Brighton 0 Sheffield Wednesday 0

Atrocious weather does not always make for a dreadful game of football but it did here. In 94 minutes the Seagulls did not muster one direct effort on goal and the visitors only the odd speculative shot. Nor was there one piece of individual skill. I felt sorry for my neighbour Jack who produces a [...]

Brighton 4 Leeds 0

This Brighton side and performance were unrecognisable from the first half of the season in which we were unbeaten but only ever won by a margin of one goal and over December and January went 8 games without a win. Playing two goal-scoring wingers in Knockaert and Murphy and with Hemed recovering [...]

Brighton Races

I do not believe I have ever posted on one of my sporting passions, horse racing. Yesterday I had a meeting with the event executive who last season was mine hostess at the Players Club Bar of Sussex CCC  and was universally popular for her cheerfulness and friendliness. Not unnaturally she [...]

Brighton and Fulham triumph

Whilst Alan, Stefano and I are fanatically loyal to our teams there is much support of each others’. Alan, having trekked up from the South Coast to attend the memorial service of Jimmy Hill, did not fancy another early morning trip to West London to see Fulham at QPR. I invited him to mine [...]

Players Club pre season event

Last night in a pub in Hove the new head coach Mark Davis and director of cricket Keith Greenfield of Sussex CCC participated in an informal gathering with our Players Club. We are a social bunch and it does not require too much excuse to hold an event. I will not go into too much detail as firstly [...]

Brighton 3 Brentford 0

The fellow who collects and delivers our laundry, a keen Albion supporter, correctly predicted the 2-1 score against Huddersfield so last Thursday I asked him what he thought the score might be v Brentford. He said he was going to be outlandish as the Seagulls score few goals and never won by more [...]

Seagulls swoop

Brighton made it two wins in a row and, with 2 winnable home games up next against Brentford and Bolton, have every chance of consolidating their play-off position. Brighton won 2-1 but it was not a great game. Huddersfield, managed by Jurgen Klopp’s number two at Dortmund David Wagner, [...]

Brighton lose record and we lose Jimmy Hill

When John Pargiter, bereft of any decent golf, called for advice on Seagulls’ chances before the match I could not be optimistic. We had conceded 4 goals in the last two matches and were playing the league leaders Middlesbrough without Solly March, Liam Rosenior, Gaetan Bong, Sam Baldock and [...]

QPR 2 Brighton 2

The Seagulls are still unbeaten in a demanding cycle of games of Derby away, QPR away and next Saturday the big one when first placed Middlesbrough meet second (us) at the Amex. This is our fifth successive draw on the road so when Pargie called up for advice that is the obvious bet. The last three [...]

A Visit to the Dripping Pan

In the never ending debate of attendance v tv watching I would like to add my ha’porth by saying that, aged 66, I still enjoy the feeling of visiting new stadium. Alan Tanner and I intend to visit the Allianz Arena and Bernabeu next year. Yesterday I went to the other extreme of the polarity [...]
