Great to see England win the U/21 Euros. Really pleased for Brighton’s Beadle and Hinshelwood - two great talents. Hopefully big future for both. @officialbha.bsky.social

A long day, with flight delays, but it ends up with a home quarter-final in the FA Cup against Forest or Ipswich.
A gritty comeback to win after-extra-time. Welbeck does it again against Newcastle. #BHAFC

Finally got to redeem my Christmas present in Paris … a visit to Notre Dame to listen to the beautiful choristers led by Sarah Charles singing Monteverdi. The rebuild and refurb is stunning - in part you experience the building as it was 860 years ago. Thank you Lady B for Christmas

Absolute highlight of today was visiting Christchurch Primary - a school with a massive heart on the smallest of sites, right at the centre of its community in Sandfields. A great energy injection at the end of a full-on week

4-0 win. Into the 4th round of the FA Cup. Confidence boosting goals for Rutter and Enciso. Solly March scores after 14 months injured. Welbeck returns. And we even got to see King Shane Duffy

I'd say that is a pretty bloody good day's work for Brighton #BHAFC
