Which PON member do you feel you have the most in common with based on what you have seen them post?

Well 24 hours has elapsed since the Cambridge game what’s everybody’s thoughts and feelings looking back.? 

Does anyone like any movies that are considered flops?

I would be interested in seeing what PON members can come up with.

So with Notts missing out on promotion last season and a new squad book makers make Notts them  odds on favourite to go up my questions are simple ..

will you be haveing a cheeky bet 

Can County go up .. is this our season are the bookies right.?

Well both our star signings Hemmings and Dennis has now missed sitters in the opening two matches.

Let's hope things get better, at least the chances are being created I suppose, that's a good sign, isn't it?

So Monday is the start of the week but on Pon it means guess the magpie. 

The magpie will be revealed on Friday before the County match. 

Godd luck everyone 

So this week in the club shop three new items have arrived. 

From a suite case to water bottle even a pennant with prices from £4.99 - £65.

is there any item that catchers your eye that you think yeah I think I may buy one?.

see below for the price and item 

happy birthday @MariuszNCFC, i hope you have a great day and manage to see this.  

Based on a mean of 5

Fitzsimons 4 Confidence shot to pieces with Brisley's impersonation of a central defender. Goals conceded well taken by Cambridge players

Tootle 4.5 Another quiet match but out of all the back 4, the one to escape without any harsh criticism

Duffy 4 Yes, scored a goal and another run in with the ref, as per usual.

Brisley 2 Never marked Brisley so badly before, but his performance alone cost us the  match

Jones 3.5 Caught out of position too many times, mentally switches off

Vaughan 5 Seems an obligatory caught in possession at least once a match but he is a neat footballer with pass to feet

Hewitt 2 Pass completion rate the lowest yet, if you want to give possession away, Hewitt is your man. He is Nolan's blind spot

Thomas 5 Struggling to get into games at times but has a neat pass

Boudewijn 7 Stunning run and goal but strike partners let him down. Set up Stead on a plate, only for Stead to miss a certain goal inexplicably shooting into side netting

Stead 3.5 Reminders of Jason Lee's swansong. Leggy

Hemmings 5 Guilty of a terrible miss, overall holds possession well but some players don't have a natural strikers instinct, is he one?

Subs

Husin 6.5 Some class touches and passes and tried to get into shooting positions

Dennis 5 Missed a great heading chance and seems to wander offside a la McParland

Kellett n/a

Saturday's Fixtures:

 Who was your Man of the Match for Notts County's away game with Cambridge United?

Game 2 - United (A)

Team: Cambridge United

Date: 11/08/18

Where: Abbey Stadium

What line-up should Kevin Nolan 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.

From The Mirror:

After bursting on to the scene as a flying teenage winger with Notts County, Jermaine Pennant has seldom been out of the news.

He gained a high-profile move to Arsenal aged just 15 for £2m - a then-record for a teenager.

But trouble seemed to follow around Pennant - raised on a tough Nottingham estate - and a drink driving ban meant he became one of the first footballers to play with an electronic tag.

That did not stop him having a good career with the likes of Liverpool, Stoke and Portsmouth - and there was even the time Real Madrid bid £3.5m for him.

With a warts-and-all new book 'Mental' set to be published, we look at Pennant's career, life and marriage...

If you fancy reading further here's the link to the article.

Is this something you'd consider buying? Let PON know.

With Grealishs future in doubt he started In the Aston Villa squad that have beaten Hul City 3-1 in the sky bet championship with Jack Grealish being withdrawn at the 81st minute to a standing ovation and the fans singing he’s one of own a clear sign that they don’t want him to leave. But with Chelsea and Spurs waiting in the wings to lure the young man away with a offer Villa can’t refuse. 

Will he leave.? 

Who will he go to.? 

Should he leave .? 

Give us your thoughts as we count down to Thursday when the windon slams shut

It seems that Skeggy fc are about to go bust as the official twitter sent out a tweet declaring that they were turning of the flood lights for good. 

A few minutes later Alan’s Hardy responded with “wtf Dm me” since then there has no further public tweets but the same happend with ilkeston and he's managed to turn that around.

so could Alan Hardy be wanting to acquire another football team and save one of the popular sea side football teams Skeggy fc. 

Has anybody heard any more about this at all .. thoughts guys.?

What type of T.V do you watch the most?

1) Cable, Freeview, Freesat or Satellite?

2) Wildlife, reality show, costume drama (TV show set in the past), soap opera, sketch show, documentary, quiz/game show? 

I am not talking about form, work rate or anything like that.

I would like to know which Notts player is the best purely based on skill a lone. Who would you name and why?

So the pre season and the opening day is over my question has Fitzsimmons done enough to convince you he is good enough to be Notts County’s number one.

Time to have another moan about things which annoy you the most! What trivial things irritate you??

Are there any darts fans or indeed dart players in here guys and girls..? 

???????? 180 180 

whos your favourite player? 

When did you first watch darts.?

Do you feel Match of the Day is better for having pundits or do you feel it would benefit from being a strictly highlight reel show?

The benefits would be longer highlights.

The downside would be the talking points, loss of good analysis etc. 

Great video here bu Notts fan Nick Holmes!!

What was it like for you to be back at Meadow Lane? What was your feels when the players went out onto the pitch?
