Well almost.....

@notts-joe asked me to write a piece for PON this week....this was my initial reply:

Monday's Fixtures:
Doncaster Rovers v Blackpool
Oldham Athletic v Chesterfield
Port Vale v Barnsley
Barnet v Luton Town
Cambridge United v Oxford United
Newport County v Accrington Stanley 

obviously, this season is a complete write off, but cooper is right, players have there careers at stake here.

The likes of mcleod, carrol and smith clearly do not care enough to put there soul into playing for the badge which is effecting us hugely, waste of a wage tbh, but in all honesty, this is what we have and we have to deal with it.

I want everyone reading this down at ML tomorrow to get behind the boys, it has worked in the past, it can work now. I attended Portsmouth on friday and from the moment i entered fratton park we got behind the boys, ( Mark Coopers b&w army, ohhh Stanley Aborah ect. ) i want this tomorrow.

What is your starting 11 for tomorrow?

Easter Monday goal hunt at the lane , how hard do you feel it will be for notts to find the back of the net ? Are we going to find the way through ? Are we going to be able to stop Wycombe in there quest for victory ? 

I think the England national side is a complete shambles, Theo Walcott has had a terrible season and is still picked ahead of someone like Marc albrighton or Arron Lennon who's having a decent season.

The same applies to Sterling, he is picked due to his reputation when Nathan Redmond has had an almost identical season to him, they have both played the same games and have the same assists and goals, but Sterling is picked ?

Mark noble is having a good season and is the heart of West Ham but he doesn't get picked yet the second Jack Wiltshire is fit he will be straight on that plane to France, when will we start picking a team that works rather than one full of reputations?

I hope you enjoyed that result, two tremendous goals from England. Individual Brilliance from Kane, who had his back to goal on the edge of a crowded penalty area. Classy turn, instinctive finish and a goal from nothing. Equally instinctive from Vardy, the sort of goal usually scored against us and hailed as genius, then a typically 'English' goal to win it. 
 

@Blackville and I will be there this afternoon. I'll try and bring back back 2 or 3 defenders for Monday.

Is this a lack of confidence ? Is it a lack of ability ? Or no pride in the shirt ? What do you think . Just heard MC bang on , how refreshing , is that the only plus , for me yes , well said MC , real job on .

Okay, I designed a couple of mobile wallpapers awhile back but I never actually released them - although they seemed very 'popular' and I did have several requests to release them but for one reason or another I never did. I plan to do this now, along with a few more.

Not just mobile but eventually for bigger devices.

Would anyone be interested in the wallpaper below or a different one?

Game 38 - Pompey (A)

Team: Portsmouth

Date: 25/03/16

Where: Fratton Park

What line-up should Mark Cooper 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.

After the past few performances its evident that some players simply aren't good enough and the size of our squad is far too big anyway we still have 32 players registered to play for the first team, who would you keep and who would you bin ? (I'm unsure who's contracts run out in the summer but I know a few are running out)

For me I would keep;

1. Loach (obvious reasons)

2. Adams (only because he's our best left back)

3. Murray (he gives 100% but hasn't been given a proper chance)

4. Milsom (has shown glimpses of being a decent player)

5. Thompson (many will disagree but I think based on last season he is worth keeping)

6. Noble (obvious reasons)

7. Hewitt (like Curtis he is young and I think a good manager will help him develop)

8. Campbell (always tries his best, still young)

9. Burke (has shown glimpses of quality)

10. Banton (has shown glimpses of being a good winger)

11. Oh Stanley Aborah! (Need I say more)

Maybes; (I haven't seen enough to judge and the three youth players)

Genaro S, Sharpe, valencic, Atkinson, Sarpong, Bishop, Jordon Richards, Amevor, De Silva

Shaun Derry got us to 3rd in league 1 then we dropped down and down to 21st and fans called for him to be sacked

Under moniz we were safely mid-table but conceded 2 goals or more in 8 consecutive games and had only won away once all season. Fans called for him to be sacked

We then get Fullerton who plays poor football, takes us on a run of 7 games without a win but won 3 away from home. Fans hatted him and got him out

We now have Mark Cooper and finally realise the players are not good enough

Are we the fans to blame for our downfall ? Have we ever given a manager a proper chance ? With Moniz it didn't look like we were going to improve but we have now dropped down into a potential relegation battle

On live now....absolutely stunning football....the skill levels are out of this world....2-0 to Brazil after 25 minutes.

