I find this kind of Big 6 backslapping in the media a bit much sometimes.
“He’s been a magnificent find for Liverpool…”
What! You mean a magnificent find for Brighton surely?
Brighton bought an uncapped, relatively unknown player from newly promoted Argentinian Juniors.…
Not seen us outplayed like that in a long time. Have to credit the opposition. Arsenal are a formidable outfit. Genuine title contenders and possibly the best team we’ve played this season.
So no shame in losing. Can’t help but think ‘what if’ that Gross chance goes in and…

Who’s forcing anyone to buy Brighton players?
Imagine taking the side of huge oligarch and oil clubs in their stance over smaller clubs who run in the right way, develops young players and operate sustainably.
Will drop the rivalry for a second.
In fairness it’s not just Palace.
This applies to a lot of the “Other 14” clubs.
The Rich 6 fans and Sky 6 media rarely see it from the fans of these clubs perspective. They think all that matters is the Big 6. They see other clubs as simply…
Palace (and many other clubs outside of the established big boys) are given this sort of treatment. It would be nice (just sometimes) to get a level of analysis as to supporters’ frustrations beyond the surface level stuff of Hodgson being “experienced”. It’s not hard to ask us.
Around this time last year 18 year old Evan Ferguson formally arrived on the scene. Scoring his first PL goal vs Arsenal.
It’s a conundrum.
The ethos of the club is to promote within. We put a lot of faith in our young talent… 🧵

“Their project”? Do me a favour.
What project is that, how to collapse a Top 4 powerhouse and set the best part of a billion on fire? 4 managers since Boehly has take over.
You and your agent are going for money. Don’t kid us you’re going to Chelsea for footballing reasons.
💙🤍 Mac Allister said to local press he was “very happy” at Albion and that he was “in no hurry” (to move).
“For me, Brighton is a team that has backed me at a time that was very hard for me and talking about other teams would be disrespectful.”

Under the radar.
Billy Gilmour has been quietly maturing into one of the finest technical midfielders in this league.

It’s extraordinary isn’t it?
Complete misinformation.
And this is only football.
This is why you should exercise healthy scepticism with the media you consume. Much of it is poorly researched, not fact checked, misleading, or agenda driven.
Cassie Nick Rumbaugh, a data scientist at Twitter, is among the employees and contractors very upset that
@elonmusk
is now the largest stakeholder in Twitter.
"A prominent transphobe buying a large stake in Twitter is not at all funny," she says.
Can’t defend.
Can’t keep clean sheets.
Can’t score.
Our single goal of the month being the comedy own goal at Burnley.
At any other club RDZ would be under real pressure. He’s lucky to have an owner like Tony Bloom and frankly is lucky to be the manager of this club.
He…
Nothing like a good old fashioned cup game with a classic giant killing!
Huge congrats to Chelsea. They needed that. And it’s wonderful for their fans to see an exciting win against one of the Top 6. Fairytale stuff, exactly what football’s all about.
Brighton will turn their…
Buonanotte: “I've enjoyed it all. It's a great club, a great city and I'm very, very happy to be here.
It wasn't an easy decision because it wasn't just Brighton who wanted to sign me. There were various clubs. But I decided with my family and my agent. We chose Brighton…
💙🤍 Deserved for Alexis.
Fascinating to see if Caicedo gets the same treatment. I can’t speak for the fans but I have a feeling De Zerbi wasn’t happy with his behaviour and won’t be chaperoned the same way Mac is here
Tony Bloom meets Todd Boehly. Strike up a cordial relationship between the clubs.
Tony gets:
£62m for Cucurella
£20m+ for Potter and staff
Buys Estupinian £15m
Hires Roberto De Zerbi free agent.
Tony upgrades both positions and Todd just paid him £67m to do it.

Guys.
Hinshelwood is only 18.
He’s just made his full debut in Europe. Not even playing in his best postion. And he was as solid as any experienced pro.
This kids potential, his ceiling is through the roof.
One of my often used phrases. But “calling it now”, Hinshelwood WILL…
He’s had to wait a long time for this. Too long. But really happy Dunk did himself and his ability justice tonight.
It’s especially heartwarming to see non Brighton fans actually, signing his praises. Very telling. He is truly the best ball playing English centre back

💙🤍 “I want to improve every day as a player and as a person, and this is the perfect environment for me because the club wants to improve all the time as well.
If you look back on my time here, the club has always moved forward and that’s my mentality as well. When you are…
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more infectiously enthusiastic human as Roberto De Zerbi. Not only is he a tactical genius but he’s a born leader of men

