    [Albion] There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.

    Doubt they'll have the readies prepared just yet seeing as the last attacking player they loaned off us was Manu

    [Albion] There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.

    We've loaned Soufyan Ahannach to Go Ahead Eagles (best club in the world) for six months

    [Albion] Paul Barbers Notes About Fans/Customers in Villa Programme

    The "large number of people writing to us" bit has got to be a Didn't Happen of the Year. I can imagine someone persuaded him to drop "and praise our pricing and approach to plastic bottle tops and flasks" from that sentence.

    [Music] Stereo Underground - BBC Radio Sussex

    Tired old Britpop for middle-aged men with sad eyes. Artist of the week is usually someone like Shed Seven. People who go to Shine On email the show calling their mates legends. It's great!

    [Music] Stereo Underground - BBC Radio Sussex

    I find it massively depressing how much I enjoy it and how recent most of the tunes feel. Death is coming

    [Misc] Ended up watching several hours of Graham Potter

    I cannot stop watching the first 45 seconds of this. It makes me feel better about my early morning state that a proper person also seems quite shambolic.

    [Drinking] Alcoholic/like a beer or two too much?

    This is worth listening to, although you have to put up with a bit of earnestness and swallow the stuff about Tony Robbins, NLP etc: https://drchatterjee.com/is-it-time-for-a-tactical-break-from-alcohol-with-andy-ramage/ I don't expect it'll make me life any less shit but the stuff about...

    I really enjoy cheering people but find all the talk of times and distance details a bit tedious sometimes. Whatever your ability, you've still got up early on a Satdi morning and run (or a Sunday and raced) - it's nice to smash 20 minutes or whatever but it doesnae really matter. I've seen...

    [Music] The Live Music thread

    I was thinking of doing that. Are they any good for £12? I can already envisage it being half-full of veterans in Smashing Pumpkins t-shirts supping ale - not that there's anything wrong with that, of course, but it might mean I trudge despondently out halfway through. Jeffrey Lewis is playing...

    Got offered a ticket but have work. Dur. Please let us know how Young Knives are, if you can be arsed. They could be some indie relic playing biennial tours but instead they're getting more gothic and weird all the time, because they've got too many ideas not to experiment, and I like it a lot.

    [Albion] Giroud?

    Atletico and Inter are both interested. You'd have thought if either made an offer, he'd go. Atleti still in the Champions League but lacking goals, Inter in Europa where he was top scorer last season. Also has the Conte link from Chelsea

    It's like De Botton on steroids intit. Wouldn't react

    Brilliant on all the PBs. Have had a wretched month mentally but emerged on Saturday for a 20:01 5k. Tediously nerdy but I think Peacehaven Parky is a bit too long - probably by about 150m. Anyone thinking of doing both Hove runs on NYD?

    [Film] It's a Wonderful Life

    This feels very much like the template that should pop up for most of the comments on any of the Guardian critics' articles

    [Food] Amex food quality and cost

    Got stuck on Satdi as I was starving from gym and the uni shop was shut. Tried the Quorn noodles as I assume the halloumi burger is rammed with fat. There wasn't any Quorn in it. No flavouring either. It reminded me of when what pals I had oop north - who'd never cooked veggie before - tried to...

    [Politics] The General Election Thread

    What is the cut-off point gonna be at which people don't vote for the worst? Fifty people sleeping in every single doorway between Mile Oak and Scoomb? Having to pay a bill when a relative is on their deathbed? Having to join another queue for that skiing holiday to a luxury French chateau...

    [Politics] What's your election day schedule?

    I've got a bumper day of League Two and Europa League stuff, which isn't always ideal for lifting the spirit, and then I'm tempted to go and get smashed in town. That's almost undoubtedly counterproductive, though, as it's not like being told we're screwed in numbers is going to come as a huge...

    [Politics] The General Election Thread

    For a (largely) highly intelligent group of people, this kinda thing is so misguided. Like pouring bleach down your throat to cure a tongue ulcer. The country is anti-Semitic. The hard-right Tories and the people they associate with and enable hate everyone who blocks their way to greater...

    [Politics] The General Election Thread

    I get that there's no point in giving up, if it gets one 20-year-old to go vote who wouldn't have done so etc etc, but this kind of thing just comes across as fairly disingenuous. Even a lot of the people organising campaigns are feeling pretty anxious and demoralised about Friday - I'm not sure...
