We’ve been into town for the first time in years to see the Christmas Market, it’s very impressive, we did however resist the temptation to try the ice skating instead we had two coffees and two pieces of cake in Patissierie Valery, my god you need a mortgage to eat in that place £17.50!! Glad that’s all we had, I felt quite guilty when we came out and saw lots of homeless people in doorways. ????

Victoria Centre was heaving we were quite relieved to get out and on the bus home, getting too old for shopping in town.

Has anyone noticed the uncanny resemblance of the three of the most successful managers in the leagues.

Pep Guardiola

Enzo Maresca

Luke Williams

It was great to see @Chris today and receive my cap., I hope it will turn into my lucky cap in spite of the result today.  I know Chris begged me not to so he won’t be happy but I will make a donation because I’d have bought one from the shop anyway.

Remember Graham Burke we let go to Shamrock Rovers? He’s now plying his trade at Championship Preston North End and has scored in the last two games for them one in the cup and one in the league, watching the EFL Show on Quest at the weekend the commentator said the goal against Stoke at the weekend was his first league goal, I felt sure he’d scored some league goals for us, anyone remember?

I was wondering if anyone would be up for posting about their exercise and weight loss?

I am lifting my exercise as I want to get down a few more pounds. I'm doing alright, but I want to try to encourage more positive loses. I will be going back to mostly drinking water for the most periods, except orange and lemonade for when I eat. I have already been on a sort of weight loss journey, but life got in the way of me taking it as seriously as I should.

Would anyone be interested in doing me on here, discussing and updating their health progress? It doesn't need to be about weight; it could just be running and being active.

So we're back to business as usual - if you fancy a go, send in your predictions by 3pm on Saturday, and don't forget your joker! And it might be a good idea to keep an eye on possible postponements before posting...

Norwich City v Preston North End

Rotherham United v Swansea City

Exeter City v Port Vale

Wigan Athletic v Lincoln City

Wycombe Wanderers v Shrewsbury Town

AFC Wimbledon v Swindon Town

Sutton United v Harrogate Town

Tranmere Rovers v Newport County

Here we are again, another weekend is upon us.

Curry night tonight and Mrs. T will be serving up a delightful lamb and apricot curry which I am very much looking forward to, I’ll wash it down with a pint of Old Speckled Hen and I’ll be in heaven. 
 

Tomorrow is match day so I’ll be there with George my grandson cheering on the Pies and hoping for a win. I was hoping to do a park run but the course is flooded so that’s out.

Not sure about Sunday yet, probably just a day of rest.

Whats everyone else’s plans?

Today, we’re taking a moment to remember and celebrate the life and legacy of the greatest manager in our club’s history, Jimmy Sirrel. His leadership took us from the Fourth Division to the First, a feat that will forever be etched in our hearts and in the annals of Notts County.

Though it’s been years since his departure, and more since his passing, his memory continues to inspire us. We know that many of you have personal stories, encounters, and memories of Jimmy that you hold dear. Today, we invite you to share those stories with us.

Did you ever meet Jimmy in person? Do you remember a particular match that stood out during his time? Maybe you have a favourite quote from him that still resonates with you? Or perhaps there’s a story passed down in your family about Jimmy’s time at Notts County?

Whatever your memory or story, we’d love to hear it. Let’s come together as a community to remember and celebrate Jimmy Sirrel, a true legend of Notts County.

Looking forward to reading your stories!

I watched the FA Cup highlights and noticed that Enzio is now plying his trade at Eastleigh. They beat League 1 Reading in the 2nd round and Enzio had a hand in both goals, looked like he had a good game.

On Saturday Notts take on Walsall at Meadow Lane, how many links between the two clubs can we find?

Brett Angel came to us on loan I remember him scoring a hattrick on his debut but his stay was short lived he only made 6 appearances, he had a brief spell at Preston N.E. Before moving to Walsall making 61 appearances and scoring 16 goals.

How many more links can we find?
