Thank you! 

So who's going to go down at Notts County's pre-season friendly against Carlton Town tomorrow evening?

What players stood out for you against Linby that you'd like to see given a chance on Tuesday, and who would you like to see given a run that didn't play at the weekend?

As one of the THREE English managers in the Premier League, our ex-manager was always going to be in the running for the England job. But now the Graun is reporting that he's due to be interviewed this week:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jul/10/sam-allardyce-interview-england-job

The article contains a truly Partridge-esque quote from Allardyce about when he was overlooked for the England job in 2006:

“I wanted to do a real knock-your-socks-off interview for the FA, so I put together a PowerPoint which looked at every single detail,” he wrote in his autobiography. “There was nothing missing. Nobody but nobody was going to beat it. But then Brian Barwick, the chief executive, told me there were no PowerPoint facilities at the interview venue, so I had to print off hard copies for the panel. So much for the progressive FA.”

What do you think - the next Fernando Santos or Graham Taylor Mark Two? Sorry, I cannot imagine him being a successful manager of a national team, PowerPoint or no PowerPoint.

So we need to begin the season at the top of the table

A potential supporter decided to write to all 92 professional league teams in an attempt to see which one would explain to him, why he should support that certain club - however out of the 92, only 10 replied! Was our beloved Notts County one of them? Have a read...

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/row-zed/fan-asked-92-english-clubs-8334621#ICID=sharebar_twitter

This reminds me of when I was about 9, I wrote to every league team (at the time) and I was overwhelmed by the response. However, I was asking questions regarding a school project at the time and had asked clubs if they would send me a signed photograph of their star player or manager.

Only two teams failed to contact me, one was Blackburn and the other *whistles....

The darkside wasn't that team.

We have 4 trialists playing aswell as loach, Sharpe, Richards, McMillan, Atkinson and Campbell

Leigh Curtis mentioned someone called snodin and someone called mellor ?

Reuben reid is also playing apparently ?

I like what Gillingham are doing:

Wagstaff is way too good for L2. I'd expect him to score 10+ this season. 

Lee Martin is another fantastic signing, as long as he stays fit. If he does, he'll do very well I reckon. 

Found his level, or I'm I being kind!!

A new trophy being trialed this season, I'm unsure if its instead of the jpt but its bonkers, 16 regional groups of 4...

This is apparently to help our home grown players by including academy teams and premiership U21 teams

Statement from the club!

http://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/magpies-reduce-match-ticket-prices-3174821.aspx?platform=hootsuite

The main news is that ticket prices fall by two quid if you buy them before matchday. Which is nice. Personally I think football is too expensive in general, but 20 quid is a step in the right direction. The statement doesn't say whether it only applies to tickets bought at the ground though...

We're reaching the business end now - can anyone catch @ohstanleyaborah? To prevent things from petering out, double points are at stake in this round, so think about your predictions carefully!

Portugal - Wales

Germany - France

I haven't yet made my mind up, but Blackburn and Forest are mostly a yes from me - including a potential Walsall meeting up with SadLad if he can make the game would be nice.

What about you?

I'm quite impressed by how so far all the teams that have featured have given their follow opposition a proper game, okay albeit Russia - who failed to really test England but yet managed to walk away with a point (hopefully they're disqualified before their final game, as I think if they lose the next game - we'll see hell let loose and them not caring about any repercussions).

The Republic of Ireland v Sweden for me handed a welcoming surprise, Ireland played some good stuff and I felt they deserved to win.

Despite media saying Germany played disappointingly after mustering a lacklustre performance - I felt until Italy played, they had been the best side so far.

Spain didn't do that well IMO, they struggled to score and should they? The Czech Republic for me deserved something from it.

Belgium proved they're overrated and that the majority of fans based their opinions on what pundits say or the media (I don't see them getting out of the group stages - I didn't before they played).

Albania and Northern Ireland have been the weaker sides for me so far, NI needed to be more offensive but sat back allowing Poland to attack - however they highlighted how you should park the bus and defend a team you expect to lose against.

So, what teams have impressed you? What have you thought of the Euro's so far? Which game is the best yet in your opinion?

I mentioned it in the amevor thread but felt it deserved to have it's own thread

Who is this guy ? A new striker or centre half ? I thought it could have been Percival-knight but it doesn't look like him

I just had a notification pop up on my screen alerting me to a message on the left side row of icons.

With that in mind I thought I better start one of these to say hello. My first impressions are that the site is very well operated, it is easy to navigate and I really do like what I am seeing. With the way things are around Notts I thought I would join in here but be warned I do like my say when things are not so rosy. I have supported the club all my life, nothing stops me going.

Oh and I dislike the club over the other side of the trent!

Radio Nottingham reported this morning that we are about to sign him from Newport. Bit of an odd one, 29 years old, played most of his career in non league, but he is a winger, so JS must have seen something in him and I wouldn't have thought he will be on a lot.

Welcome @countyrich,

Thanks for taking the time to join us here at Pride of Nottingham, I hope that you enjoy visiting and chip in with a comment or two - its always good to see what other fans think. You Pies!

We have a couple of new users - welcome to the pleasure dome, @Adam_James and @john cheegham! Fancy telling us a bit about yourselves, or how long you've been following Notts?

One tip for new users - the dashboard (under the "Community" tab at the top) gives you a handy overview of the most active topics and articles.

The post are reporting that Stevenage are looking to sign Izale McLeod! I think he could be amazing at this level given the right service and if he could actually be bothered

http://m.nottinghampost.com/stevenage-to-swoop-for-notts-county-forward-izale-mcleod/story-29465738-detail/story.html

Since your still lurking,why dont you put the rumours to bed once & for all?.

The Stags money,do we owe them or not,if so why?

Are you selling or not?

Who is targeting a new manager RT or new owners?

Simple answers,that dont require too much detail,but get rid of the main rumours hanging over the club.You could of answered the Stags one when on,but no your more bothered about moderators.Which is the bigger issues?.Dont want to sound hateful but getting really ****ed off with the news & communication that is coming out of the club. 

Edit by Sausage: mild swear word asterisked out

Pre-Season has started with training, we are still being linked with additional players and the squad is looking quite optimistic at this stage. However, from now on - what do you hope John Sheridan does?

Do you feel any players need letting go? Perhaps you would like to see another position signed?

If we didn't sign any more players how would you feel? For me, I still hope we can sign an extra striker and a defensive midfielder. I think these two positions are vital - if no players leave, I hope JS tracks players for the January transfer window (which is where I believe we will require further tweaking).

Like I mentioned in my article - Here | I hope he uses the pre-season to form and establish his starting 11. Obviously things will change but I would like to see our squad settle down as early possible.

What about you? What areas are important for building for promotion or 'stability' in League Two? Discuss....

How do you feel John Sheridan is doing so far without a ball yet kicked competitively how impressed are you with the work done so far ? Are you inspired with confidence in him and the season ahead ? How about the club as a whole? Discuss 

Jordan Bowery has gone to Leyton Orient on a two year deal, so that is the end of that rumour. Are we still in the market for another striker? I can only see it if McLeod is moved on at the moment, but will wait and see.

Would be a great addition, a quality  left sided defender for league 2, defence sorted!
