  1. I think I might have been wrong about this deal. After hearing David McGoldrick’s interview, I realised that he is not just coming back to Notts for a sentimental reason. He genuinely wants to help the club and he still has a lot of passion and quality to offer. I was too quick to judge him and the club. I thought this was a bad idea for both parties. I thought McGoldrick should retire at a higher level, where he could enjoy his final days as a professional. I thought he had nothing to prove at Notts and he would only tarnish his legacy by playing in a lower division. I thought Notts should look for younger and hungrier players who could help us climb the table and challenge for promotion. But now I see that I was wrong. McGoldrick is not coming back to Notts for a holiday. He is coming back to make a difference. He still has a lot of fire in his belly and he can inspire the rest of the team with his experience and skill. He is not afraid of the challenge and he is not here to take anyone’s place. He is here to add value and quality to the squad. I apologise for being too harsh and cynical. I hope McGoldrick proves me wrong and shows everyone what he can do at Notts. I hope he enjoys his return and makes us proud. I hope he stays away from injuries and plays with joy and confidence. He deserves our respect and support, not our doubt and criticism.
  2. It is interesting that they randomly plucked the cannibal Joss Labadie. Shaun Derry always speaks well; I liked him as a manager and thought we should have kept him. Joss let us down multiple times. I would rather have heard from Mark Fotheringham.
  3. I thought it would be difficult for all three of them; they just never looked like they took their chance. I feel sorry for Jordan Richards because he barely got much chance to showcase what he could do.
  4. I want to get one of these set up from my nearest takeaway, straight to my bedroom. ???? What a genius way to get food.
  5. It is hard not to like Enda Stevens; he just works hard, but I think there is little chance of seeing him step down to League Two, even if the club sold him the ambitions to make it to League One. I could see him joining a good League One team or maybe a mid-table Championship team.
  6. Jodi Jones was Coventry’s key man against us every time we played them. You could see he shined around good players, and we now offer him the chance to revive his career, which I believe he has taken and ran with. Jodi Jones is a great addition to the team. He has shown his worth in the recent play-off defeat, and I’m sure he will continue to do so. His pace and skill on the ball make him a real threat going forward, and he has already scored some important goals for us this season. I’m excited to see what he can do in the future.
  7. This person is not a fan; he cost the club a fine of around £10,000. How can someone who is 28 years old and claims to be a fan of a football club resort to such stupidity for a bet? Did his partner nag him about the amount of money he was spending on tickets and alcohol, so he took a bet to invade the pitch? I cannot make sense of it. I think these types of people are idiots and not true fans of football. Why would anyone want to be banned from watching their club for something so pointless? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-65860254
  8. I recently came across an interesting video on YouTube by Zealand, an American who makes great videos about football. Along with gaming videos, such as his Football Manager career series. FC Heidenheim and Luton Town are two football clubs that have their own unique stories. FC Heidenheim is a more fairytale type story, while Luton Town has its own history and achievements. Both clubs have passionate fan bases and are worth following. One for @DangerousSausage and @Piethagoram. FC Heidenheim 1846 is a German association football club from the city of Heidenheim, Baden-Württemberg. The current day club was formed in 2007 through the separation of the football section from parent association Heidenheimer Sportbund, a larger sports club that has 5,800 members in 27 departments. The club’s origins go back to 14 August 1846, with the establishment of the gymnastics club Turngemeinde Heidenheim.
  9. I added my Twitter signature, which is a motto my father told me when I was 15 and expressed my desire to become a journalist. It’s a nice way to personalise your posts and make them more engaging for readers. Members should be aware that they need to enable signatures if they want to see them. If they prefer not to see signatures, they can disable them. Simply toggle to the option you prefer. Keep in mind that many signatures are actually quite interesting, such as @AmericanPie’s. I’ve included a link below for those who want to check their settings or add their own signature. https://prideofnottingham.co.uk/settings/signature/
  10. I would say something like, "Thank you so much for saving our club from extinction and bringing us back to the Football League. You have shown great ambition and vision with your signings and your support for the manager. You have transformed Notts County from a laughingstock to a force to be reckoned with. You are the best owners we could have ever hoped for."
  11. He’s a very good player and there have always been signs of his potential. I think he’s benefited from having consistent players around him who support his development. He probably wasn’t even on Guy Branston’s radar - Branston seems more focused on his own shoelaces than anything else!
  12. Will Ricardo Moniz work his short-term magic again? I hope his tenure lasts longer this time because he deserves success.
  13. I believe we’ll have a good season and that we, as fans, will play an important role in determining where we finish in the league. I hope those who complain when we lose games will focus on the bigger picture instead of declaring the season over after a single defeat. That kind of attitude makes us look extremely bad. If we struggle, I won’t cry or complain about it - instead, I’ll try to offer constructive criticism and support.
  14. If someone had told me this list in person without showing it to me, I would have thought it was either higher or slightly incorrect. He seems to do nutmegs just for fun!
  15. Rest in Peace, the Iron Sheik. Sgt Slaughter will be running the tributes on you.
  16. Welcome, @MagpieLane. I like your username! I hope you find the Pride of Nottingham to be fun.
  17. Hello, @calw_111. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, I hope you settle in well and join in the conversations.
  18. Welcome to you, @Sirrels County. It's great to see another new member join in.
  19. Hello, @Bigrossco1862. It's great to be welcoming you to the Pride of Nottingham.
  20. Jodi has been instrumental in our promotion and I’m sure he’ll do us proud on the international stage. He has been a consistent and reliable performer throughout the season. He has also contributed to our defensive solidity and offensive flair. He has been a great ambassador for our club and our fans. I wish him all the best for his debut with Malta.
  21. I am surprised because he looked nothing more than average when he played against Notts, but there are far more qualified people out there to assess players than me and most likely Barnsley have watched him multiple times. Best wishes to him.
  22. I don’t know anyone my age who drinks at Costa or Starbucks or drinks coffee. I know some people who drink tea, especially lemon and honey. I personally stick to soft drinks, water and fruit juices.
  23. The victory in the promotion playoff final must have been a thrilling moment for the players. Their attacking prowess has clearly been a key factor in their success. However, it’s important to address the defensive vulnerabilities mentioned in the article. Head coach Luke Williams has called for increased proactivity and aggression without the ball, which is a valid point.
  24. We have to remember that the gaffer is modest and humble and doesn’t like too much praise, but I am delighted to see the site in such good shape and thriving even out of season. Normally, when @Chris goes on holiday the site goes quiet, but I think this time the forum kept itself active and lively, while he took care of the content. The site looks fantastic, and it’s getting better all the time.
  25. Hello, @Stuart jackson. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, we're a friendly bunch always keen to greet our newest members. Please do say hello, yourself. It would be appreciated to hear from you.
