Brighton & Hove Albion Thread | 2025/26

They should be , wasn’t long ago they were nowhere near that level. Maybe they can win a cup competition but that should be seen as just a +

Sure Leicester City won the title but now they are right back in the championship.

I think Leicester’s chairman dying has exacerbated their demise quicker than it might have been.

Bloom is the driving force of Brighton’s success.

Brighton … if only the UK media could recognise and churn out copy on a decent team, a well run club, a superb scouting dept, an intelligent manager… a model of competitive football - that you can rise up from the brink of going bust to reach the heights, and that top football isn’t all about a Neanderthal cartel group pining for the past and being whored out for clicks.

‘Brighton’ beat united - ‘what’s going wrong at united’
United beat a ‘Brighton’ - ‘united are back and flying’

It’s boring, it’s nauseating, and hopefully at some point a TV executive will be appointed that goes ‘hang on, why are these dinosaurs waffling on week after week about the past for exhorbitant wages, let’s get rid, get some accurate and factual balance in and grow the entire viewership’

Be great if they can crack the top 4. Can’t see it but they’re a good team and very well coached

Agreed,some passages of play yesterday were like watching us.Really good manager as well.

Just watched the highlights of them wiping floor of Top 4 contenders Newcastle, football majestic at times. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were challenging this season despite the loss last week. Uefa Cup might not help but what they need is a trophy, hopefully winning that vs Liverpool (or United) in Final

 

[Protein Junkie]

They sold McAllister and Caicedo and it seems to have had very little negative effect.Hopefully this will remain the case. Enjoy watching them and wish them all the best this season.

 

[bobom]

Really hope they can keep it up. Am really enjoying their football.

Really hope they can keep it up. Am really enjoying their football.

And they did quite well at the " home of the most overhyped cunts in the world " yesterday I understand.

I hope they showed their respect for their superiors ? :)

Best footballim team in the PL bar 1

I'd prefer neither of those teams made the final tbh!

Let's just enjoy this Brighton goal in its entirety. They are miles ahead of united, which is a testament to both clubs and how they go about things both on and off the pitch.

Hopefully Pep stays with us a long time, but De Zerbi would be in my top 1 of managers to follow him...

 

[Ducado]

Brighton look like a well disciplined and well structured club, and I hope they continue, although we have seen this before many times, where a club appears from nowhere gets loads of plaudits sticks around the PL for a few years and then fades away in to League 2 obscurity

Exactly this. The UK media are short-sightedness and greedily obsessed on clicks and advertising revenue. If only broadcasters would see the bigger picture. Unfortunately they won't.

Or…

Give Nedum a chance on a mainstream, national football provider.

He’s intelligent, articulate, well educated and a Blue.

 

[Quilted]

back in the championship.

Due to a manager who slowly deteriorated Leicester from the inside out over the last two years.

 

[Skip Donoghue]

Top 4 dark horses for me, said it at start of season, they control the opposition really well and have a coach that knows the game and players that suit their system perfectly

We haven’t seen a club run with data to the extent that Brighton are from top to bottom. They’re not going anywhere unless other teams get as good with data which, given Bloom is fairly unique, is unlikely.

 

[CarlosTevez'sEnglishTutor]

I'd love De Zerbi as our manager if Pep was to ever move on.

 

[MCFC1993]

Didn't see that announcement coming.

 

[Pell]

Maybe Juventus bound?

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

Wonder where he's off?
