This looks great. As a veteran of the broken down bus to Tirana, I’ll be searching for the reports about that.
(But if anyone can offer a home to hundreds of back issues, dating back to single digit numbers, they’re yours if you can collect from Birmingham.)

this is great. been browsing all weekend. hard to beat having a paper copy in hand, but the odds of me venturing into the loft and sorting out boxes of back issues are quite long now. interesting to see the early issues especially. don't think the magazine has moved from its core message since.

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 👏

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.
