"I believe we can win it - anyone can. I cannot sit here and say we are not going to win it because we could do.

It is my mindset and I want to win at everything I do. The players in the team want to as well. It is worth fighting for. I am sure we have all had dreams of lifting it and it is an opportunity for us."

why has southgate made him the captain too? i hope his words match the effort on the pitch.

I would just like to welcome all the following new members to the PON community.

@East Kent Pie @Jimmyjames21 @Joseph @magpiedave @Cgee69 @Chad. @Ian Hodgett and @Jo warsop.

Its nice to see so many new members arrive.

So a few years  ago the Notts Coutnty crest/logo was changed. Do you think they had the right to do so ? Or should they have left it alone.? Did you like it.? 

So the votes have all been counted for the member of month for May and the winner is ....!

EVERY BODY 

myself and @Chris have talked about it and have agreed everyone is mays member of the month. Everyone has put so much in to Pon and brought it back to how it used to be. So we didn’t think it was right to just name one person .. when all of us as a team have put in to Pon and made it great against 

Again well done again everybody and thankyou.????????????????????????

@Chris yesterday sent a balls of steel video up till now I wasn’t a fan of balls of steel but this changed my mind definitely worth a watch. ????????????

i have only put strikers in the poll but you can name someone else in the comments below.

please try to explain why you have chosen the player you voted for, along with how many goals you think they will score. lets see what the pon community thinks!

Hello PON Community, I have set up a dream team league for us all to enter over the world cup period. Just create an account then use the pin provided to join the PON league I have created. Pick the players you want within the budget and see how many points they can win for you. No gain from it just a bit of fun and a pass time while the football league season is over Hoping to get quite a few of you involved  Any questions either tag me in a comment of private message me!

League PIN = WC4YDRYV

So at half time what does everyone go for in terms of food. 

Chips 

Burger 

pies 

or something else 

Guys we have a new member @ScottyP can we take the time to say hello to him please and welcome him. @ScottyP maybe you introduce your self and tell us a little bout your self.  

Hello,

My names James, I've supported Notts since 1997. My father used to take me down to Meadow Lane with my uncle and cousins, I go to matches on my own these days though. I'm a Kopite and my favourite player that I have seen is Paul Heffernan hence my name here.

There is probably better names I could have picked.

As a club, Notts are doing well. We are bringing in young players and developing them and they intern are helping us move forward as a club

But these are two models we cannot replicate

1) Crewe. They flooded their team with youth players too fast, too soon and it has done nothing for them apart from plunder them into successive relegation battles. I'm not saying them players are bad, I'm saying you can't rush youth players (especially lots of them) too fast, too soon into the first team

2) Southampton and Barnsley. Buying players then sell them on. It doesn't move the club forward. It eventually caught up on both clubs. Southampton eventually made a wrong decision in appointing Pellegrino. They can somewhat get away with it as they are in the Premier League. For Barnsley, they weren't so fortunate. Barnsley sold Holgate, Mawson, Winnall, Bree, Hourihane, Roberts and MacDonald all within under two years. Added to that key players such as Scowen and Watkins left. The club just dropped back into League One. 

These shirts on sale there ????

So as we go in the new era at Medow Lane Under Alan Hardy but I can’t help but still think back to when we thought the last time we was on the way up ... even signed Sol Campbell but for me he didn’t do nothing and wasn’t worth anything .. what’s your guys thought about his time at Medow Lane 

whats everyone doing/been up to today?

anyone doing/done anything special today? its quite nice out there, i dont have any plans myself yet but i was wondering about other pon members.

First half quite good,mostly played in Nigeria half.England should have made more of superiority.Second half was worrying as Nigeria were very much improved,especially when they pulled a goal back.Need to cut out sloppiness and overplaying.Overall a good workout and it was a friendly!

So with the recruitment drive at medow Lane in full affect and going really well. So if Alan Hardy and Kevin Nolan came to you and said you can bring back any player from Notts County’s past team who would it be. Which player from County’s past any era who would you bring back on a one year deal.?

So Kevin Nolan is entering his second season as Notts County manager are you guys happy about that or should he have sacked.? Or do you think that the disappointment of the play offs and some of the errors the team made and he did will spear him forward to have more successful season I.e county getting promoted. 

So Alan Hardy has announced that the new kit will be launched or released in five weeks. What did you think to last years shirt.? And will this one 

So myself and @chris and @super_pie and his friend are going to the Leicester and derby match would anyone fancy meetup before or after for a pint.?

So where is everyone’s favourite place to eat when eating out.?

So I have decided that next season I plan to do most away games that I can attend. I work on the railway so shift patterns can sometimes get in the way. However I have decided that I will review these away days and post on the site so the members of PON can read and share their views and experiences that they have too. 

I like to ground hop and tick of certain grounds so next year I will be trying to achieve this. I will try post weekly on some of my previous experiences I have had for now just to get in to the practice of writing them up so hopefully when the season starts I can write it in a proper article format for you all. Let me know your thoughts, both positive and negative please. 

Heres the Format -

Should you attend?:

So Mike Edwards is to join Kevin Nolan’s coaching team next season. How do you think he will do in his new role? And why do you think he retired from playing.?

So the World Cup just 7 days away till the tournament starts England have announced there squad was there any shocks in the squad you feel.? 

So what’s everyone’s favourite song to sing on match day.? No matter where you sit 

Was the injury to Mo Salah the beginning of the end for Liverpool.? If he didn’t go off could they have won.?
