Pointless Paint Pot Pin

Surely this is a wind-up. Surely?

Who in their right mind would want to own a match badge commemorating a 2-0 victory in one of the dullest matches in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy since our defeat in the competition to, er, Leyton Orient this time last year?
I can’t even remember who played. In fact, the only [...]

Groundhog Day?

There’s not much to be said about transfer window deadline day that hasn’t been said before.
LuaLua is signing. No he’s not. Yet he is. No he’s not. We’re still waiting to hear. Yes, he’s signing. *ping* - Club text, LuaLua signs until January. Get in.
Gus is still hopeful of signing a striker. We’re close to [...]

Iain Hume to sign for Brighton?

After Barnsley’s match at the weekend, their manager Mark Robins confirmed that Albion boss Gus Poyet is after their striker Iain Hume.
Reports have linked him with a move for 200k, although Preston are thought to be interested, which might scupper our plans.
His striking record suggests he’d be a squad striker - he averages a goal [...]

Trouble?

A member of the WeAreBrighton team couldn’t but notice a bit of a scuffle at full time today. Anyone know what this was all about?
Loads of police were at Preston Park station before the game, which seemed a little over the top given that we were playing Walsall at Withdean, where there isn’t exactly a [...]

World’s Worst Lookalike?

Couldn’t help but notice the similarities during his excellent batting display with Stuart Broad at Lord’s yesterday:
Alan Navarro

Jonathan Trott

No, perhaps not…

An Update!!!

…not much to report really.
Sorry we’ve been slack recently - but in all honesty, there’s not been too much to report that we haven’t been able to cover in 140 characters.
We’re counting down until the closure of the transfer window. The problem is, so is everyone else. And sadly, The Argus quotes from Gus about [...]

Last Minute Equalisers

There is nothing sweeter in football than scoring in the last minute. And there is nothing worse than seeing your side concede a costly last minute goal, particularly when it is the result of a spectacular goalkeeper cock-up by a new signing.
This was the aftermath of the reactions of one home fan at Withdean yesterday, [...]

Alan Navarro - Get Well Soon

After winning the fans over in the second half of last season, having drawn praise from Steve Bruce in Portugal and after getting off to a flyer at Swindon last Saturday, the We Are Brighton team are gutted to hear of Alan Navarro’s ruptured cruciate ligament suffered at Northampton last night.
We wish him a speedy [...]

Fans Forum

Just a very very quick note this time - if you want to find out what was said at the fans forum tonight, check out our twitter feed!

“Highlights” from our Tweets include:

Brighton up to 4th favourites for the title. Gus: “Mama Mia!” - brilliant
Lua-Lua still not ruled out. Well, there’s a shocker
“Hi, i’m Richard, [...]

A quick round up

So,  yesterday we won a game at Withdean. Hoorah! Yet another screamer from Elliott Bennett was enough to defeat Mark McGhee’s Aberdeen, but it was the performance, more than the result, that will give the fans encouragement just one week before the start of the new season.
Pass and move, pass and move, pass and move [...]
