  1. Fitzsimons 7 - Kept the score under 8 

    Turley 6 - Did what he could playing out of position. Almost scored a bicycle kick. Stood up to Mamadou Thiam well in the first half

    Ward 5 - Did well in the first half but then he was part of the second half capitulation

    Brisley 5 - Same as Ward

    Evina 2 - I have no idea in the world what he was thinking for the 4th goal. With Jones just as bad I don't know why we bother starting a left-back anymore

    Hewitt 1 - At fault for the second goal and just pure tripe

    Milsom 1 - Part of a midfield that looks like it's been slimed by the ghostbusters virtually all the time. Pass back pass back what you gonna do, what you gonna do when Milsom passes it back to you

    Boldewijn 4 - He tries but playing hoofball to him will never help

    Thomas 2 - Get rid. First touch of a camel and can't beat his man. How Blades signed him I'll never know

    Alessandra 1 - Generous 1. Head of a peanut and just goes round in circles. Like a yo-yo with a never ending string. 

    Dennis 2 - Played long ball to yet again. We never play to his strengths. He must be the most annoyed footballer in England right now

     

    Subs

    Etete 3 - Tried but the game was far out of reach

    Jones 2 - Got barely any touches of the ball when he came on. Game was over by then

    Dunn N/A - Completely didn't know he got subbed on because I was too annoyed

     

    Kewell 0 - "Improvments." "Take your chances." We had 4 shots all game. 1 on target. Improvements despite capitulating second half. Says it's a free game then names an unchanged team. No game should be a "free game." Every game should mean something. That's basically saying "you don't have to do much today, the pressure is off." Tactics are non-existent. Playing long ball up to Dennis and Enzio. Puts four defenders on the bench. Wants to play good football but then starts the two least creative centre mids. Says players like Kellett, Patching, Crawford and Husin have got to work hard to earn their chance. What about the current starting x1? They haven't done anything to suggest they should keep their starting place.

  2. So pop vinyls have released there Football range of player at the minute it’s only Manchester United and Chelsea and a selection of others.

  3. Good morning PoN it’s matchday, it’s going to be a busy day for me so I won’t be able to listen to the commentary because me and Mrs Big Tone are going To a volunteers conference at a hotel in Derby, we will be learning all about the workings of the charity we do voluntary work for and meeting other volunteers, it will be informative but tiring I expect. To be honest I’ll be glad when it’s over I’m not good at meeting and talking to people.

    When we get back we are having our two youngest grandchildren for the night, while their parents have a date night.

    I’ll try to get on here later if I can, meanwhile have a great day, let us know what you’re up to and COME ON YOU PIES!!

  4. So I thought a few jokes on matchday may help us smile and start the day off right.  

    So ive done a few jokes below and I hope you guys would love to add your jokes to. 

     

    Why did the witches loose the baseball game.? Because their bats flew away.

    why couldn’t the leopard play hide and seek.? Because they always got spotted.

    father asked his son for his report card son says I don’t have it I gave it to my friend. Dad asks why son replied because he wants to scare his parents. 

    Why did the singer Adele cross the road to sing hello from the other side

      I came out of the event I’d been to and on the way home I switched the radio on just in time to hear the third goal go in so I switched straight back off again.

      Let’s face it we didn’t really expect to win did we? But if I’m honest some teams of the past would have made a better fist of it, last seasons team would certainly have done better.

      However it is what it is and it looks like we are going to have a serious battle to avoid relegation I hope Kewell and the players are up for the fight because right now it’s not looking good.

      I listened until we went 2-0 down, then I switched it off. When Stallard remarked that we were basically playing seven at the back while 2-0 down I knew what was going to happen. Once again we've collapsed under pressure, once again we've been thrashed, once again it's an easy win for the opposition and once again we deserved to lose. Sick and tired of it.

    4. Chris

      Chris

      Jake informed me whilst we on our way to see my mum, he said then it was 2-0. I'm not bothered, a good cup run would have been nice but I didn't expect win because we have no momentum right now.

