PSF - The Potters (H)

Team: Stoke City

Date: 08/07/2023

Where: Meadow Lane

What line-up should Luke Williams opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

Have to feel sorry for both of these. Gary O'Neil did well for Bournemouth, managed to keep them in the Premier League and pulled off some great results with him as head coach. While Darren Moore got Sheffield Wednesday promoted after guiding them to one of the greatest comebacks in football. 

The Bournemouth one is understandable as they had a replacement already lined up with how quick the new manager has been announced. However, I feel that's a bit shady from the club to already have someone lined up before the man in charge is still at the club. Never liked clubs like that. 

I'm not buying the whole mutual consent situation with Darren Moore that seems to get thrown around as a cop out by the club. I could be wrong and I'll stand corrected if it is actually the case. 

What's everyone's opinion, if you have any, on these sackings? 

So how many on here has joined Threads?

It's gained a mass following already, which was expected. It's definitely a work in progress but I think it's gonna succeed.

just letting people know, my account on facebook has been hacked. i have created a new one because facebooks account recovery is a joke. please unfriend the existing account, i do not trust the person who got hold of my account.

i have no idea how its happened but i have reset all my passwords.

I was under the impression that you can’t copyright appearance, but you can code. TikTok is a direct imitation of Instagram that incorporated new features and made itself trendy by appealing to young people. Meta’s Thread does look similar, but you can’t claim exclusive ownership of features. I think Elon Musk is just preparing for the wrong battle.

Twitter is considering legal action against Meta over its fast-growing rival app Threads.

Threads, which was launched to millions on Wednesday, is similar to Twitter and has been pitched by Meta bosses as a "friendly" alternative.

Twitter's Elon Musk said "competition is fine, cheating is not" - but Meta denied claims in a legal letter that ex-Twitter staff helped create Threads.

More than 30 million people have signed up for the new app, according to Meta.

The look and feel of Threads is similar to Twitter, BBC News technology reporter James Clayton noted. He said the news feed and the reposting were incredibly familiar.

In a move first reported by news outlet Semafor, Twitter attorney Alex Spiro sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday accusing Meta of "systematic, wilful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property" to create Threads.

Specifically, Mr Spiro alleged that Meta hired dozens of former Twitter employees who "had and continue to have access to Twitter's trade secrets and other highly confidential information" that ultimately helped Meta develop what he termed the "copycat" Threads app.

Morning all. How are we? What plans have you got for this weekend?

For me it’s curry night tonight, my favourite meal of the week.

Tomorrow I’ll be doing another 5k Park Run it will be my 76th Park Run I want to reach 100 so I can get a special milestone T-shirt with 100 on the back.

Matchday tomorrow I guess most of you will be there but I’m waiting for the league games to start before I attend. I’ll be keeping a keen eye on the score though.

Sunday we’ll be having a BBQ again weather permitting you’ve got to make most of the summer.

What plans have you got? Or if you’re reading this late what did you get up to?

Nice Greggs pre-match and the PA system is loud.

- Brindley got caught out a few times. Some good recoveries but Campbell got the better of him numerous times. Campbell is a Championship after all though and I'm sure we'll be in the market for a centre-back. The high line on both sides has been exploited but we needed to face a team who were going to show us our weaknesses, so we can fix them now.

- Crowley picked up space nicely and drove us forward on the counter. The more games he plays, the more he'll get used to our system and how we play. The link up play with Nemane will get there too.

- Stone is good with his one-on-one shot stopping. Makes himself big and despite a few loose passes, I'm sure he'll step in comfortably to be No.1. When you play like we do, you're always going to run the risk of playing loose passes out from the back. 

- On the ball, there might not be many better at this level than Didzy. He was making it look easy at stages and his link up play with Macca, once it gets going, is going to be excellent. He offers that quality from the leagues above that you need. 35, but plays like he's 25.

- Cisse was quick with his feet and direct when he came on. Looks promising. Mahovo struggled at first but was better in the second half. Needs a loan as he's not ready yet. 

- Randall looked alright at LWB. One of his favourite ways of playing, is to cut inside and shoot. Got back well, just need to adapt his play to run outside of his man.

Obvious we need a right sided centre-back. Jesse Debrah please. Would add a centre mid as well for competition.

Notts have smashed through the 5,000 barrier for season ticket sales with a week left at the cheaper price.

Who's ordered theirs? I have to reveal that I haven’t bought one because I like my holidays which means I miss quite a few games and  I’m not keen on night matches on cold nights so I pay on a game to game basis but being an OAP I get in cheap anyway.

Hello, @nottsfan81. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham! Now that you’ve joined and made your first post, we’re excited to hear more of your thoughts on Notts County. Why not introduce yourself to our friendly community? You’ll receive many warm greetings.

On Saturday 9th July Notts are playing Stoke City at Meadow Lane.

Stoke have had many famous players over the years but how many players, managers or coaches can we name that have links with Notts County?
 

Heres one to start you off, Dave Kevan played for Notts 1986 to 1990 making 89 appearances and scoring 3 goals, he also spent a spell as caretaker manager 2009-2010.

How many more can we name? Over to you.

Adam Summerton gives his view of who will be promoted from league 2. 
Do you agree?

A new “twitter like” app will be launched on Thursday by Meta (the owners of Facebook), it will be linked to Instagram so will already have a huge potential following.
