This is brilliant - and actually rather useful for anyone teaching methods (correlation isn't causation etc.) to undergraduates.

FT Albion 2-1 Man City 💥⚽

Scenes at the Amex as Gruda’s late winner delivers a huge three points. What’s your one-word reaction?

Bit slow getting out of Lewes, at Falmer now. #bhafc

I'd like anything other than a total thrashing and ideally, would like a 2-1 victory..! 😁

Brighton’s defeat at Everton exposed an uncomfortable issue. #BHAFC
Have they got enough firepower following the sale of Joao Pedro to Chelsea?

Have Brighton left themselves short of a striker after selling Joao Pedro?
Hurzeler says teens Tzimas and Kostoulas aren't Premier League-ready, leaving only Rutter and Welbeck as senior options. Are they enough?

Half way through this and do *not* want it to end.
Yes, it does have some glancing emotional, textural and atmospheric similarities to the van der Wouden.

Which is a very good thing.

Safe travels to away fans and here's hoping for any kind of win and resilience 'til the end of the match!

Also, hoping for a good match day experience here on Bluesky.
The Sky is looking 👌

Now, let’s get 3 #bhafc points

Am I imagining it or did I used to see Michel in the greengrocers that used to be on the Broadway in Haywards Heath?
It is almost 23 years now since Michel Kuipers made THAT double save for Brighton at Moilneux

But it is still the first thing which comes to my mind whenever anyone mentions the words "Wolves away" #BHAFC
The night Michel Kuipers made the best save in Brighton history
Michel Kuipers made arguably the greatest save of any Brighton goalkeeper with a sensational double stop away at Wolves in November 2002

Love this photo. Out pouring from a young guy who's moved to a new country by himself and expected to hit the ground running and perform immediately when given inconsistent game time all season. Huge moment for him. Think he will be a star next season #bhafc

That was amazing!!
⏱️ FULL TIME: Albion 3-2 West Ham

WHAT A FINISH at the Amex! 🔥

Ayari opened the scoring, Mitoma levelled late and Beleba wins it deep into stoppage time!

An incredible comeback and all three points for Albion!
