  1. I have never heard of Sporting Life Football, but I checked the actual EFL page, and they have someone else doing their team of the week. It's good to see two of our players make this team, but it seems to be a betting company. Dan Crowley made the official EFL team. James Belshaw in goal too.
  2. MK Dons are unfortunately the bigger club, with much better prospects and a better squad. How bizarre would it be for Mike Williamson to remotely be interested? I prefer Carlisle United, and I do dislike how plastic MK Dons are, but I am realistic at the same time.
  3. @cheeky~k8 found my blood results online, I haven't heard anything back from the doctors re: my recent blood test which was some time ago. I need to get my sugar levels under control, as I scored 42 and I'm still in risk of type 2 diabetes. I have cut down on my sugar intake, but I will start to drink more water again and stay clear of anything that might spike my levels up. I'm actually considering buying a Blood Glucose Monitors. I might be able to repurpose Granny Pie's, as I would just need strips. It's frustrating because I have got the levels down, and not much has changed since then. I have been avoiding things, except for like one off times. At least if I monitor it, I can see what I should be avoiding and see what to switch out. We have been looking at the back of ingredients to check the levels too. ????????‍♂️

  5. Even though I went to the game, I watched this at the first opportunity I had, and I was so pleased to see @ARLukomski doing them. It's a lot for him, I know, but I do enjoy watching and hearing his thoughts. It's why I talked him into joining PON.
  6. Fantastic win for them! Pleased to see them score 6 goals too, plus a clean sheet and into the next round! COYP
  7. Aye, I got that. I didn't have anything to add, other than I do think looking up your family tree for real can be interesting.
  8. Thank you, @TheSkipper. I have really valued your help with the content you've written and with the support on social media.
  9. Happy Birthday, @CliftonMagpie. I really hope you have a great day, and manage to do something special. How old are you? 22?? Whatever it is, enjoy it. Lewis (@TheSkipper) has referred to him 'hop along' and 'waltz' (Waltzing Matilda). ????
  10. Jokes aside. ???? My sister-in-law, @Harrys_Mummy has done a lot of tracing of the family tree. It's something I am curious about, as @cheeky~k8's brother created a family map and was sharing it with everyone during our visit. They're very interesting, I always wondered about my dad's side. I didn't know my grandfather had a then living brother until I attended the funeral and wake. He was a very friendly person, like a bigger brother to my dad (Super has said). He reminded me a bit of Fred Elliott out of Corrie. Just not as repetitive, but fairly loudly spoken. Very funny, I wished I had known him better.
  11. I've always liked him, but for some reason he hasn't been included much at all. I think he looked lively whenever he did manage to play for us, and whilst National League football is a drop in quality - I honestly felt with Macaulay Langstaff leaving that it would present him more chance to kick on here. I don't know if he requested the loan, or Notts did, but it's a shame it doesn't seem to have worked out. I mean, there's still hope the loan move could see him return to us, but I have the feeling he will go back to them on a permanent basis.
  12. John Bostock played a vital role during his time, lesser with Tobi but his character was good to be around. I would always wish the pair well, I think fans who were shocked we allowed Bostock to go, probably don't see that we were trying to bring back pace and it's unfortunate that he had lost his way a fair bit last season. Good on the ball, but defensively he had been much better in the National League for us. I would have liked to see Tobi himself work out more, I thought he improved and looked better in League Two. Not the best defensively or passing wise, plus his heading could go anywhere but effort, and a decent ability to go forward. I hope they're both doing well for their respective clubs, it's a nice photo.
  13. He was once deemed the next big striker, hugely rated and somewhat had a slow start to what seemed like a promising career. I don't think his loan spells from Spurs did him any credit, though I know MK Dons liked him. Not just a striker though, can play out wide and as an attacking midfielder, I really hope he comes good and manages to move on from AZ. They will be good to bring him out, but if he wants to reach his potential I honestly believe he needs to be playing in a better league, with a better team. It wouldn't surprise him if he doesn't return to the Premier League in 3-5 years time.
