Its been an amazing season so far for League One Brighton. We’re top of the league at Christmas, with half the season gone. The dream of moving into our new stadium at Falmer and playing football in the Championship is very much alive. Here’s a litte montage of some of the best moments from The 273′s team in this first half of the 2010/11 season. Big things.

Brighton: Half Way To The Promised Land [VIDEO]
December 19, 2010WTF #11: Little League Football Literally [VIDEO]
September 21, 2010Wow. A team of miniature footballers coached by Moses in a Dwarf Kingdom. What is there not to like about this idea? This video is amazing. Am I allowed to smile/laugh at this, or is that being politically incorrect? Ha ha… oops. Ha.

Lionel Messi at Brick Lane / Hackney Marshes [VIDEO]
September 20, 2010You may, or may not have read in one of the rags this week that one of the worlds’ best footballers, a certain Lionel Messi flew into London for a few organised events with Adidas, and caused a little bit of chaos to say the least. He was apparently gonna play a few show games on Hackney Marshes, but too many people found out about it happening and he got a little mobbed, which is fair enough, as he’s not bad at kicking balls into nets really, is he.
Anyway, here’s a couple of Adidas promotional videos from his visit, and you’ll be able to hear a nice dose of LDZ playing in the background of both pieces… Nice work.

On Mein Head Son! Oops.
August 25, 2010Ha ha ha… I could watch this clip for hours. There’s something about the fact you can see the ball coming from miles away, and you just know whats gonna happen. Apparently the culprit was Ex-Chelsea full back Khalid Boulahrouz… How many points do you get in fantasy football for that??

WTF #6: Socialism, Satanism, Sodomy & Soccer
July 29, 2010Oh my days, this is just too strange. Whether this guy is for real, or a wind up merchant, it makes strangely compulsive viewing. According to Billy Bob Neck, Soccer Football is not a sport because you can’t use your hands, and its all part of a ploy by Barack Obama to atrophy people’s arms so they can’t defend themselves against his invasion force (Invading from where??). And those bloody Mexicans from Uruguay, with ugly names… don’t get me started. Absolutely insane.
• Koaste
And why are we in this FIFA tournament? Take a big guess. Because Barack Osama Homo Bin Laden wants to bring socialism to the United States of America. He wants the entire populace… not to be able… to use their arms…
Who plays soccer? Europeans, Negroes… not American Negroes… but European Negroes… uh… Mexicans… uh… and it don’t matter where they’re from, you’ve got Mexicans from Central America, from Uruguay, whatever, ugly names down there. Mexicans from Brazil, Mexico’s [sic] from Puerto Rico, Mexicans from all over! Playing… a satanic game.
The Future Is Bright – The Future Is Orange
July 11, 2010
In case you’ve been living in a cave for the last month, you may have noticed that its the World Cup final today. Holland vs Spain. Wesley Sneijder vs David Villa. Pot smoking vs Bull fighting. Amsterdam vs Benidorm. Windmills vs… er… I give up. You get the picture. One thing is for certain, and that is the fact its gonna be a close one (I do realise that given my record, just by saying that, I’ve jinxed one of the teams and the other will run out a 3-0 winner). My heart says Holland will take it – I’ve got them in the work sweepstake as well, which will net me a nifty fifty should things work out – but my head says Spain.
Spain have played some incredible football since that 1-0 loss to the watch-makers in their first game, but they haven’t managed to be entirely convincing. Holland’s comeback against Brazil owed more to the samba kings’ desire to self destruct as it did to Johan Cruyff style total football. But neither of these teams have won a world cup before, and that is gonna make it one tasty game.
If Mark Van Bommel can manage to convince the ref that his crunching physical assaults are actually sublime last ditch tackles (seriously – I really don’t know how he’s been doing that), then I really think the Dutch can do it. Hup Holland.

PS: Another one of these from Gio Van Bronkhorst wouldn’t go amiss either!
American Express Community Stadium Fly-Though [VIDEO]
June 23, 2010
All this world cup malarkey might be taking its toll on my state of mind, but there’s one thing thats cheering me up, even if England crash out today. In a year’s time, I’ll be getting ready for the mighty Brighton to kick off in our brand new American Express Community Stadium.
For anyone that doesn’t know, Brighton have been playing for the last eight years or so at the shambolic Withdean stadium aka The Theatre of Trees after our last ground was sold out from under us by the bunch of crooks that used to run the club.
For the start of the 2011-12 season, we’ll finally have a new home, and what a home it looks like it’ll be. Amex have paid around £5m for the naming rights – the biggest ever sum outside of the Premier League – and I’ll be able to watch matches without freezing my tits off in the rain.
Here’s a little flythrough I found, fronted by the LEGEND that is Des Lynam. This video is mainly about the 1901 Club aka The seats for those fans with bucketloads of cash. No disrespect to him, I guess at his age, you want something a little more cosy where you can watch the match, but I’ll be behind the goal with the rowdy crowd. One more year.
