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… 🕹️

Spoiler-free thoughts on the first 4 episodes of #StrangerThings Season 5…
- Mostly good, with a few sprinkles of greatness.
- Heavy on exposition, with plot beats and reveals telegraphed and a tad predictable.
- Story is too large scale now, show has lost intimacy.
Now we wait…

Carlton Morris out until February/March is the “best case scenario”.
Even if he’s back on the grass, suffers no setbacks, and gets first team minutes, you’re looking at April before he’s consistently playing 90 minutes.
So, in reality, it already feels like a season-ending injury.

An early #DCFC goal, and this team could crumble, given their recent form.
However, after 20 minutes, they look the side most likely to score.
Very disjointed from Derby so far, especially up top - none of the attackers are marshalling things - another thing we’ve lost with the Morris injury.

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…

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

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) 😅.

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.

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
