By me, in the November issue of @wsc.co.uk (WSC 458), out now: Match of the Month, featuring Derby v Preston - ruminations on TikTok, statues, subtly altered retro shirts and time wasting. Includes perhaps the season's most hapless throw-in so far. The photos by Paul Thompson are excellent as ever.

Just read this on the train. It’s a brilliant piece of emotive football writing that you all should read* The article captures the sheer joy of playing football so well. It’s convinced me to get back out there and play. Thanks for a superb piece, Tom 👏
* @wsc.co.uk is always packed full of it.

Been a really rough year mental health-wise, so here’s an article I wrote for the new @wsc.co.uk about how I’ve been able to self-medicate by playing football. It’s in the shops now! Was really cathartic to write so I’m very grateful to WSC for letting me do it.

When I’m not scribbling my thoughts about the mighty #CFMTL, I also write about French football. I was so pleased to see my short piece on Rennes’ away kit (2010-11) published in the latest @wsc.co.uk, a fantastic football magazine in England. Merci WSC!

Had the honour of writing the National League preview for @wsc.co.uk; it's hard to mention all the teams with proper insight so apologies to Halifax for the snarky bit about the pitch but hey ho, I was ruder about York (sorry @jim.londoncentric.media). Honourable mention for my new local team.
