Each of these headlines came after a #BHAFC game.

Every week, Brighton fans are subjected to homophobic chants.

This is the reason the rainbow armband exists.

Clubs and players across the league are seemingly questioning the campaign, but do nothing to stop abuse week in week out.

Fabian Hürzeler is doing an excellent job at #BHAFC

How high can the Seagulls go?

Throwback to when #BHAFC beat Bournemouth 2-1 at the Withdean in 2001.

Dick Knight cut a giant birthday cake on the pitch at half time to celebrate 100 years of the Albion, and someone called Eddie Howe scored at both ends.

Baleba is a superstar in the making.

He is currently the second highest rated player in the Albion squad (Sofascore) and arguably the most important player on the pitch at the moment.

Carlos can defend, dribble and attack - making him a true force to be reckoned with and a rare talent.
November 19, 2024 at 10:35 AM
Carlos has a 90% pass success rate and ranks 3rd in big chances created among Albion players.

His possession lost per game average is one of the best in the squad, with 13 Brighton players losing the ball more frequently than him.

Baleba is also demonstrating a growing goal threat.

He has 4 goals and assists in all competitions, and ranks 4th for total shots per game (1.8) and shots on target per game (0.6).

He has even mastered the art of a backflip celebration.

Cont ⤵️
November 19, 2024 at 10:35 AM
But Carlos is not just a great defensive midfielder, he is exceptional on the ball too.

He ranks 4th among Brighton players in successful dribbles per game (1.1) and has the highest successful dribble percentage (67%) of any Albion player.

November 19, 2024 at 10:35 AM
Following the transfers Bissouma and Caicedo in recent years, Brighton lacked a defensive presence in midfield last season.

This season, Baleba has turned that around.

Baleba leads #BHAFC players in interceptions per game (1.7) and tackles per game (2.4)

If you weren’t one already, this thread will make you a Baleba 🧵

#BHAFC signed Carlos Baleba for €27m from Lille in 2023.

The Cameroonian midfielder, now aged 20, had a mixed first season but has now become one of the most talented young players in Europe.

Let’s take a look at his impact ⤵️
November 19, 2024 at 10:35 AM
🚨🔵 #BHAFC has the most players ranked in the ‘Top 100 Most Valuable Players Under-21’ in the world! 🌎

No club has more players represented in the list released by the CIES Football Observatory.

Ferguson, Baleba, Minteh, Hinshelwood, Enciso, Gruda and Buonanotte make the list.

8 months ago, #BHAFC faced Roma in the Europa League.

While the result didn’t go in our favour, it was a ‘pinch yourself’ moment for many Brighton fans.

When Roma lifted their 3rd Scudetto at the turn of the century, Brighton were 68th in the English football pyramid.
November 18, 2024 at 6:47 PM
Is this Brighton’s strongest possible XI? 🔵⚪️

Close calls to make at LB between Kadıoğlu and Estupiñán, and at RW between Rutter, Minteh, Adingra and March (if he can refind pre-injury form).

Ayari and Hinshelwood unlucky to miss out.

Fergie and Enciso have the potential to claim a spot.

It’s great, but no suprise, to see so many #BHAFC fans embrace BlueSky.

I’ll never forget how Brighton reacted when right wing protesters threatened to spread hate.

I’m excited to be part of a movement to build a more positive and compassionate online community 🔵⚪️

▫️Gross: 30 Goals
🔹Welbeck: 29 goals
▫️Maupay: 26 goals
▫️Murray: 26 goals