  6. Guys and girls I’ve got a question is there another football league or team you follow out side of England.? 

     

  7. All four English sides in action It was a match day 4 that proved to be intreating. 

    Mancheester United, 2-1, Juventus

    Manchester City, 6-0 . Shaka Donetsk 

    liverpool,0-2 Red star Belgrade

    spurs, 2-1 , PSV 

    so in a match day 4 that saw united play there best game in the champions league come from behind leaving them second two points behind Juventus.

    city hit 6 past Shaka Donetsk with a Penalty that never should have been when sterling tripped over his own foot. Leaving city top just needing a point to quality and three to top the group. 

    Spurs kept there champions league campaign alive by beating PSV 2-1 in a very entertaining last ten minutes. Psv May have been eliminated from the champions league but that leaves spurs in third with a fighting chance to qualify to the knock out or at least Europa.

    liverpool lost in the early kick off in what should have been Liverpool’s game on paper. But the loss now leaves second one point in front PSG and level with Napoli it should be a intreating last two games.  

  8. So the only two teams in the Europa league have all done the job to qualify for the round of 32. 

    Chelsea,1-0, Bayes 

    Arsenal,0-0,sporting 

    so both teams are officially in the round of 32 in the Europa league.

    While Arsenal held sporting to a 0-0 draw that saw them qualify for the last 32 Welbeck suffered a broken ankle and other injuries ment it’s not the night that manager. Emery hoped for. 

    Chelsea in the early kick got the three points and kept their 100% record on track and maximum points seeing them safely through with two games left the only goal came from Giround who’s goal  droat seems to be over. 

  9. So the unbeaten run of Forest green rovers has come to an end leaving them outside the playoffs.

    Before losing 2-1 to Northampton on the 13/10 they were just one of the four teams in the English leagues to be undefeated, the others are Man City,Liverpool and Chelsea. 

    After that loss they were still in the play offs but then Lincoln City  handed them their second 2-1 loss on the 3/11 to dump them out the play offs.

    After such a great start can forest Green Rovers find their rhythm and gain promotion or will it be the play offs or is this the start of the slide.? 

     

  10. Question is who should we be giving more of a go? Personally I think Campbell.

    Who do you think?

    Remaye Campbell (17)

    Kion Etete (16)

  11. So pindroch is our second choice keeper he hasn’t played many minutes this season he got injured against Middlesbrough in the league cup warming up. 

    In warm up my self and @super_pie have Commented on him and seen how he dose warming Up. I’ve joked he looks like kasper schmeical.

    Also spoke to a few people about him and what he could bring to the number one shirt.

    But what’s your thought on Pindroch guys and girls.

  12. So my question guys and girls is if you were Harry Kewell what would you change for Saturdays visit to oakwell in the fa cup.?

  13. Good morning it’s a cloudy start here. I had a better nights sleep than the night before when I was tossing and turning for hours. 

    Today will be a relaxing day, we haven’t got a lot on except preparing for a full day course we are going on tomorrow, its for our voluntary work and is at a posh hotel in Derby with lunch thrown in but it’ll be a bit intense I think.

    We aren’t having our customary curry tonight because we don’t want to smell of curry tomorrow, so we are having trout cooked in a parcel.

    Later I’ll watch the cup match on BBC 1 can’t remember who’s playing but it’s a non league club. Have a great day everyone.

  14. So Fifa 19 is out and I’m sure we have got our ultimate team if you play it. 

    My question is Who's in your ultimate team what league etc. ?

  15. Fitz - 9 - Kept us in the game.

    Turley - 4 - Did OK in an unusual position
    Ward - 2 - Give your head a shake

    Brisley - 4 - OK

    Evina - 0 - Pathetic. Headless chicken defensively and can't pass going forwards. Useless. 