“I took from my family the respect for the fans. I was a fan of my city, my team, my club, Brescia, and it’s important that players respect the fans.
The fans pay for their season tickets and when we play with the shirt we are playing for them…we can change teams but the fans…
That was honestly the most cathartic and soul cleansing result I can remember in football for a long, long time.
There’s a lot of cool stuff to analyse and talk about, but it’s all pure emotion right now. Let’s enjoy this one
#bhafc
I think we deserve it.
If you’re disappointed it’s a loan I don’t know what the hell you expect. This kid wore the 10 for Barca after Messi FFS.
An exceptional talent. He could be the difference between CL football or mid table.
This is nothing short of an elite signing
#Fati
Really disappointed with some of the Amex crowd getting on Bart’s case whenever he holds on to the ball.
This is how we play under De Zerbi? Draw the press. He’s clearly following his manager’s instructions.
💙🤍 De Zerbi taking the time to congratulate Karou on his new deal.
RDZ: “How many years, 5, 6?”
Mitoma: “4 more”
RDZ: “Amigo I’m happy” 😁 🇮🇹 🇯🇵

Do me a favour. Where was that agenda in our scandalous game at your place last season? That was the most corrupt game I’ve seen in my lifetime.
Before this gets lost. Can we just take a moment to mention their CB who is currently losing 4-0 to us was deemed by Southgate to be a superior CB to Lewis Dunk

“I have a very good relationship with the players, with the club, with Tony, with the people like Paul (Barber) who work inside of the club.
It’s like my home, no? When I work here it’s like my home”

#bhafc
Chelsea fans.
It’s really quite simple.
Either you pay the valuation Bloom expects and your club signs Caicedo. Or you don’t and sign another DM instead.
You can insult us, belittle our club, flash trophies, cry here as much as you want but it doesn’t make a bit of difference.
@paddypower
I’m a neutral.
It’s clearly not the reason they’re angry.
It’s because other clubs appear to be getting away with or have had no action taken against them yet.
"I rotate the players to try the Italian kitchen…”
So now we know the context of this photo.
RDZ invites players to his home for Italian food 🇮🇹 🍝
I love this.
Enciso.
Shame if he is out for a while. Real shame.
As well as for us, for him too. His breakout season.
There is a bright side, it could have been far, far worse. It is better this happened now, rather than in 2 weeks. Now we still have the window open, a good impetus to get…

You don’t understand the difference. And the problem is what is misinformation now, isn’t misinformation in 2 months time.
No one should have the power to judge what people are allowed to discuss. Bad ideas should be out in the open being discussed and debunked. That’s healthy.
Wow.
What a performance.
Ferguson will get all the plaudits. And rightfully so. It felt like every decision, every pass, move he made was spot on today. Absolutely clinical.
However Veltman and Van Hecke deserve enormous credit. Unsung heroes today. Veltman is exceptional.
Pep on De Zerbi:
“His impact in England will be massive in the future”
“Because of the way he plays, he was counter cultural in his time in Italy”
He namechecks; Mac Allister, Caicedo, Dunk, March, Gross, Trossard as incredible quality top players

17 years old. Here he is against Boca Juniors recently. What a squad we’re building here… exciting times to be a Brighton fan

…
We’ve been spoilt as a fanbase recently.
But we can’t have it our way every time. You can’t win every game at a canter. You’re going to have games where it isn’t your day. This is football.
No question Dunk was missed. Almost certain we don’t concede 3 with him in the side…
I just can’t wait to watch more De Zerbi ball…
Won’t ever dispute or disrespect Potter’s work here. It was important. Great moments. But RDZ feels another level entirely, a higher pedigree. Right now is the most excited and energised I’ve felt watching our team in years

Reporter: “Do you think he (RDZ) will go to a top club?”

It proves what we’ve felt for a long time Darren. As a Brighton fan I saw some astonishing calls last season. Our game at Spurs should never be forgotten. I’ve never seen a game with such blatant corrupt calls before.
@FA_PGMOL
owe us some answers.
@England
This England outfit is now an old boys network. Southgate has decreed it a closed shop. Doesn’t matter how you perform you have zero chance of being selected.
Same old favourites, many of which barely playing in the PL. Really stale and unhealthy way to run an organisation.
Since this tweet Man Utd have gone bottom of their Champions League group, knocked out of the carabao cup and are languishing 8th in the PL with a lame manager.
Know your place.
Since this tweet Brighton have gone bottom of their Europa League group, knocked out of the carabao cup and just lost 6-1 to Aston Villa.
Know your place.
Everyone at the Amex played their part tonight. One of the best home atmospheres for a long time.
Including the Marseille fans as well, created their own vibe and passionately roared their team on the whole game. Fair play to them.
It used to be a joke. But at this point I think they really do want to support us.
I can’t imagine being this enamoured with another clubs players, staff, managers the way they are?
