Inigo Calderon stays. I'm happy

Another season of dissapointment in store but away games will always be enjoyable!

Cheer up Nick, season hasn't started yet, you might get a pleasant surprise, get a few decent players and you never know.
I know what you're going through I've watched some dross over the years in a Boro shirt, keep the faith.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 16 May 2015, 10:42 am

I'll still be there mate, don't you worry about that. I'm just not getting my hopes up.

by FootballLight Sat 16 May 2015, 1:58 pm

Well, we both had high expectations for this season and they have both faded to nothing. Its fair to say both Brighton and Reading have had poor seasons. At least we finished higher. Wink

A season of Hughtonball - christ I feel for you Nick

by dyrewolfe Fri 29 May 2015, 12:55 pm

Well I know at least a few Boro fans who will be happy you're still around. They say Brighton do the best pies in the league and the Amex stadium is a great place to visit. Wink

by NickisBHAFC Sun 31 May 2015, 2:33 pm

Yeah 100% best pies in the league and Tbf its probably best ground to visit apart from Brentford for different reasons.

Need to visit Middlesbrough, so happy your still around, even though we never seem to beat you!

by NickisBHAFC Thu 11 Jun 2015, 5:26 pm

David Belloti has died. Life moves on.

No signings yet. Panic time is approaching.

Its a good spot alright.

Has one hell of a pier.

Wouldn't mind getting them away in the fa cup.

Brighton interested in Sammy ameobi - Frak lol

by NickisBHAFC Mon 22 Jun 2015, 12:31 pm

I don't take any interest in who we are linked with until I see a picture of the player holding the shirt up.

Best way Nick.

by NickisBHAFC Mon 22 Jun 2015, 2:12 pm

I think it's more to do with how shambolic are football club is at concluding transfers.

by NickisBHAFC Tue 23 Jun 2015, 8:51 pm

A SIGNING AT LAST!

Liam Roseinor is a good signing at this level. Can play right or left back.

2 centre backs, 2 Wingers and 2 strikers still needed. Not done by a long shot.

by NickisBHAFC Wed 24 Jun 2015, 10:47 pm

2 signings in 48 hours incredible.

Tomer Hemed has arrived from Almeria. The last striker we got from there wasn't bad at all and managed to get a tasty 10 million for him. The last Israil internatioal we signed is probably one of the best if not the best centre mid in the league. If this guy can be like both of those players we may have found one!

He will be a flop though I suspect.

by NickisBHAFC Thu 25 Jun 2015, 3:30 pm

Crofts, Baldock and March all set to be fit for start of pre season.

Nice touch.

by NickisBHAFC Tue 30 Jun 2015, 12:09 pm

Brighton vs Forest will be the opener for the football season 2015/16. Live on SKY on the Friday night. What a dire game to choose.

by NickisBHAFC Thu 02 Jul 2015, 8:46 pm

Bong bong bong bong BONG!

Not sure how good of a signing he will be but sure he will be acceptable enough for LB.

Just need a centre back partner for Dunk and that's us sorted for the defensive side of things.

by NickisBHAFC Mon 06 Jul 2015, 5:40 pm

Signed some random Finland keeper.

Him and Stockdale battling out for the number one position.

Means Walton will head out on loan.

by NickisBHAFC Wed 22 Jul 2015, 3:51 pm

Just found out we have a friendly tonight against Crawley. Hopefully we play more of a first team tonight than we did on Saturday against Lewes.

Easy win. Actually looked a decent side.

4 signings at least needed for the new season though.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 02 Aug 2015, 7:46 pm

Pre season ends with a 1-0 win over Sevilla.

Serious business now on Friday night against Forest.

Still think we are 4/5 players short on being genuine top half/play off chasing side.

by NickisBHAFC Mon 03 Aug 2015, 10:47 pm

HES BAAAAAAAAAACK!

Ooooooooo BOBBY ZAMORA!!!!!

I never ever thought I would see this day in my life!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 03 Aug 2015, 10:52 pm

Should keep the physio busy for the next season

by NickisBHAFC Mon 03 Aug 2015, 11:13 pm

I don't care if he sits the whole season out!

Tonight was just absolute scenes!

by dyrewolfe Tue 04 Aug 2015, 1:22 pm

Don't worry - I can practically guarantee he'll score against us. Probably a last-minute 2-yard tap-in, resulting in a scrappy 0-1 for you guys at the Riverside. Wink

by NickisBHAFC Tue 04 Aug 2015, 1:36 pm

Oooooooooo Bobby Zamora oooooooooooo Bobby Zamoraaa

by NickisBHAFC Fri 07 Aug 2015, 10:58 pm

Fantastic start to the season with a 1-0 win against regular underachievers Nottingham Forest.

Thought we looked very sharp and the players actually looked like they wanted to put in a shift and give this fantastic football club 3 points.

3/4 players still needed, a lot to work on and a long season in store. Let's enjoy it and enjoy Fulham away next week! The best away game last season.

Final word. Outstanding from the Nottingham Forest in the well observed minutes applauds for Don Lock.

by NickisBHAFC Tue 11 Aug 2015, 6:40 pm

Southend tonight in the cup.

Like every year, couldn't care less if we lose.

by NickisBHAFC Tue 11 Aug 2015, 9:55 pm

Another win. Another 1-0. Another Lua Lua goal.

Fulham away this Saturday. Can't imagine it will top last seasons incredible game, however the same trend this season would be very delightful!

