CLASSY 👏🏻 I’m 4500 miles away, but it’s clear that Sunderland fans are some of the best in the land. So many reports of positive comments and congratulations from them. It’s classy. And it’s appreciated. 👍🏻⚽️ #bhafc #safc

IT’S WARMING UP 🔥 A Friday night rhyme I hope you don’t mind Clocks have gone forward here So I’m only 5 hours behind Meaning it’s 4:15 here And 9:15 there But I understand if you’re in a pub And really don’t care Due to hit 34c here next week. 😎 Have a great weekend. 👍🏻

I WOULDN’T BET AGAINST IT ☺️ The Amex next Saturday Everton at home Verbruggen goes down With a yelp and moan. Hürzeler turns to the bench Surely now Steele, between the sticks? You’ll never going to believe Who he actually picks. 😬😄

SATURDAY, 09.00 & ONE OF THOSE FANTASTIC RANDOM EXPERIENCES Early morning stroll in Prague and I heard organ music and singing coming from a church. So I sneaked in onto the back row. Wow.

JOÃO PEDRO ⚽️ 1of2 Great at pens Just like Glenn But after the reported bust-up It was likely not “if” but “when”. I wish him well Soon to be Chelsea personnel On one particular match I’ll choose to dwell. We were playing away In Marseille Oh, that last min penalty Stayed in the pub all day!

A BIG ONE 🎙️ Off to Germany tomorrow one of my biggest jobs of the year. 🇩🇪 An international gala dinner & awards ceremony to host at Frankfurt’s Opera House. I was there in a pub when we secured European football 24 months ago. ⚽️ No such luck this year. 😬

TheBrightonBard @thebrightonbard.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

NOTES FROM A SMALL CAFE Overhearing conversations this morning reminds me of something that could be of use to us all. Behind the scenes, and despite what they may post on social media, most people face challenges, struggles & lead far from perfect lives. Hey, it’s normal. 👍🏻

TheBrightonBard @thebrightonbard.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

TOMORROW 🙏🏼⚽️ The return of Potter Yes, that old rotter. 3 points, please Man, we gotta. Need a good display We seem to have lost our way We’re currently 10th And it’s nearly May. 😬

TheBrightonBard @thebrightonbard.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

Back in Sussex. 👍🏻 And Mrs Bard is back here next week. 💙 Britain is the most beautiful country on earth for the next 6 months, imo. Enjoy it. ❤️🌳🥀

TheBrightonBard @thebrightonbard.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

TOGETHER….⚽️ As society disintegrates before our eyes, our football club & fans have become one of the last sources of unity, humour & sanity on here. Win, lose or draw, let’s remember we’re bonded by the love of a very special club & it’s incredible journey. UTA! 💙

TheBrightonBard @thebrightonbard.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

DON’T STOP BELIEVING What a Journey Still so far to go All the way? I think we can, you know Just imagine What a thrill After we lay the ghost Of 7 nil What a run We’ve been on since Fabian with A few to convince But not me As I’m sure he has planned An FA Cup final AND the promised land. ⚽️💙

DON’T MISS THIS!👇🏻 What a line-up! I know Brett will have put so much work into this, I just wish I could be in Sussex for it. 2pm this Saturday @ Worthing FC’s ground supporting the fantastic Rocking Horse charity. More here: rockinghorse.org.uk/event/charityf…

If you haven’t tried Air Baltic yet, I can highly recommend them. They fly from Gatwick and have free lightening fast Starlink WiFi which means I could stream this live as I landed earlier. ✈️

I’M ON STRIKE 🎙️ My client’s event starts in a couple of hours here in Latvia. But I’ve told him I won’t be going on stage unless he changes the lighting from Palace’s blue & red to our blue & white. ⚪️🔵⚪️🔵

16.00 IN LATVIA. 🇱🇻 150 miles from the Russian border and, with 1 hour until kick-off, I’ve found a sports bar with the Premier League. 👍🏻 Not 100% sure they’ll show our game as, apparently, there are lots of locals who support Liverpool. Fingers crossed. UTA!! 💙⚽️

TheBrightonBard @thebrightonbard.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

FOOTBALL, EH? ⚽️ Who could have guessed that, immediately after this, we’d go on our best run for 8 years. Keep the faith.

72 HOURS…⏱️ Many already talking About Tuesday night Saying it’s massive And, man, they’re right. Now on a great run Hoping three points we can take Isn’t it amazing what a difference Three weeks can make? UTA! 💙

TheBrightonBard @thebrightonbard.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

ALL IN ALL, A DECENT AFTERNOON 👍🏻 Win vs. lower opposition ✅ Goal difference sorted ✅ Fulham dropped points ✅ B’mouth dropped points ✅ Palace helped us ✅ Clean sheet ✅ Joao Pedro smiling ✅ Shortish trip home for superb away support. ✅ Did I hear you say ‘Europ…?’ 🙂🍺

TheBrightonBard @thebrightonbard.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

BRILLIANT 👏🏻⚽️ I have to say Southampton away Wasn’t that confident When I woke today. But well done, boys Played with purpose and poise And Palace helped us out Which I always enjoys.

I WISH I WAS HERE I wish I was here Bloody good beer Approaching 16.30 Kick-off is near. Instead I’m in the States No Brighton mates Missing Friday night football And the atmosphere it creates. (3.5 hours ‘till KO. Oh, for a few pre-game pints! Enjoy it if you’re there. 🍺🍺)
