Albion out of the #WomensFACup at the first hurdle. Notts County put everyone behind the ball, nicked a sloppy penalty and we lacked the urgency or invention to break them down. Back to the league against Boldmere on Wednesday. Big reaction demanded. #WBA

Brilliant 2-0 win away at Norwich for Albion Women to go 10 in a row. Riya Mannu scored a goal of the season contender and of course you hear my stupid croaky voice doing a Gerald Sinstadt in the highlights. Just as well the game was next to an airport because we're flying at the moment. #WBA #FAWNL

I went to watch the planes land and a football match broke out. Flightradar24 links in the alt text if you're interested.

Nine days as an office junior at a shitty accountancy firm in Cradley Heath when I was 17. I was in over my head and got let go but the owner was an arrogant prick.

I don't know why anyone's been complaining about lack of football during the international break. I've seen #WBA play five and win five since the menz team played the dogheads.

Violence isn't only physically attacking someone. Violence is any kind of aggression or misuse of power over another vulnerable individual which injures or causes imminent fear of injury. I'm a victim and witness to all three while cycling. I think Tom understands the topic better than Emmett here.

Cycling activists would get a ton more public support if they avoided framing debates over things like bike lanes like this. Emphasize SAFETY, yes. Bike lanes make cities better. They can even make DRIVING better, by reducing congestion. Invoking 'violence' in ways most people won't buy isn't it.

Evening. A routine 3-0 win for Albion Women at home to Sutton Coldfield in the County Cup. Should have been a cricket score. Now up to eight wins in a row. #WBA

'Woke' is a word dickheads use to describe progressive ideas they don't understand. I'm not sure what's 'woke' about a car that wouldn't look out of place in 1990s Batman cartoons. I mean, it's shit but let's be sensible.

I utterly loathed school photos day. If I was ever cursed with a... child, they'd be given my permission to refuse to have any photo taken, anywhere and even by me, and there'd be hell to pay if they were forced to have it done against their wishes.

Social media has been rotting for over a decade yet it has enabled nearly all of my offline friendships. I've met all but two of my Facebook connections. Those I knew from the IRC days. It's fine making a show of deleting your accounts and demanding others do the same – some people rely on them.

The correct answer to Newport is a tactical nuke at the top of the Corpa but there's a lot of nice countryside as you get out of town on the Nash Road. You've got the sea wall at Goldcliff and the nearby Wetlands. The relief road either cuts them off or wipes them out.

'No jobs on a dead planet'. Spot on. The UK needs to stop building rods and invest in alternatives such as walking ,cycling and buses. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Disappointed by Albion Facebook's lack of horse jokes on Neil Clement's birthday. It wasn't a day at the races to play against Clem. He wasn't one to lay down when it mattered. #WBA

I spent an inordinate amount of time creating my Regulatory Litigation spell so the least you can do is enjoy it. The incantation is engraved on the Star of Asterisk. Mansour, Book-cooking, One-fourteen charges proved. Mansour, Book-cooking, One-fourteen charges proved... #MCFC

Albion Women away to Norton & Stockton Ancients in the next round of the #FAWNL Cup. Looking like the end of a thereabouts 60-game run for me. Don't want to drive all that way for a cup game unless I can get something else into the journey. Watch us win 8-0 now. #WBA

Let this be your introduction to Blind Guardian.

SUPER excited for this, after a year of chasing the angle, 30 minutes of waddling around up and down a parking garage, and over 6 hours of editing: A murder of crows flies towards the camera, in front of the full Moon, set to Blind Guardian's "Nightfall" and the sound of the crows themselves. 🪶 🐦‍⬛

Evening. A 2-0 win against Sporting Khalsa this afternoon gave Albion the points and first place in Group N of the #FAWNL Cup. Should have been a bigger score but Khalsa made it difficult to break them down and their keeper played a blinder, including a penalty save. #WBA
