Stuck in the office on a cold night in Dubai, pressing refresh on BBC and NSC simultaneously. Come on the Albion!

Too ****ing right. Biggest lesson from last night.

Bloody awful weather here this weekend though, blowing like crazy and even raining. We get one occurrence of this a year, and this year it's when the professional golf and cycling are both on.

Apparently Bruno won't be available on Sunday for the Brentford game. After the way he took the Huddersfield wide receiver out of bounds at the 40 yard line in the opening seconds last night, he's just had a late call-up from the Atlanta Falcons for the Super Bowl.

Agree with NooBHA. For once, I'm a little disappointed in CH's selection and tactics. 442 works for us when we're running the show, or competing strongly. It also works when the two 'fluid' parts are there - Baldock linking midfield to attack, Stephens linking midfield to defence and attack. We...

For the first time ever, I'm tempted to switch this off and go to bed - it is 1:15am here, and the best hope we have now is to keep this to 3-1. We need Stephens and Baldock back for this formation to work.

To have gone in just one behind at halftime would have been a miracle. Huddersfield full value for that.

Corners and free kicks are our best hope at the moment, and that was pony.

Anyone brave enough to check the possession stats on BBC? Are we even in double figures?

Christ it's annoying

Yup, including the unbelievable grammatical mistakes and all round lack of any writing style. I know local newspapers are in their death throes, and The Argus is deader than many, but my god this is about as poor as it's possible to get with the written word. HB&B 'articles' aside, that is.

Wow, I had no idea The Damned were still playing even in 1996, so I just looked around online - and the buggers have a gig in Hong Kong next month! I honestly thought they'd retired like 25 years ago...

Wish I had seen: Joy Division, and - though I did see later line-ups - the classic Go Betweens line-up including Lindy and Amanda. Wish I hadn't: I once decided to do six consecutive nights of a Throwing Muses tour. Which was great, except for having to endure the support band Anastasia...

Maybe it's just because their World's Hardest Creature poll hasn't started yet?

Good piece in The Guardian on Forest's woes, including their search for a new manager: "Oscar Garcia is said to have laughed uncontrollably when he received a call..." https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/21/nottingham-forest-bristol-city-championship-match-report

Great move by the owners that. Get rid of a promising young English manager, whom the players and fans like and who's motivated a nothing-special squad up into playoff contention, to appoint a Big Name Manager, whose record is actually pretty lame and has been getting lamer and lamer with every...

Bloody Reading are like an annoying little terrier, they just won't let go of our trouser leg no how hard you shake.

Pivotal? For Wednesday it's pitiful, for Brighton it's the pinnacle.

We always seem to concede really lame undeserved goals to Wednesday.

Yup, if I can stave off my jetlag from earlier in the week and stay up for the 11:45pm kick off time it'll be here in Dubai.