SEEEEEEEEEAAAAGULLLLSSSD

by Guest Thu 13 Aug 2015, 7:13 pm

You been reading the rumour of us giving you Mike 'donkey' Williamson + cash, for Lewis Dunk.

by NickisBHAFC Fri 14 Aug 2015, 9:58 am

Yeah I'll take cash but not that clown of a footballer!

by NickisBHAFC Fri 14 Aug 2015, 8:20 pm

Jamie Murphy signs from Sheffield United. Just need one more attacking player and then that's us done.

Fulham away tomorrow, really missed these away games or though my liver certainly hasn't!

by NickisBHAFC Sun 16 Aug 2015, 10:39 am

What a fantastic away day it really did have everything!

2 wins out of 2, top of the league. Lovely stuff. Not getting carried away though, millwall were in this position last season and look how that ended up.

Huddersfield away on Tuesday night. Reality check time.

by NickisBHAFC Tue 18 Aug 2015, 10:47 pm

Fantastic start continues with a 1-1 draw away at Huddersfield.

Still unbeaten. Blackburn at home on Saturday #WeGoAgain

by NickisBHAFC Wed 19 Aug 2015, 10:14 pm

Just signed some defender from Shrewsbury who seems to be pretty good.

Dunk's off. My source tells me Newcastle haven't made contact, so Fulham will be the most likely destination.

by TopoftheChops Sat 22 Aug 2015, 6:56 pm

See you next week! Would never have this game down as a top 2 showdown!

by NickisBHAFC Sat 22 Aug 2015, 8:20 pm

Another cracking win! Top performance and still sitting pretty in the league.

Murphy looks a really handy signing.

Ipswich away next week, think it's fair to say a point would be a cracking result, gonna be a really tough game. 33 quid paid for the ticket wasn't enjoyable as well, managed to get the train on the cheap though.

by NickisBHAFC Mon 24 Aug 2015, 5:46 pm

Obviously Saturday's win was completely overshadowed by the terrible events at the Shoreham Air Show.

2 people who lost there life's were both Albion fans, who play for county league side Worthing United. Matt Grimstone worked as a groundsman at the training ground whilst Jacob Schilt played for the Brighton REMF game against palace in the summer.

Tragic time for all. Football league rightfully announcing minutes silences across the league cup programe tomorrow evening.

by NickisBHAFC Mon 24 Aug 2015, 9:24 pm

Strange day. Lewis Dunk finned for refusing to play against Southend a few weeks ago. Seeming obvious he was going.

Now signs a 5 year contract. Him and Uwe should be a great partnership though.

by NickisBHAFC Tue 25 Aug 2015, 4:53 pm

Walsall tonight in the I don't care if we lose cup 2nd round.

I'd really consider making 11 changes.

Change the entire back 5 from Saturday, rest Lua Lua, Kayal, Stephens, Baldock and Hemed.

by NickisBHAFC Tue 25 Aug 2015, 10:47 pm

Out of the pointless cup.

Full focus on the league.

Ipswich away Saturday, toughest game of the season. A point would be brilliant but we have to be realistic. None the less a boozy day in store!

by NickisBHAFC Fri 28 Aug 2015, 4:31 pm

The way the club has acted this week since the tragic events of last weekend, makes me so proud to be a supporter of this fantastic football club.

Ipswich away tomorrow, our first real stern test of the season. However we have to be realistic, not many teams are going to pick up all 3 points away at Ipswich.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 30 Aug 2015, 7:58 am

That game had everything! Goals, character, atmosphere, tough challenges, Brighton doing there best to almost throw it away, Zamora playing and most importantly a WIN!

Fantastic win though and a really good away game to match. The perfect tribute to the tragic events last week, sure Matt and Jacob are both looking down smiling. R.I.P

Really excited but still early days. Also the signing of Elvis Manu is decent. Happy times to be a Brighton fan at the moment, let's enjoy it whilst we can!

by NickisBHAFC Tue 01 Sep 2015, 8:58 pm

Fantastic transfer window comes to an end, the club really have learnt from the shambolic summer last year and have acted very well this year, squad looks good and hopefully should get us a top half finish.

O'Grady leaving today, I'm in the very small minority that is gutted to see him go, although he never scores he does hold the ball up well and causes defences a problem. I think he will get goals at Forest, think they will need him in there relegation battle.

by NickisBHAFC Fri 11 Sep 2015, 2:42 pm

Now that the international snore fest is over we can get back to proper football.

Hull city at home, first vs second, should be a cracking game at the Amex.

Regardless of the result, the game is being dedicated to Matt Grimstone and Jacob Schilit. All fans hopefully in there seat for 14:30 when the tributes get underway.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 12 Sep 2015, 7:21 pm

Fantastic game today, but the result was never going to overshadow the superb pre match tribute that the football club provided. Fantastically observed from both the Albion fans but the hull city fans as well. The club really did make me and all of the supporters proud today.

The game itself, well another big team have been slayed. Wolves away will be a tough game next Saturday but before that bottom side Rotherham visit, now knowing the championship like I do, Rotherham winning would be so typical of this division!

by westisbest Sat 12 Sep 2015, 7:52 pm

Might want to change the thread titile.

Certainly not depressing for Brighton fans so far.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 12 Sep 2015, 8:25 pm

Wait until Christmas Wink

But tbh mate it's already toppled last season completely. Fulham away last minute, Ipswich away and the tribute match today have already made this an incredible season.
