oooo nice! i hope you have a brilliant time in dubai. lets hope you go seeing notts claim 3 points. Thank you @liampie we will do our bestest, and 3 points would be a bonus. We return on the 18th so will also be back for Crawley at home. Also Mrs P hits the big 60 on the 21st and celebrations are now being prepared by our two sons, therefore another 3 points would be adding to the already prepared knee's up. 🥳👌⚽️ Then return to normality on the 22nd, where does time go?

Here are the predictions from midshires. Blackburn Rovers 2 v 1 Norwich City Watford 0 v 2 Southampton Barnsley 1 v 1 Huddersfield Town Wigan Athletic 1 v 2 Stockport County Barnet 1 v 1 Colchester United Bromley 2 v 0 Harrogate Town Hartlepool United 2 v 1 Boreham Wood Morecambe 2 v 0 Woking 🃏

A lovely weekend had with our two young granddaughters in Mablethorpe, not a raindrop in sight and a climax of pure blue sky yesterday. I also have had varifocals for the last few years and as @Robbie says, they don't take too long to get used to, and once that takes place you don't realise when wearing them and they become part of you. So @Fan of Big Tone dive in with open eyes. Back to work today (only for 4 days though) soon be the weekend. Then 5 days until Dubai for an 11 night break, can't wait. Will have to get a move on after the Fleetwood game to get to Heathrow Airport though and bed down for the night. Have a good day everyone. 😀

All the best with the job interview @CliftonMagpie routine is something we can't do without. It's instilled into us from day one, for me it's an important part of my life, couldn't function without it. Having routine really helps where mental health is concerned also, easing day to day woes and worries. That is one reason I am still working at 68, it gives me a purpose which in turn schedules the day in advance making everything routine.

As they say, you can only play the team that's in front of you. Last evening I think everyone was apprehensive regarding playing the Shrews. But have no fear we did what we had to do and allayed all our fears. I think we are now starting to see results that Martin is striving for, the fitness, players gelling with each other and the football getting close to the Notts County we know and love. Do not be mislead though it was far from perfect but definitely looking better. I think that Bromley will give a more accurate idea of where we are at this moment in time. Well done everyone for getting our chins off the floor and cheering voices up a notch. COYP.

Woke up this morning and looked out over the sea, it seemed so calm, as though all was at ease with the world. Hope is not always fulfilled I'm afraid to say, but for that minute it worked. Took my lovely wife to see one of her favourite singers yesterday evening, Friday. She totally emersed herself in the vocals of Olly Murs for 90 minutes. It's nice down here on the south coast, Sunny Margate is giving us the most.

The scores now arriving from mid shires are good and on time 😀 Preston North End 1-2 Leicester City Swansea City 2-2 Sheffield United Leyton Orient 3-0 Stockport County Reading 0-2 AFC Wimbledon Barnet 1-1 Walsall Tranmere Rovers 0-1 Gillingham Aldershot 2-1 Boston United Hartlepool United 1-0 Braintree Town View and be amazed at the quality of guessing 😍 👌

Thursday, and what a beautiful, gentle morning it is this morning. The suns rays carefully caressing all as it meanders it's way through leaves and branches of the surrounding trees. A lovely light breeze carrying the cool of the day intermingled with the cacophony of early morning birdsong, what a great privilege to be alive and have the ability to hear, feel and smell one and all.

This was a game of two halves as they say, and in the first half we just went through the motions or so it seemed. I think it proved that Jodi is no number 10 and needs to get back to the position where he is devastating and can be more productive. As for most of the second half and after the 3 substitutions we played alot better, which has to be a positive moving forward. MP the onus is now on you, your players and your team of backroom staff to keep the momentum going into Saturdays game against Barrow. COYP.

🤔 totally confused. Think i must be thick. Sorry Chris.

I think all today's players need to have a good look at themselves and ask the question, did I leave all on the pitch today and therefore was i proud representing my club and the fans that turned out to watch a very poor performance. I know and understand it was our first league game at home this new season and that could and would make players nervous, but not for the whole match. Martin it's time for some tough love and putting one or two or maybe more players in the know regarding the fact of who they are playing for and the standard required.

