Brentford scored four in their last match against Brighton. Could they dominate again this year? I don't think so.

Brighton being above Liverpool but somehow still below Palace is very funny

Ball don't lie + Bart Verbruggen is the best goalkeeper in the world
Such a soft penalty against Brighton. That sort of jostling happens dozens of times a game. Genuinely can't believe that was given #BHAFC

Can't believe I'd almost forgotten how good a player Jack Hinshelwood is. What a sequence from him there and a deserved goal #BHAFC

Quintessential Danny Welbeck performance today. Skies his first three clear chances then converts something like that. Great goal. #BHAFC
November 22, 2025 at 4:33 PM
I know Diego Gómez has scored some goals, but I really like Ferdi Kadioglu and Maxim De Cuyper together on the left for Brighton. If Mats Wieffer is going to stay at right-back, I hope we can see those two on the left more often while Mitoma is out #BHAFC

Baleba deservedly hooked at half-time again. I don't even know what to say about him at this point. Just a totally different player than last season #BHAFC

Manchester United could sign top midfield transfer target for less than expected
Manchester United will be arguably the biggest buyers in the midfield transfer market next summer, and there are already a quartet of players high on their wish list in Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson, and Angelo Stiller. The possibility of Man United signing not one but two of these players cannot be discounted, and, lately, they seem to becoming increasingly smitten with Anderson over at Nottingham Forest amidst his huge breakout year on an otherwise awful team.

Can't be too upset about that result for Brighton. Major improvement compared to last year and neither team really deserved all three points #BHAFC
November 9, 2025 at 4:00 PM
Shaky first 10 minutes for Brighton, but after that, it was pretty much what I expected. Cagey match that could really go either way
November 9, 2025 at 2:48 PM
I knew Fabian Hurzeler would get a card in this match. It was guaranteed after he talked about the importance of keeping a cool head in his pre-match press conference #bhafc

Don’t want to overreact five minutes in, but this looks exactly like the Palace vs Brighton match last season. Not good #BHAFC
