So it’s all over and France have lifted the World Cup. It started with 32 teams and only one is left standing. 

Through out the competition you guys have been predicting the scores. 

Thankyou very much for all taking part in a few mins I’m gunner announcing the winner just going to make sure it’s correct.

One of my biggest passions in life is music - I could spend all day just going through Youtube, Soundcloud and so on listening to anything and everything from world-famous artists to little known singers and DJs.

There's one singer I'm listening to at this moment who many people probably have never heard of, but I think is absolutely incredible.

Karise Eden is an Australian soul singer, she was on The Voice a few years ago and completely smashed it - she's basically Janis Joplin incarnate.

In this thread I want people to think about an artist they know who is not particularly well known among the general public, but think they're so good that they deserve an airing.

Here is Karise's cover of This Is A Man's World by James Brown. Incredible stuff.

So will anybody be watching the World Cup Final on Sunday.?

So it’s time for Guess the magpie good luck everyone answer revealed on Friday 

Morning all, looks like it’s going to be another scorching weekend.

This morning I’m off to the Long Eaton Park Run, a 5k Run which happens every Saturday, there are normally around 400 people go all ages and abilities, I want to try and do it in under 30 minutes if I can my best time is 30 mins 18 seconds. My son does it in 25 minutes but he’s 26 years younger than me. Anyone else do Park Runs?

Later I’m off to the match looking forward to seeing the match and when I get home I’ll watch the recording of England v Begium.

Tomorrow it’s feet up and relax maybe a bbq, happy days!

The other day my dad was having a looking through some old records and found both songs that Notts County had released two players have signed it. Dose anyone else anything from years gone past shirt records etc. 

So guys these are the last two games of the World Cup at the moment @liampie is in the lead but it’s a slight lead still time for him to caught guys.

Saturday 

3pm 

3rd/4th place 

England v Belgium 

Sunday 

4pm 

World Cup Final 

France v Croatia 

I noticed that @Natty has unearthed on Facebook who the trailist keeper was in yesterday's game against Basford, It's Richard Walton and he looked alright.

He's only 20 and sounds more vocal than Pindroch does.

I thought he looked more experienced than a player in his 20's, so hopefully we take him on as the backup keeper. Give him some time against Derby and see. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/richard-walton/profil/spieler/407332

So Alan Hardy and Kevin Nolan have definitely stepped up there chase for promotion with the amount of signings so far.

Do you think that Kevin and Alan will make anymore or is that is.? 

Good decision by both Ronaldo and Real Madrid, he needs a fresh challenge and I think he would do very well in Italy. Fee is quite insane for a player of his age but he will make Juventus stronger, they really should further strengthen their squad up though.

I think Kevin Nolan should appoint David Vaughan as the new club captain, what does every else here think?

He has a good level of experience, David's lead previous clubs and he would be an influential player on the field. If not, I would say use the friendlies as a way to mentor who has the best leadership qualities and is able to make others focus/lift them.

Richard Duffy constantly swearing and his habit of making mistakes makes me hopeful somebody else will become the captain.

If not David, who else could be?

So the squad numbers are released dose anyone have the players number and name on their shirts or personalised shirt with wht number and name.?

one thing i have been doing since i was 16 is saving my wages, i dont go out much to places that costs me money and the only place i do is when i attend notts games. i hope to save enough to buy a home or apartment for myself one day, its the dream and i am working towards that.

what about you?

Squad numbers have finally been released have a look tell us what you think.

England v Croatia in their first semi final for over 10 years will you be watching.? 

So who on here has got an England flag flying on their property or their car?

My next door neighbour has both, I feel a bit guilty that I haven’t but I don’t want to now in case I jinx it.

So my apologies I said I would choose the best caption this on Tuesday but unfortunately I couldn’t just choose one guys can we congratulate the joint winners of caption this this week  is ..! 

@nottsnutter and @ScottyP 

well done lads had me laughing like crazy 

Second pre-season friendly for Notts what does everybody think? Last season Basford make Notts work for it in the first half but clicked in the second. It should be another good run out for the players.

So not long now before England face Croatia in the second semi final how’s everyone’s nerves.?

So England may be out of the World Cup but we still play on Saturday for the 3rd/4th place game I know County are playing but will anyone be watching the game.?

So the Basford game date has changed from the 11th July to the 10th July 7.30 kick off.

So the ticket prices are as follows

Adults £7 

consessions £5 

kids £1 £2 respectively 

family ticket £15 

Ok then so it’s time for caption this So you have till Tuesday to get your best in then I’ll choose the best one on Tuesday.
