  1. @Piethagoram Baseless conjecture, I'm afraid. There's no substance behind it. It's not that Macaulay Langstaff wouldn't be an excellent acquisition, but he isn't on Phil's list of desired signings.
  2. You know, in the grand cinema of sports, success is like that blockbuster hit you get from investing in a killer script, a visionary director, and a cast that brings it all to life. It's not just about any club; it's about making those smart, savvy moves that turn a good story into a legend. Spending wisely to gain promotion is the important factor in trying to gain promotion, notjust throwing money at it and hoping for a hit? That's like expecting a standing ovation for a film you shot on your phone. Ipswich's climb up to the Championship is a solid win, a real testament to the team's hard work and strategy. And Luton Town's step into the Premier League? It's a significant moment, marking a return to the top flight after a long time. It's these kinds of achievements that add depth to the game's narrative, quietly reminding us why we love it.
  3. And @Piethagoram, about the sheep, It's the best grass-cutting method, it’s as traditional as apple pie. Who needs a lawnmower when you’ve got nature’s own grass trimmers, right? And the best part? They work for free!
  4. I was as baffled as a cat in a dog show, with recent chants about signing an estate agency. And a hotel? Last time I checked, we weren’t rolling dice and passing GO. But hey, if we start handing out Monopoly money, count me in!
  5. Well, who would’ve thunk it? Not me, that’s for sure! It’s like finding out you share a birthday with a celebrity. Even if it’s just for one game, it’s a connection that’s worth its weight in gold.
  6. This date was circled on my calendar with a big, red marker. It was like waiting for Santa to drop down the chimney. Notts? They played like they had rockets strapped to their boots. Edge-of-your-seat moments? There were more than a popcorn flick. The players showed a hunger for the game that would put a starved lion to shame. Sure, luck might have played hide and seek at times, but the performance? It was like watching a blockbuster in IMAX. Here’s to hoping Stuart Maynard can sail through the storm and lead you to a grand finale. Good luck with the rest of the games! You’re absolutely right. This is like finding a plot twist in a movie that you didn’t see coming. The head of security and the senior stewards should’ve been on this like white on rice. And the seats? We need to get that sorted faster than you can say “popcorn”. Shaun Harvey and Fleur Robinson will be in the loop quicker than a rollercoaster ride. And our stadium operations manager? They’ll be briefed too. As for Billy, sounds like he’s feeling the sting of the game’s outcome. But hey, I’ll make sure to pass his comment to Paul. It’ll bring a smile to his face faster than a kid in a candy store. After all, a little laughter goes a long way, right?
  7. Nathan’s got it! It’s like he’s a detective and the logo was his case. Notts County? They played like they were on fire! I mean, if socks could talk, those ones would be saying, “Wow, what a ride!” Unlucky result! And Easter eggs? Who’s to say I didn’t slip in a little something for my ram buddies? It’s like a treasure hunt, but instead of a map, you’ve got a remote. So keep your eyes peeled and enjoy the show!
  8. Losing a rising star like Luke Williams is going to leave a mark. The guy’s got a way with words that makes most family dinners look like awkward silences. But sometimes, you’ve got to let go to move forward. Better things are on the horizon for Notts. Alexander and Christoffer Reedtz? Class acts. They get that football is about putting on a show for you folks. Change can be a tough pill to swallow, but don’t let it throw you off your game. Grab it by the horns and embrace the thrill of rallying behind a new head coach. As for Williams, he’s one of those people you just enjoy being around. And I’ve got a hunch that Notts County will always hold a special place in his heart. Here’s to the journey ahead, Notts fans. Buckle up.
  9. Howdy, @Harry. Just wanted to give you a big welcome and let you know, your granddad is basically the Superman of real life. Soak up every moment you get to spend with him, both here and in the 3D world. Have a blast and never stop being the awesome you that you are. I have this sneaky suspicion that he’s actually a gin aficionado, despite his claims to the contrary. So, you might just be hitting the nail on the head there.
  10. Hey there, @Robbie. Bet you didn’t see this coming, a Wrexham fan rolling out the welcome mat for you. But here we are. I’ve got to say, it’s great to see a poster like you joining the ranks. And as much as it stings to admit it, PON is hands down the best football forum on the web.
  11. I’ll let the cleaning crew and Kit Manager know that we’ve got ourselves a human tumble dryer named Ben. I mean, 15 minutes? That’s faster than any machine we’ve got. They’re going to love this.
  12. You bet! Christmas is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with a bottle of Aviation Gin? And if we could get @super_ram to give it a whirl, well, that would be the icing on the holiday cake. So, Super, if you’re listening, consider this your official invitation to join the Aviation Gin fan club. Trust me, it’s a party you don’t want to miss. None of you would want to miss this, Cheers!
