I like words. Long words. Words that sound good. Made up words. Pleasing combinations of words. Grammar is for losers. I like other stuff too like geekery, travel, photography, allotmenteering, food/cookery/baking. I blog at Whitemore.com

Good. Now arrest those who were with him for conspiracy, and then arrest those who tried to set fire to a hotel for arson. And then proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation. Which is what you are if you use violence for political ends. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The UK desperately needs an independent national news broadcaster that can be trusted by everyone. Unfortunately, the BBC is not it.

Another loss. Really feel for the players. Much more coherence and threat going forward. Genuinely exciting watching Meister and Fuseini. Crippling bad luck with injuries and a few decisions. But so long as we defend like that we've no chance. Would settle for next 3 at 0-0 #dcfc #dcfcfans

Comedy moment as Brum player spoons ball over empty net from 3 yards out. Langas watching once again. Can we punish them? Time yet, keep the faith #dcfcfans #dcfc

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Such a frustrating watch. I can't remember us being so vulnerable defensively. We're much improved going forward but if you keep gifting the opposition 2 goals there's no hope. It's not just the goals conceded, it's the goals almost conceded #dcfc #dcfcfans

Sickening to concede from a corner. Cashin blatantly fouled to prevent him going for the ball. When it rains it pours #dcfc #dcfcfans

Holy smoke, we can't catch a break. Meister carried off with an injury. He's been superb today. Hope it's not too serious #dcfc #dcfcfans

Got to be better when we lose the ball 2nd half, otherwise we'll concede more. Game there to be won and we look much better going forward. Hope we can put our stamp on this game #dcfcfans #dcfc

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
JE chose an attacking line up and it worked both ways. A trademark Ward cross leading to our goal. A trademark Ward failure to stop their cross leading to their goal. Maybe we just need to outscore them #dcfcfans #dcfc

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Time to drop Langas. Off the pace defensively & slowing things down going forward. Need fast mobile players running at defenders. Lots of good parts but not a good whole. Massively missing Morris. Szmodics coming deep leaving box empty. We have the tools, just need to assemble them #dcfc #dcfcfans

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Gutted by that. We've had seasons when we can't retain or progress the ball well but we defend well and take our chances. Now we are much better on the ball but we aren't good enough in key moments at either end. So frustrating #dcfc #dcfcfans

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
It's hard playing against 10 defending a lead but we're not doing enough. Too slow and easy to defend. Despite our dominance can't see a goal coming #dcfc #dcfcfans

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Why on earth aren't we leaving Fuseini up when they have a corner? It's hard to understand #dcfc #dcfcfans

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Ward putting good crosses in and 2 target men - this is better #dcfc #dcfcfans

timwhitemore.bsky.social @timwhitemore.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Sanderson playing on the right wing while we lack presence in the box - just Szmodics vs 3 big defenders. I'd swap Dion for Meister and move Hedges out wide. Move the ball quick and tire them out. #dcfc #dcfcfans

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns." The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.

Nick Robinson on Today is literally talking about ‘legitimate concerns’ after second night of organised men dressed in black - sorry ‘protesters’ - mobilising en masse in another littoral town. This is how street fascism is normalised

3-0 really isn't a reflection of this game. They have a Prem squad worth £225m and three times our wage bill, but we gifted them first goal and paid too much respect 1st half. Think JE was juggling the squad with busy week ahead #dcfc #dcfcfans
