Who the hell decided it would be a good idea to play football on New Years Eve? And more to the point, who the hell decided that sending Brighton and Hove Albion to Coventry on New Years Eve was acceptable? Those brave souls (us included unfortunately) who have decided to foresake the traditional celebrations of […]

Let’s not spoil Christmas by going to this one in any detail. Craig Mackail-Smith posted a picture of his new shooting boots on twitter last week. Let’s hope he ditches them pretty damn quick judging by yesterday’s performance. On the plus side, at least we created a few chances for once, and there were no […]

If we had to compile our ideal Christmas list to the big man with the white beard (Santa, not Dick Knight), then a trip to Reading on Boxing Day would be as likely to feature as a DVD of Palace’s visit to The Amex signed by Glenn Murray. Unfortunately though, the fixtures computer has taken […]

It’s been AGES since we had one of these, but after a flurry of terrific videos from The Amex this weekend (an atmosphere helped by, let’s face it, an absolute arse of a ref) we decided it was about time we blogged on the best Albion content on the biggest video sharing site on the […]

After the Albion’s 9 men fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Burnley yesterday, manager Gus Poyet said in an inteview with BBC Radio Sussex “If the fans wants to put a £1 each and get 10-15 grand and we pay all together, I can comment on the referee” Well WeAreBrighton.com DO want Gus […]

Think this game is quite easy to summarise. Referee? Disgraceful. Burnley? Woeful. 9 men Albion? Terrific. Crowd? Incredible. Brighton fans are rarely louder than when they are up against 12 men, and we were all in fine form yesterday. Great noise, as the following youtube video highlights.

It’s not the most glamorous fixture to have as the final game before Christmas as Burnley visit The Amex. Gus Poyet’s men will be looking for a fourth consecutive home win, and let’s be honest, most Albion fans are going to be expecting a bit of seasonal cheer with the three points. Trouble is, Eddie […]

Just as the whiteboard in the home changing room said before the game, the current Albion youth team will have no regrets after they saw off Premier League Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Youth Cup 1-0 thanks to a fantastic free-kick from England international Jake Forster-Caskey. Despite the trains being best […]

A good trip to Middlesbrough, spoilt only by 90 minutes of football. We weren’t really at the races going forward – we defended well but created very little (sound familiar?) What’s the problem? Well, yesterday it was horribly obvious we were missing Dicker’s range of passing in the middle. All 3 wingers (LuaLua, Buckley and […]
