We All Follow the Albion

Saturday. And not just any Saturday. “Super Saturday”. When the children of the future study the significant and vaguely horrifying year of 2020 there might just be a little footnote about 4 July 2020 mentioning it was the day that (spoiler alert!) Brighton effectively stayed up at Norwich. Sorry, I meant the day that lockdown in the UK was eased to its most relaxed since March with the reopening of some ...

If you’d asked me, back in December 2019 when we beat Arsenal away, what I’d be doing in June 2020 the answer would have been obvious. Whilst it probably would have been sunny outside I would have been sitting on my sofa watching football with The Boy, perhaps with a cold drink in my hand. I would, however, have been thinking about the massive travelling circus that was going to be Euro 2020. Teams. WAGs and press travelling the continent and racking ...

The talk right now is all about how, when and if the Premier League will return to finish the 2019/20 season.

Whatever happens here, teams will need to know where they stand shortly, if they have met season expectations, and what league they will be playing in next season.

This is going to be an incredible and very strange summer period for many different reasons, and that looks set to have a big impact on the 2020 summer transfer window. ...

If Only Tonight We Could Sleep - 1989

I don’t mean to upset mum but that doesn’t override the fact that my shirt and tie are strangling me. We’ve arranged with the school that I don’t need to wear a tie, so why do I have to now?

“Please, honey,” says mum, her voice wobbling through her gentle flowing tears “Just for today. Alan, just for today”

She moves her eyes down ...

"Here comes a soul saver on your record player floating about in the dust"

Dad got mad with me! I don’t blame him but my brain exploded. The lights, the music and all the records.I just couldn’t believe there were so many records. How can anybody make the decision of what to get. He was disappointed with me for not asking anyone at school what i should get. I didn’t know why but when i walked in that shop and ...

Chapter 2 - 1988 - Two Worlds Collide

After carefully considering my life so far I can confidently say that it is firmly split in two. Everything that happened before we moved to Brighton ...

Chapter 1 - Magic Bus - 1986

I have been staring at this sign for weeks now. Let’s face it I don’t have much else to do. This bus is full of the white noise of chatter but none of ...

Firstly, I wanted to avoid the term “Potterball”. Well, apart from just then. Sorry. For the purposes of this article I will use the longer terms “our style of football” or “Graham Potter’s style of football” even though they are longer, and therefore harder to type, because they are slightly less cringy and cannot be used ironically. Right, so now that’s out of the way what has ...

Thanks to NSCer miffy6 for these captures from the Arsenal game which illustrate Potterball in full effect.

Liquid football and all that - enjoy!