    Enzo - 6 - Only one that looked like he could create something.
    Milsom - 2 - Bambi on ice performance again. Almost lost it in dangerous areas and did a couple of times. Negative/**** passing. Accident waiting to happen.

    Hewitt - 3 - Crap
    Thomas - 3 - Crap
    Alessandra - 3 - Crap
    Dennis - 1 - ****.

    Kewell - 0 - What the **** was that? Embarrassing and tactically woeful.

    Oldham's finishing - 10 - As with Port Vale, could and probably should have hammered us.

  16. So tonight Arsenal needed just one point to guarantee qualification to the round of 32 in the Europa league which was achieved but it came at a cost. 

    Arsenal manager Emery says that Welbeck has suffered a ankle break. 

    Just 25 minutes In to the game Welbeck tried to connect with a cross but landed  awkwardly and start straight away riving in pain. 

    He was given gas and air on the pitch to help with the pain he left on a stretcher with his right leg in a brace team mates and sporting captain  Nani a former team mate of Welbeck didn’t leave Welbecks side during his treatment. 

    He was taken to hospital for further treatment the type of break and how long he is out for may not be know for a while. 

    I wish him all the best at times like this the shirt they wear is forgotten and you can’t help but see them as a person a human.

  17. Lowest shot save percentage in the Bundesliga at present, only 11 out of 22 stopped. 50% is very poor. Most keepers are in the 60’s, Yann Sommer is on 75% this season, one reason Gladbach are second.

  19. So Notts County Have Definitely allowed there new squad to play and work together aswell as gel together as a team.

    But my question is out of 10 what would you grade our summer transfer signings.

     

  20. So a few days ago I read that Rooney will come out of retirement to play against the USA in a friendly at Wembley. 

    The match has been called a friendly but it’s now being seen has Rooney's international send off. 

    England Captain Harry Kane in a interview went off script by saying that Rooney will be the captain and he would only be too happy for Rooney to lead the team out. 

    The idea is thought to be that of manager Gareth Southgate but the FA insist that Rooney will not lead out this team he will play only a cameo role against the USA. 

    Southgate insists that Rooney will not retain the number 10 shirt. 

    Kane revealed that he, Southgate and a few other senior players wanted to do something to mark Rooneys milestone. 

    So it’s unclear at the minute as to the role of Rooney against the USA but it’s has to be said that Kane has handled it like a captain and a true professional, showing nothing but respect. 

  21. Good morning everyone, it’s a brighter start than yesterday thankfully but a bit cooler.

    I’ve not had a good night my hips have been aching, keeping me awake and I’ve felt a bit under the weather for a few days now but I really want to go for a run this morning so I’m going to give it a try and see how I get on.

    Later we are picking up our young grandsons from school while their mum and dad go to a meeting, it’ll be good to see them, our youngest got dressed up as a knight for medieval day at school yesterday he looked brilliant our son sent us a picture, it’s amazing what you can do with an old pillow case and some cardboard.

    Have a great day all.

  22. So it’s no secret that Ross Fitzsimmons since taking from Adam Collins as county’s number one has stuttered and slipped and struggled to regain the form that impressed last season during Collins injury till he was sent off for kicking a player and gave away a penalty. 

    But recently he has been showing some form im not going to jump on the bandwagon I’ve voiced my opinion and others have to about his poor start positioning etc.

    But tonight in a match that was mediocre at best Ross stepped up kept Notts in the tie and earned us a point that may just us out the relegation zone. 

    He made some close and low shot saves and tipped a effort over the bar among the saves he made tonight. 

    He was organised bossing the defence and shown something I’ve not seen from him this season also he was releasing the ball a lot faster and along the ground rather than the direct approach. 

    What ever it was it earned him the man of the match which i said to @Chris about the 65th minute though @Christhought Alexandra was the choice for him. 

    Even after it was announced he didn’t smile but he did acknowledge the crowd which is a way forward. 

    I hope he uses this to boost his confidence because tonight he earned it and shown he could be number one.
