I doubt I’ll get many likes, so this list might be a little on the small side, which is a shame as there’s a mountain of #VideoGames I wanna share… 😅

But, let’s give it a go… 🕹️

Worth remembering 5 wins for 6…

But it was frustrating to throw a 2 goal lead so needlessly. Self-imploded!

For me, Eustace got the subs horribly wrong. Big Pat looked lost without guidance.

Losing our star player is devastating. Sounds like it’s “season ending”, but I hope not…

RamsTV has humbled me on the Access All Areas feature from the Fans Forum! 😅

Why the camera decides to linger on me for like 5 seconds… especially looking down disinterested 😂

Looks set to be a rainy one! Although, hopefully not as wet as the Hull match! (Although I’d take the result!)

Guinness 0% & drying off…

So, what we all thinking today, #DCFCFans?

Well done Derby City Council. Erecting flags or any other items on street furniture is illegal. It’s a disgrace that a sinister movement have been allowed to bully and blackmail for their own agenda. If a flag falls onto one of these characters, they’d be the first to sue

I’ve been told that next up for me, from her, will be #TheHungerGames. So that should be fun?

Won’t be long until it’s my turn to share a saga again… and I’ve already got the best one in mind… 👀
My #LetterboxdFriday is a little different today.

Recently, I told my GF that I had not seen any of the #Twilight movies - much to her shock. So, she educated me!

Not as painful as I’d imagined. The chair one-shot was impressive. And the ending genuinely fooled me (bravo) 😅.

Guarantee some folk take Eustace’s jokey comment about going for Will Hughes in January as gospel! 😂

It’s clear he prefers the training pitch and dugout, but he still cracked a few gags and clearly has a good relationship with Pearce.

Owen Beck returning to Liverpool was always on the cards, for me. If he hadn’t played 5 consecutive games before Jan 1st, I’d have sent him back.

Not his fault, but it’s been a wasted squad spot. We need to address that in January, although a creative CM and wide players remain a priority IMO.

VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it

That was an incredible game of football and I couldn’t be happier for #Scotland!

Two sensational goals and an audacious lob to see the Tartan Army into the World Cup finals.

From a #DCFC perspective, this will hopefully spur Max Johnston on, once back from injury, to make the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 WC squad.

Shabana Mahmood on the BBC this morning talking about desperate people fleeing war and persecution as being given a "golden ticket" and "handouts" and saying she's got a "moral mission" to take them away from them

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

Review: #ItWelcomeToDerry - S1:E3

"The lore and history of Derry come to the forefront in this gripping episode, which delivers ghoulish chills and tantalising exposition. The introduction of new characters promises to make the next instalment even more compelling."

I’m amazed… 😅

We got lucky, but we’ll take it!

Blackburn - horrible club, horrible fans (last few times), so I’m enjoying that!

#dcfc #dcfcfans
We’ve needlessly surrendered this second half to Blackburn.

I’ll be amazed if this finishes 2-1…