  14. I think you need to have hunger and self-drive. Missing chances can really affect your morale, but when you believe in yourself and understand that working hard will get you chances, it makes a big difference. The ability to finish, along with other important attributes, can really push you forward. Technically, movement and positioning are two different aspects that often get mistaken for the same thing. You need to make good movements, but positioning is what can give you that extra yard advantage over defenders. Understanding the game’s flow is key to being successful. Sometimes, it just helps to have a knack for being in the right place. I have seen players who had everything you would think they needed, yet barely made an impact as a striker.
  15. Not playing football probably made him struggle, so I wouldn't be surprised if he lost weight during that period and the awful time he had at Oxford. It takes people a little time to adjust, so now he seems fully settled he might be putting on a little bulk. He could also be enjoying the gym more. He's still in great shape. I also think he's playing with a bigger shirt size now, which can give the impression someone has gained weight. He's probably hitting the gym and enjoying his revived career; I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't had spells with depression based solely on how he speaks and talks. In his recent interview with Notts, he looked tearful.
  16. I think it's very easy to get a little carried away, but I think we need to be prepared for a potential bump along the way and if this happens, I think us standing behind the players is vital. Seasons are tough, we're showing great signs and there's everything reason to be excited, but let's enjoy it and try to keep that feel 'good' factor' going. There are a lot of positive signs, which I don't think we would have pulled off last season but again, we got off to a good start then. Injuries and the loss of Luke Williams really took their toll. This said, again, I don't think Notts would have come back to win in such a convincing way if this was the 23-24 season. It's possible a point might have been salvaged, but it's even more likely Bromley would have taken hold of the game and dominated. Two crucial goals for them, at such an early point in the game. This could easily have got under our players skin, but credit to them, they kept focused and showed a spirited performance to get us back into it. I believe Matt Palmer, who has praised the quality we have, his absence was massive, and it's just as much seeing him return. Yet, we have other strong midfielders, all of which offer something different. Jodi Jones sounded like he took it upon himself to light a match under his teammates, combined with a world-class performance (at this level), he really did prove to be the difference. It was great to hear Dan Crowley, pulling off clever passes and marshalling the back - coming away with the ball to release Jodi and other players. Stuart Maynard is showing just as much progress, having the squad we have now, and the quality throughout really must help. So, Robbie Cundy didn't quite perform all that well (from comments I have seen), at least it's not costing us and the gaffer is showing that he's not afraid to make changes. This win will instil a lot of pride within our camp, we need to see the same work levels, and we need to back the players, even when it's difficult. They will fight for results, we need to encourage that.
  17. I would have pitchforks coming for me if I asked this on social media, with people asking why Dan Crowley wasn't listed amongst the runners. I know, with what I said before about David McGoldrick tending to be voted because he scored two and that this might seem exactly the same when I say I would name Jodi Jones. It has nothing to do with his contract renewal, or the fact that he scored twice. It's purely down to his performance, and how he got us back into the game whilst we were still adapting to playing Bromley. He put on an excellent performance, alongside Dan Crowley in the attacking department.
  18. It's called full fat because it retains all of it, whereas semi-skimmed milk is around 1.5 to 1.8. Before plastic bottle caps were coloured, it was easier just to say full fat. In place of whole milk. It might have something to do with marketing, as whole milk is more commonly used in America. Whole milk doesn't taste right to me, I don't like it.
  19. A few weeks ago, it was Forest, and now it’s Mansfield. Ladies, you know what must be done! Good luck. Let's take a Stag home and place it over the fire.
  20. Don't forget, your birthday present was the actual result. I ordered that especially for you, "an amazing 4-2 comeback" just to make your birthday extra special. It's those exciting moments that you remember. ???? I hope you had a brilliant birthday, mate!
  21. @TheSkipper Mark Stallard keeps mentioning the pitch, though he's trying not to go on about it (his words) - it does sound like the pitch is an advantage for them. It sounds like we are sussing it out, but we are getting chances. Conor Grant headed the ball over, just need to keep pushing for that leveller and go on from there.
  22. Jodi JOOOONNNNEEESSSS!! 2-1... What is with our start? Two very early goals, it's quite disappointing, but we can get back into this and something of it.
  23. Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @Pica. I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community.
  24. I have seen footage on the news, I also know someone who attended and the amount of people who attended - very befitting of Sven's goodbye. The football community was truly united to bid farewell to Sven.
