in Spain from February 17 - 26.
