It's just a game #dcfcfans. Have a good weekend

Think our season is over. Not sure how we come back from this. For all our efforts an average team like Millwall have had more quality than us all over the pitch. There's not the quality to turn this around #dcfcfans

Looks nasty for Ozoh. Could be season ending. Sometimes you just want the season to end so we can reset #dcfcfans

Red gives a pen which never was. Zetterstrom saves a bad spot kick. Can we capitalise? #dcfcfans

Clarke off with a knock. Been one of our best players #dcfcfans Fozzy on for his 6,000th appearance

Could this be a match were we hang on at times but keep in there, tough it out and sneak a winner? #dcfcfans

How did we not score?! Clarke does superbly to get a header in. Keeper deflects onto bar #dcfcfans

Refs been good so far but Nyambe booked for a great tackle #dcfcfans 🙄

Fought our way back into the first half. Ebou and Ozoh solid. Clarke has won everything. Kenzo feisty and positive. Need more threat in 2nd half #dcfcfans

We've been 2nd best in every aspect of the game - but still 0-0. Got to stay hopeful #dcfcfans

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Scrap austerity – tax the super-rich instead. Britain can’t rebuild with more cuts – a wealth tax on the richest is the fair alternative to funding public services and growth.

Because sometimes what you need is a very clear polemical takedown of everything going on right now in the US. With plenty of - absolutely justified - swearing.

If Starmer wasn’t such a plodder he would be increasing funding to research universities, changing visa rules, and actively poaching top quality scientists from America who have lost their jobs/funding. But he has no imagination or vision so he won’t be doing that.

Please sign my petition for the British Government to unilaterally rename the USA to The British Territory of South Canada. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

🚨 Labour/Tories. 🔥 Dancing to Farages tune - they are a danger to us all. 💚 We need to tackle inequality. 🚮 We can't go on like this.

Musk, Vance & Trump all misrepresent democracy. When they say “democracy”, they mean a free-for-all with no rule of law, where the winner takes all. When Europe says “democracy”, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.

Going to say something dangerous, quite possibly out of hope. Best time to get stuffed is managers 1st game. Learn lessons quickly. He's had 1 session with the players. Let's see how we shape up after a week of training #dcfcfans

Honestly less bothered about relegation than seeing some seeds of hope. Would like to see some dangerous passages of play. A few goals. Some improving players. Investment in the club. If it's not good enough so be it #dcfcfans

Now Yates has goal (correctly) chalked off for offside. We have to accept we walked under a black cat, regroup and clobber Millwall next time out #dcfcfans

Yates misses an open goal. Not criticising him but that's our season in a nutshell #dcfcfans

I'm afraid to say QPR just have quality up front that we don't. They haven't been much better than us across the pitch but up front they have quality and coordination that we don't. Our problems stem from summer recruitment - just 1 striker was always a death sentence in this league #dcfcfans

For all the analysis and talk of starting 11, tactics, formations and subs our problem is scoring goals. 2 in the last 7 and a half league games. If you can't score nothing else matters. This has to be number 1 priority for JE #dcfcfans

Incredibly harsh scoreline. A reminder that established teams at this level have match winners who can produce when it counts. We simply don't have that and in games of fine margins it can make all the difference #dcfcfans

This isn't going to plan #dcfcfans. We shouldn't be 2 down.

A lot more zip and purpose about our play. Players look like they have been empowered to take risks rather than play it safe all the time. Very positive #dcfcfans

That's so cruel, a wonder goal out of nothing for QPR who have been second best. Got to keep doing the right stuff #dcfcfans

That was a grind but we had control of the match. Need more incision - 2 up front next time out. Hammy retires undefeated which is fair enough. Let's see what the new era brings #dcfcfans

Holy smoke, Langas is a beast! 😂 #dcfcfans
