Our grandsons introduced us to that Baby Shark song yesterday, now I can't get the blooming thing out of my head, anyone help? It's driving my crazy.

We've got three, one in the lounge 32" one in the bedroom 20" and one in our campervan 9", we could do with a bigger on in the lounge as its a big room but I ain't buying another until this one conks out. 

So it’s monday and it’s guess the magpie and the gaffer has left us a guess the magpie even though he is away. 

I Will reveal the answer on Saturday night after the Notts game.

Good luck guys and girls .. 

Guys today is @hissingdwarf birthday would you join me in wishing him happy birthday. 

It seems to me the likes of David Vaughan and Kristian Dennis just need to be given time to get on the same wavelength as others in the squad, especially with the upturn of form. I fail to see how they benefit the club sitting on the bench or missing games completely.

These could be game changing players.

It sounds like others have improved given the chance, i have read comments about how Lewis Alessandra has taken his chance to cement a starting position. So why can't Vaughan or Dennis? There's depth in the squad and Harry Kewell has to get the most out of them.

What does other PON members think?

I was listening to spotify today and it suggested a music mix I might like, this song came up, I thought to myself what a crazy song so I found the video and that's just as crazy, hope you enjoy.

Notts County fan who won £10,000 top prize on Lifeline has donated half of it back to the club.

Incredibly generous, he must be well off, anyone on here?

So the new call of duty is out for ps4 and Xbox. Are there any fans of cod on here are you going to be buying the game.?

Well kind of! He obviously didn't practice volleys at Notts!

So it’s been a hell of a week for Jamie Turley the red card last Tuesday against the MK Dons which resulted in a penalty us loosing 2-1. 

But good news would finely come in the way that the red card to be recinded and Turley allowed to play against Swindon. 

Turley would start and in the first half would sustain a cut above his right eye. which bleed to the point where he had to have the wound above his eye stapled on the side of the pitch of all places. 

Jamie would need to be bandaged up and a clean shirt. But the cut continued to bleed over four shirts in total. 

In the end it took eight stitches after the final whistle to halt the blood but as you can see the bruise has now come out.

But despite the cut Jamie still carryed on with heart of a warrior and I’m sure we can agree he is a #truemagpie 

I love these, this one is a favourite.

It's clear that there's a lot of issues with this team

1. The midfield. No presence or authority to win the ball back. Got not much height either.

2. No covering right-back as Matt Tootle doesn't play all the time and Ox isn't ready yet. 

3. Square pegs round holes. I don't know if 4-2-3-1 is the answer. Hemmings on the wing as well. Hmm

4. Substitutions are far too late. Dennis is a goalscorer and yet never gets the chance to impact the game. 

5. We've gone away from keeping it tight like we did against Crewe, Crawley and Macclesfield

6. Squad is unbalanced which started with Nolan's transfer window

Feel free to add more. This is going to take time to sort this mess out. We have talent in the squad to get us out of it but the main priorities are a Cm or two, a target man striker and a right-back. 

So Notts suffered there second straight loss but not without controversy the red card and penalty that shouldn’t have been given. 

The dodgy ref and linesnen all have not helped Notts county’s luck. 

Notts will head to Vale Park this weekend to face Port Vale In a must win. 

But my question is this is it time that Harry made changes formation wise or rotating the squad replacing players that constantly play with the players who seem have warmed the bench a lot this season. 

Whata your thoughts guys and girls. 

So Pierce Bird and Remaye Campbell have gone out on loan to Grantham and in my opinion I think this is ridiculous.

Both should be involved in the first team. Bird is the quickest CB we've got and he's an under 21 international. Also looked ok against Lincoln when he came on.

Campbell has shown promise as well.

I don't get that we loaned out Bird to Alfreton last season (who are in National League North) and now we loan him out to Grantham who are Northern Premier League. 

Why do you come here as opposed to other Notts County sites, what do you like about PoN?

What do you think could be improved?

