I'll still keep my eye out on the National League, pretty much always have done tbf. It's a tougher league than most give it credit for but this season has put more eyes on it so I hope that more people also start following as well.

@AmericanPie I know some people on here don't play it but it doesn't mean people can't get involved there'd still be a voting process for the winner tbf. It might not even take off but it's worth a go ain't it.

Goal of the month starts today. Make sure to record goals that you believe to be contenders for goal of the month then upload them on the 29th of this month. Gives time for a poll to be up before revealing the winner on the 1st of July. We'll start with a max of 2 goals per person. Try get 10 goals in the running. More can be added if needed to complete a 10 goal list.

There's a football equivalent to Wordle based around England players past and present. https://engle.land/ ENGLE 190 3/6 ⚡1 ⬜????????⬜⬜???????? ⬜⬜⬜????????????⬜ ???????????????????????????? https://engle.land @engle_land

@super_pie oh 100% it's the one thing that frustrates me on FIFA when people pass across goal to score an easy tap in. But, you might surprise yourself could be a worldie or a well worked goal.

@Chris yeah that's what gave me the idea. The other night I scored a great goal that I was properly satisfied with but it wasn't a screamer, the play beforehand was great to see. @liampie yeah I only play for an hour or 2 till my missus gets home from work. On weekends probably a bit longer, sometimes. Just thought it was something new to introduce. Obviously it'll be changed to EA Sports FC starting from the next game ????

Does anyone on here play FIFA? Was thinking of having a new monthly content like MOTD have on the first show of each month. FIFA players upload their favourite/best goal they've scored on the game and create a poll see who gets goal of the month. What's everyone's thoughts?

Luton's rise has been absolutely remarkable and this video just about sums up and puts into perspective how big of an achievement it is for them to go from Non-League to Premier League. Hopefully we can replicate something similar.

My bad, I'm new to this game didn't realise Lee Hughes had already been used. First player that sprung to mind with that description ????

Lee Hughes

I sincerely hope we can replicate something similar. Under this management and ownership, I can't see why it wouldn't be possible. Luton's rise has been unbelievable. I remember them being in the Conference on -30 points. Just think 5 years ago, we were playing both Luton and Coventry in League 2. They both have a chance to gain promotion to the Premier League. We can only dream of replicating something similar, although I feel like it needs to be gradual.

Quite like Nemane tbf. He's always looking for space down the wing, not afraid to directly go at players, get down the wing and try make things happen. He had a field day at Wembley, being a wide pitch.

The pressure was more on Notts than Chesterfield for this one. 107 points, 117 goals and still not enough to win the title. Football can be a cruel game and in these one off games the season means nothing. Fortunately for us, we got the job done and back in the Football League. It felt like one of those games where nothing was going right and it just wasn't going to happen for us. Langstaff shooting wide after being played through by Palmer, Austin sending his shot high. We did lack abit of quality in the final 3rd though. Everything was good building up to break Chesterfield down but despite being in some good positions we just couldn't get anything to materialised and things broke down and crosses going astray. Nemane did well down the right hand side and caused a lot of problems. Bostock for me was MOTM controlled the game well and let off some good passing play. On first glance, I thought the penalty was a soft decision but having seen it a few times it was the right call. The substitution to bring on Mair in preparation for penalties from Luke Williams was a stroke of genius and well thought it. Both his saves were brilliant, especially his second. I have to admit, I've watched that save more than anything else in this game ???? When Bostock stepped up to take his penalty, I thought the win was in the bag. No idea why he thought it was good idea in that situation to try a panenka. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he missed on purpose to give Cedwyn Scott a chance at redemption for his missed penalty against Wrexham and allow him to score the winning penalty to take us back in to the Football League ???? One thing about this game and the one against Boreham Wood is the fact that this team does not quit and they show real heart to get the job done.

@Fozzy @CliftonMagpie He's a player I quite often signed on Football Manager back in the day and he seemed to fit the bill so had to take a punt on him. I've read a lot of articles about him since he got diagnosed with MND.

Gonna take a guess at a player we had on loan as he seems to fit all the above and say Stephen Darby.