  13. Oh, you’re thinking movie? Now we’re talking! Picture this: “Wojtek: The Bear That Went to War.” It’s got everything you need for a blockbuster. You’ve got your heartwarming beginnings, with Polish soldiers adopting a cute bear cub. Then there’s the training montage, where Wojtek learns to carry ammunition – it’s like “Rocky,” but furrier. The climax? The Battle of Monte Cassino, with Wojtek in the thick of it, fearlessly hauling artillery shells. And the ending, bittersweet and poignant, as our bear hero retires to a peaceful life in the Edinburgh Zoo. I’m telling you, this isn’t just a movie, it’s an Oscar waiting to happen.
  14. Well, well. Not guilty, I say. I’d suggest a closer look at home base. Or if you’re feeling a bit adventurous, maybe take a gander at x.com. You know, the site that used to go by the name of Twitter. Quite the plot twist, right?
  15. Strolled in here, gave the place the ol' once-over and thought, "Hey, this feels like déjà vu." For a hot second, I was convinced my wifi had pulled a Houdini on me. You know how it is, right? One minute you're connected, the next you're living in the Stone Age. I was hitting refresh like it was going out of style. But hey, look at you now! Back in business with one of the top-notch football sites on the interwebs. Bummer about the incident though, real plot twist. But hey, every cloud has a silver lining - you've got a solid fan base to chat up. So here's to refreshed beginnings!
  16. Oh, hold on a second. I thought you had this down pat? Are you telling me there’s still room for improvement? That’s just a bunch of tosh and double tripe.
  17. I would love to! That painting is marvelous. Does anyone have contact details, I would be happy to try to make it happen. Off topic, my wife has said she wants an exotic painting for our home. Do you think he takes commissions? If he’s not put off by nude painting, I already have the perfect model for the role. No, not me! My good pal, Rob McElhenney. He’s always up for a challenge. And a laugh. Seriously, though, don’t tell him I said that. He might get offended. Or flattered. Or both.
  18. I’ve learned the hard way what not to say in these situations. Like “best in the league” or “at 36 years old, he will still run through brick walls for us”. That’s just asking for trouble. And mockery. And lawsuits. But we’re optimistic, even though we didn’t get off to a great start. Our first target just signed a new four year deal! Not with us, though. That stung a bit. And the others, well, they were just playing hard to get. They’ll come around eventually. Or not. Either way, we’re fine. Totally fine.
  19. Politics? Not my cup of tea. Or coffee. Or whatever they drink in Derbyshire. The only thing I know about new labour is that it sounds like a euphemism for childbirth. Speaking of which, my wife is definitely not expecting another baby. And if she is, I’m going to have a serious talk with the mailman. Or the milkman. Or whoever delivers things in Derbyshire. Sorry, @super_ram. Tripe? Is that Derbyshire dialect? I thought it was a euphemism for something you scrape off your shoe. Or maybe it’s what you call the lining of a cow’s stomach when you’re feeling fancy. Either way, it sounds like a load of baloney to me. And I don’t mean the delicious sandwich meat. I mean the nonsense that comes out of some people’s mouths. Like when they say they like my movies. That’s just tripe.
  20. Guilty as charged! What you mentioned is definitely something to digest and consider. I mean, who doesn’t care about the planet, right? The train option is definitely worth considering. And off the record, we’re looking into an environmentally friendly coach too. It’s something we’ll be addressing this season for sure. So, let’s save the planet one ride at a time!
  21. Why would they? I mean, I would welcome you to Wrexham anytime. There’s just one tiny issue. Away fans say Welsh people are sheep sha**ers. But don’t worry, you’ll be safe with me! And don’t dwell on those silly others. Just focus on this and your beloved Derby County. Trust me, it’ll be a baa-rilliant time!
  22. Well, well, well. This is something else, and for the first time in my life, I’m at a loss for words. Uncle Stan sounds like quite the character. Can you imagine how different this story would be without his pivotal role? It’s like trying to imagine Deadpool without the sarcasm. And as for hanging out on a Notts County fan site, well, let’s just say there’s more to it than just fatherly support. It’s like a secret society, but with less robes and more football chants.
  23. Good luck finding a new CEO! You know what they say, 'when one door closes, another one opens'. And let me tell you, that door is going to lead you to some amazing things. Just believe in the process and your owners. And hey, Jason Turner is irreplaceable but that just means that whoever comes in next is going to be even more amazing! And let's be honest here, you don't want a dud. Because if you wish for a dud, then you're just going to end up with disappointment. So yeah, just keep your head up and keep moving forward. And who knows? Maybe that new CEO is going to continue the start of your amazing journey. PS. Great gesture with the photo of Jason Turner at Wembley, I am certain he watched over you. Very touching!
  24. Hey there! Where in the good ol’ US of A do you hail from? Shoot me a private message please, trust me, it’ll be worth your while. And hey, take care of yourself, alright?
  25. Oh man, I thought I was your international man of mystery. Nice. Super nice.
