We all love a good bit of Twitter beef don't we? Well, our very own Alan Hardy has locked horns with none other than legendary England striker, crisp-bothered and pitch-soiler Gary Lineker himself on Twitter.

It all started because of a naughty word said by the BBC MOTD man.

What with all the replies and follow-ons and everything, it will requite some sifting through, but it's all on here... mostly good natured luckily (or unluckily, if you fancied seeing these two having a scrap in the ML parking lot!)

Coming off a season with highs and lows using only one word could you describe last season.?

So this is the table for the World Cup prediction at the close of play on Monday night. 

1- @Chris = 40 points 

1- @liampie = 40 points 

2- @GrannyPie = 30’points 

2- @magpiejue = 30 points 

2- @CliftonMagpie = 20 points

3- @super_ram = 20 points 

3- @Magic magpie = 20 points 

3- @Fan of Big Tone = 20 points 

3- @nottsnutter = 20 points 

4- @The Heff = 10 points

this is latest table of Monday night at 9pm

So it emerged on twitter via the official Exeter twitter Paige that Johnathan Forte has signed with them. Thoughts on this signing guys.?

Alan Hardy was asked about Mason Bennett and he did say that he still could return to thenlane for another loan spell maybe more. “Frank has not spoken to Mason since being the new manager” Alan quoted and that Darren Fletcher was a close friend to Frank Lampard and if anything could happen Alan and Darren would ensure it will.? Thoughts guys 

Just like my request with this past seasons review, I would like PON members to rate all the new recruits from 1-10.

I want to gage what to expect from the eyes of you guys.

Have I missed anyone?

I’ve spoken to the club shop and they have confirmed that the new kit will available from Saturday at 9am. With assorted sizes from small to 5xl  the price will be more often than not the same price as last year £41.99. 

Notts County have been posting teaser images of the new kits on their Instagram story function.

Here's what's been put out so far... anyone else who's on Insta feel free to add on throughout the day.

So whether you cook it yourself or go out what your favourite food.?

Tonight England wrap up their Group G campaign at the 2018 World Cup with a clash against Belgium in Kaliningrad.

There was some anxiety beforehand about if England had to get a result to qualify against one of the most star-studded teams of the tournament, but with both sides having won both their group games so far, the pressure is very much off.

Indeed, there is now a very weird scenario in which the losing team will arguably benefit more, as they will end up in the easier of the two knockout routes, and with Group H being so weak, it's not like facing the winner of that group will be an especially taxing prospect.

So let's get your thoughts - how/where are you following the game? Who would you like Gareth Southgate to pick for his starting XI? Should England opt for a weakened team and perhaps even seek not to win (although that's very contentious ground and would lead to the team being pilloried by the press and potentially get in trouble with the FIFA overlords), or should victory always be sought?

Morning all, it’s a bright sunny one so far but looks like thunder storms are forecast for later, I’m hoping to mow the lawn before we get any rain.

After looking after our two boisterous grandsons for a week we are relaxing a bit now, they’ve been very good but it’s still exhausting. A BBQ at our son’s Later should be good so I hope it’s dry for that.

Whats everyone up to today? Anything special planned.

So County have drawn Middlesbrough away in the league cup who’s going then.?

The holders Germany are out the World Cup after loosing 2-0 to korea ???????? come on let’s hear it guys ????????

So we are now in to the last games in the group we have had some shocks on the pitch but has the refereeing been up to par what your thoughts on the quality the style and the way they have viewed it.?

We are having the family round, snacks and popcorn and a beer or two while watching on the telly.

Then a (hopefully) celebratory bbq, Mrs. Big Tone is doing the grandchildren a McGranny meal which consists of hamburger, French fries and small toy all in a box, should be fun. 

I learned recently that a Notts fan and PON member @Dana Shoup had passed away, I don't know much more than that but I'm deeply saddened to learn about this.

I've met him several times, at both home and a few away games and he was a lively passionate fan.

Please share any stories or memories of Dana, he was quite active on both Twitter and Facebook.

Rest in Peace mate.

I have just seen that we have a new member @BigBill, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham.

Let's give the new member a warm welcome.

i have watched him warm up and i dont think he has looked very good, the games he started last season he seemed to rely too much on the defence but i did not see them in person. i am going on the highlights, it seems a huge risk to rely on him because i dont think hes anywhere near to what fabien spiess when we let him go. i know keepers thrive on confidence but i just dont think bransislav pindroch will ever been good enough for notts.

do you?

Looking after our grandchildren while mum and dad have a well earned night out. They are both in bed but what do I hear from George’s bedroom? He’s only singing “we’re the black and white army” at the top of his voice.

Now to start work on the other one.

So the World Cup takes a break from football on Friday what will we do .? 

So are there any Fifa game players on here?

I was on my run down the canal this morning listening to music on my iPod, PoN was the last thing on my mind until a podcast came on with some bloke called Notts Joe (remember him @Chris?) started waffling on about the forthcoming game against Bradford City, so beware fellow forum members you never know when PoN will invade your life.