@DangerousSausage 100% didn't think we were out of it going in to HT trailing 2-0 with the way we were playing. I did though like the fact that despite trailing and time getting on needing a goal to get on level terms, Notts still stuck to their game passing the ball around patiently waiting for an opening especially considering how much Boreham Wood were sitting back defending their lead. It was frustrating at times but there was belief that we could claw it back and they did just that. As nerve wrecking as it was, it was all worth it in the end.

Never do things the easy way. Should've been 2 or 3 up in the first half. But fair play to the lads they dug in kept fighting stuck to the game plan and got the job done. High line got caught for the first goal and sloppy pass to gift their second. Didn't think we deserved to go in HT 2-0 down which I'm gonna guess it's what Luke Williams would have said to the lads at HT. Just wasn't Ruben's day, normally he'd be putting away those chances he had today and the penalty save just topped it off for how his day went. Aden Baldwin deserves credit, gave warning after warning about his shooting ability and the first was a cracker. Went to sleep allowing them in, which could have made it 3-1, but he was there to get a touch and stop it going in. Jodi Jones was hit and miss after coming on but he delivered when I counted both setting up Baldwin to take the game into extra time and then scoring the winner. Not forgetting Nemane who was brilliant down the right and made an important interception. Also Langstaff, despite not having many opportunities, still getting into them areas. Unfortunate not to get at least one. But he gave some work, especially when he got back and battled to win the ball following a counter attack. On to Saturday. 1 win away from returning to where we need to be!

I'll take that point. Second best throughout the game. Managed to deal with Tozer's long throw in really well time and time again. We were slow at moving the ball, they were able to regroup easily and pressed us down fast not allowing us to move the ball freely. Fortunate not to go 1-0 down as on replays it looked to be onside. There were times we looked threatening moving forward just a lack of support at times. Slocombe has to take full responsibility for the equaliser. Poor goalkeeping hesitant at claiming the ball in when he should he claiming it.

We all have our own opinions on international football but the internationals should he cancelled while the whole pandemic is around. Here's why I think it should be stopped. Iceland have been given exception to travel to the UK despite playing in Denmark that are on the UKs travel ban list. Secondly, let's trace players for example Harry Maguire played against Ireland. Maguire plays for Man United. David De Gea is a team mate of his and plays for Spain. David De Gea is team mates nationally with Sergio Ramos who plays for Real Madrid. Real Madrid have multiple nations in their squad. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that start a spread in multiple nations? ???? Plus, Alan Browne tested positive a day after playing for Ireland against England. Players will be going back to club football with which their are multiple nationalities. For me, the internationals shouldn't be going on. We're in lockdown to avoid spread and have travel bans in place yet nations can travel from place to place.

Totally agree with this part. Speaking as a father, my daughter started her first year in school last year but because of the first lockdown she missed out the rest of her first year from March. She went from learning so much at school to then slowly forgetting most parts. Even with home schooling. Children at the same age as both mine, 5 & 3, home schooling isn't exactly a learning environment. Home is where they feel comfy. TV, toys, their own things, all distractions from them learning. Since my daughter went back to school in September, she's learnt so much more again and has even been praised and awarded a certificate for her willingness to learn. There's only so much schools can send out to help children learn but a child still learning in their first few years of school may get confused by teaching methods at home as it may not be the way it is in schools.

@eighteensixtytwo finally someone with a bit of sense. I'm a person that dislikes government figures but everything that's happening defying the government don't make you big or clever. The sooner we listen the quicker it'll be over. Does my head in that even in these tough times people still find it suitable to call the government play politics and blame them. Stand together and we will strive.

@Countyman apparently he had it, there's been a lot spoken about the fact he quoted "Visited" as if to say he had it and now its gone But the thing is.. 1. The spread would of been a big amount considering him being at the game v Milwall 2. Arsenal and Man City game postponed due to Arsenal having played Olympiakos which he was at the game but the players aren't being tested.

@BromPie i read earlie that Korea are reporting a decline in new cases same as China. Now if China and Korea are both reporting decreases, thats a step in the right direction.

@liampie it's guidelines now where all work will be genuinely taking every precaution