Breathtaking

As it's Easter weekend, this round will take lace on Friday, with round 37 then taking place on the Monday. I will hopefully post the fixtures for Monday on either Friday night or Saturday. Also as it's an International weekend there are no championship fixtures, so its three grom league one and three from league two. 

Friday's Fixtures:
Barnsley v Scunthorpe United
Colchester United v Doncaster Rovers
Shrewsbury Town v Port Vale
Accrington Stanley v Leyton Orient
Hartlepool United  v AFC Wimbledon
York City v Crawley Town

Sad news has recently broke that Johan Cruyff's sadly passed a way. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35892775

A true legend of football.

R.I.P Johan Cruyff.

Evening fellow Notts fans.

......no not a gimp.....I do NOT have JF tied up in a Mexican cellar, inside a wooden trunk...... wearing leather and a ball-gag!

Whilst we are all furiously hitting the "update" button trying to find out the new owners of Notts..... .....a little diversion for your delectation.

ps (I happen to have inside info on the progress of my Uncle Griegor and the Albanian consortium....it hit a snag when RT refused to include Doris, the tea-lady, as part of the sale!...my uncle is "one for the ladies" having already acquired 14 wives which are happily ensconced in a 1950s Russian tower block on the outskirts of Tirana. Negotiations continue)

Anyway, back on topic............"No, not another opossum movie Tarqs"...I hear you cry.

I have a new baby animal born yesterday......and there is a faint possibility that it is a Geep or sheep/goat hybrid.....the odds are about the same as Notts winning the Europa Cup next season, so I am not getting too excited....yet!

Before I start this mornings riveting pelicula....my apologies @erindoors, I always spell your name correctly, but mispronounce it as Eileen, I seem to have a mental block when filming.

Moniz made Carroll captain, JF made Stead captain but with Carroll not playing and JF gone, who should be our captain? I've always thought Noble would make a good captain of he could stay on the pitch. It will be interesting to see who MC names as captain on Friday, my bets with Stead. I just want to see a team with pride, passion and fights to the end, not expecting us to win every game but as long as we're picking up a few points, scoring goals I'm happy.

Good piece by Jacob. Just need a Russian consortium now, Romanovs County....

Clubs don't need instant success they need Soul and a deliverable long term plan that fans can feel part of ...

Maybe the last few months of this year, the latter has not been the case. I too felt so disenfranchised from my team...or maybe it felt it wasn't my team, in my name..... Now looking forward to Portsmouth with renewed hope, for just not now but for the future too COYP

Adam Virgo people go on Twitter and read the inside of a ex professional who has played at top levels such as Brighton Celtic.

He has been giving his insight on Jamie Fullarton and what he thought when was playing under him as a pro read his Twitter he has put it up with a conversation with a Notts fan link below 

https://mobile.twitter.com/Adamvirgs19 

Link ^^^

according to the redrag.Rt meeting Chinese consortium today.

A telling comment from Uncle Colin on Notts Radio......."I bowled JF quite a few soft deliveries in my interviews.......assuming he would hit them, so as to appeal to the general public.....no, nothing......then I started to wonder about his team talks"......mmmmmmmm

I know it's a fortnight away but the international break has come just at the wrong time for us, as we're on a roll ATM & I can't wait to see the Fatman's return to NYS.
Dirty Leeds have got nowt to play for, their fans are demonstrating against Cellino & I'd love to chant "sacked in the morning" to our shameless self publicist of an ex manager if we beat them.
At the risk of setting myself up for a massive fall (used to it), but I'll go 2-1 Millers in a tense game.