--------------------------

I come here because there is a good community feel about the site, it is well moderated and most people respect your views whether they agree or not. I like the layout of the site with different sections to visit and chat in.

I think it could be improved if more people who are lurking joined in with the discussions, so if you're reading this come and join us. 

Sam Osborne has today penned a pro deal with Notts county. 

The youngster has played 6 times for the magpies the latest was against Newcastle in the checkatrade trophy. 

Harry Kewell after the game praised Sam Osborne his attitude and playing style and how he has a future. 

Im sure a few of us thought it was just hype or false praise but it seems like maybe we was incorrect if today with the pro contract signing is a indication.

thoughts guys and girls 

Tonight @super_ram Frank Lampard and players and fans can hold their head up high. They may be out the Carabao cup but they went out swinging and fighting till the end. 

Chelsea took the lead through a Derby own goal by one of the Chelsea on loan youngsters of all people. 

But Derby wouldn’t lie down and went straight down the other end with Cahill slipping Derby took advantage and made it 1-1 through Jack Marriott.

But chelsea  quickly came up the park and would you believe another cruel own goal by Captain keogh to make It 2-1. 

Derby again defied the script and scored an equaliser through Waghorn, giving Chelsea a sign of the intent to not lie down and quickly go out the league cup. 

But another cruel twist saw fabregas score late in the first half  but Derby would again refuse to lose and attacked nearly scoring. 

The second half Chelsea started the more firm side looking like the premiership team they are Derby would slowly get back in to the game with with shot after and shot if not for the post Derby would have got their equaliser. 

The Rams never stopped chasing ,they defied the script of making up the number and really dug in. 

Every loose ball they chased, the players played for each other and never stopped believing they could get back into the match. 

But full time would come and Derby would crash out but to a standing ovasion from both sets of fans and by no means to be disgraced and nothing to be ashamed of. 

The rams now look to complete there return in to the premier league this season. 

Good morning it’s been a bit warmer overnight with a minimum 8.7 degrees.

No trick or treaters for us last night, in fact I can’t remember ever having any since we moved here in 2011, our house is on a bit of a spur from the Main street and in the dark it’s not easy to find the gate so perhaps that’s why.

A quiet day beckons after the last few days, I’ve got some computer work to do but not much else happening here. What are you up to today?

Great news for Notts County youth goalkeeper Max Culverwell he has been named in League Football Education’s ‘The 11’ for October.

Let’s give a big PoN welcome to our newest member @Lewiscounty2002

Welcome to the community mate. 

Good morning PoN it’s a bright start but very chilly the minimum overnight low temperature dropped to -0.3 you’ll need to scrape your car windscreen if you are going it early, personally I put mine in the garage but most people don’t seem to use garages for cars anymore.

The two cheeky monkey grandsons went home last night but they’ll be coming here soon for another day with their granny and grandad, we’ve got some pumpkins for them to carve but we’ll probably end up doing them.

I had a great bike ride with George yesterday he did really well and we went further than I did when I took his elder cousins, he really enjoyed it bless him.

Right we’d better get ready for the kids coming, have a great day everyone.

So the seaon is well under way all new summer signings are settled in there new clubs. 

But the one that stood out was Cristiano Ronaldo to our Italian magpies Juventus from Real Madrid in another high profile signing. 

But has Ronaldo made a impact on his new club.?

your thoughts guys and girls ?

Good morning PoN it’s a tad warmer this morning with no frost, we’ve got the youngest grandchildren staying over this morning, as predicted they were up at the crack of dawn full of beans but they are playing quietly while we try to wake up gradually.

Freddies is being picked up at 9.30 and is having a day out with his little friend so me and George are going on a bike ride which will be fun, when we come back we’ll play some games and maybe watch a bit of football I’ve recorded but not had chance to watch.

Have a great day whatever you are doing.

We picked our grandsons up from school today and I found this in 6 year old Freddie’s bag.

He’s a true ‘pie now.