What a beautiful morning here in the midshires, the sun is shining and we have a little breeze keeping all cool at the moment. At work again for the 5th day and still no vehicle so I can do my job?? Looks like another day in the office couped up and restricted. Although the nice walk home should compensate for that. Managed to get out for some lovely food last evening with Mrs P and number 2 son. I had Sweet potato, Leek and Cheddar cheese pie (cheese,onion and potato pie really) just poshed it up a little. I haven't had that since I was 10 years old and my Mum used to make it at least once a week and we had it with baked beans, happy days. 😃

A big welcome @Stevelatimer enjoy your time on the rollercoaster that is Notts County.

I would like to welcome you to PON @muskan761947 with open arms and a heart full of joy. Dive into the conversations, tomfoolery and never looks back.

Once again it's time to delve into the deepest depths of football wizardry. Here goes ⚽ 😄 Oxford United 3 - 1 Portsmouth Stoke City 0 - 2 Derby County Exeter City 1 - 2 Blackpool 🃏 Mansfield Town 1 - 2 Doncaster Rovers Gillingham 2 - 3 Walsall Oldham Athletic 1 - 0 Colchester United Tamworth 2 - 0 Scunthorpe United Wealdstone 2 - 1 Truro City Having come out of the trance and put the football sorcerer's hat back in the cupboard i can now breathe again. 🤣

What a good positive interview, filled with enough information to show that he is a genuine guy with a hunger for knowledge and a great understanding of what is needed to bring success to the club. He talks well and obviously has the backing of the brothers. All in all an interesting interview, both allowing us to meet and hear his message and hopefully understand his position and attributes.

There is no one bigger than the Club, and although Jatta is a reasonable goal scorer, he's not the problem. Greedy agents are nowadays ruining football and that is a crying shame. Surely the Club has realised the situation and have something in place to counteract that possibility. 🙏 Let's hope that over the next 4 games either someone steps up to the plate or is brought in to remedy our attacking deficiencies. ⚽️ 👌🤔

For me Matt Palmer gave a very good performance and never stopped. He made himself available all the time, his distribution was positive and work ethics second to none. Jacob Beddau impressed also with his attitude, running and willingness to retrieve the ball all over the pitch. Good point for the Pies.

First of all my thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the Notts fan taken ill before the match. As for the game, I am sure that every individual on that pitch gave their all and we should have been at least 2-0 up by half time, the unfortunate thing is you don't get points for near misses,saves and hitting the woodwork. I agree with @Fan of Big Tone Matty Platt was fouled prior to them scoring, which to me highlights the standard of refereeing once again. Over the whole game i thought that several players played well, but one or two were still bedding in and that will come with time. Overall I think we have a team and manager that will do well this season. COYP.

Good morning one and all, Looking good here in the midshires. Match day number one for our beloved team, expectations are high as we go head to head with Newport County. All I ask for is that every individual playing today gives their all, leaving nothing on the pitch and enjoys every minute of playing time. COME ON YOU PIES. ⚽ 👍

In The Beginning. Second of the eighth is where we start, The first of many to tug at our hearts. Travelling away for our first encounter, Rodney Parade where we must not faulter. Black and white army ready for the new season, Hearts full of pride, Cos we have good reason. Martin and his team through pre season worked hard, Players fitter and faster, won't give a yard. Alfreton, Germany, Cardiff and one no one could see, Giving us momentum, hardening and total unity. Now our Team Notts County we turn to you, Because we love you through and through. Do us proud and make everyone shout, Give your all, leaving nothing to doubt. We believe in you, our Super Magpie team, Three points from this game is definitely not a dream. COYP.

Absolutely smashing, another season of wonderful football about to begin. All the best everyone, may the best person win.😃🏆 Bradford City 3 v 1 Wycombe Wanderers Doncaster Rovers 2 v 1 Exeter City Lincoln City 0 v 2 Reading Plymouth Argyle 1 v 2 Barnsley Barnet 1 v 0 Fleetwood Town Cambridge United 1 v 1 Cheltenham Town Grimsby Town 3 v 0 Crawley Town 🃏 Walsall 1 v 2 Swindon Town These are the feeble attempts from the deepest depths of nothing. 😃 🏆

A super welcome to you @Chedozie enjoy the company and great comradery on our site. 😀

If Macca requires a loan team to go to, I can think of one right away. Someone who is without their main striker for a few games. Bring it on 😀 ⚽ Glad to see he still has the positive mentality to get goals, whoever the opposition are, mind you he always was a natural.
