    Who scored pon's goal of the month?

  2. I always check lifeline to see if I have won, today I looked and saw the name Hateley against a £50 win, my heart skipped a beat until I realised that is not my real name. :doh:


     


    I think my alter ego is starting to take over, I was in the supermarket car park the other day and someone shouted "Tony" and I looked round. :joker:


  3. Well here we are, the end of another year. Our year has been mixed with some highs and some very low points but we look forward to a new year full of hope that it will be a good one.

    Tonight we won't be going anywhere to celebrate but will prepare a nice meal and at midnight we will probably be in bed reading but we will have a glass of wine to toast the new year.

    What's your year been like? If you are celebrating what will you be doing? Whatever you do stay safe and have a good one.

  4. Crystal Palace have sacked Neil Warnock this morning, I bet Shaun is glad he didn't join him there.

  5. Today was superb from the fans I see on match day, I love the banter and laugh (it really cheers me up).

    You Pies!

  6. Welcome @johnboy, I'm pleased to see you have arrived on here mate.

    I thought I might have known by 'JohnBoy' which fan it was, however I was wrong. Yet that said, I'm pleased. Thanks for joining us John, would you tell the community a little about yourself buddy? Hope to see you on from time to time.

    Merry Christmas!

  7. Hello and welcome to @jonnyt.I hope you enjoy your time with us.


  8. I'll start with Borussia.


     


    Bundesliga: Currently 4th - in the "Champions League" play-off spot. Settle for that of even 5th or 6th at the end of the season. However, the commitments of the German Cup (away to Kickers Offenbach in the 1/8th final) and the Europa League (Sevilla in the 1/16th final) may prove too much for the club's squad. Gladbach have a lot less money than the other current top 5 clubs, as well as some lower down, e.g. Dortmund and Hoffenheim. Good management and good coaching can only take you so far these days. The defence got very creaky without Martin Stranzl towards Christmas.


     


    That said, a great first half, home crowds averaging 50 000, still selling out every away game in Germany and Europe (e.g. over 10 000 went to Zurich on a Thursday night in October).


     


    Whilst the title race is just about over, FCB go to Wolfsburg on the opening day of the 'Ruckrunde', the interest is at the bottom with 5 'Traditionsvereine' (Traditional Clubs) in the bottom 6 and the Goat-worshippers not far above, HSV have huge money problems and Stuttgart are badly run behind the scenes, but I expect Doofmund to escape.

  9. And no I don't mean the o especially on Tony H's boat!

    It's still manic out there. Even in places like Pets at Home this afternoon where I decided to treat the must to new extendable lead, there are people pushing and shoving all over the place. Car parks are full.

    Come on people. Give it a rest now so I can get back to my little shopping trips, not major bloody events.

  10. Derby County sign Aston Villa striker on loan


    _80019720_pa-10162014.jpg Derby County have signed out-of-favour Aston Villa striker Darren Bent on loan until the end of the season.

    The 30-year-old England international has just ended a loan spell at Championship rivals Brighton, where he scored two goals in four games.

    Bent previously played under Rams boss Steve McClaren in the England side.

    "He knows where I play, so it's a case of me just bedding in, trying to get involved and scoring as many goals as I can," Bent told BBC Radio Derby.

    "I wanted to come here and be part of something that could be special."

    Bent, who has 13 England caps, made eight appearances for Premier League side Villa this term, seven of which came as substitute.

    He is set to make his Rams debut against former side Ipswich Town on 10 January.

    "Darren has scored goals wherever he has been during his career and we believe he can contribute on the field for us," McClaren told the club website. "He adds to our already excellent attacking options."

    The former Charlton, Tottenham man has scored 25 goals in 72 appearances for Villa since a £24m move from Sunderland in January 2011, but has not been a regular under Paul Lambert and spent last season on loan at Fulham.

    Derby sit third in the table, one place below Ipswich and two points outside the automatic promotion places.


    He's become a shallow part of his former self, he used to be underrated and then overrated but he's a quality striker. I think Derby will get the most out of him, now which Ram's strikers could we perhaps pinch?

    No seriously, what do you think of this?

    Notts County duo Kyle Dixon and Greg Tempest set to extend Boston United loan deals.

    Dixon's and Tempest's deals expired last Saturday, however our magpie pair look very likely to extend their stay with the The Pilgrims. Boston have been granted permission to discuss it with Notts as Dennis Greene is keen to extend their stay...

    Good news? They seem to be doing well. Thoughts? Let PoN know, comment below.

  12. With all the excitement building up to our New years eve party I forgot to wish @MuddyPatchPie a very happy birthday..I always enjoy your comments on here.I hope you  recovered enough from the recent bug to enjoy your day.


  13. Here's a good tip I saw on the other forum that deserves an airing here.


     


    If you want to use Magpie Player on your mobile or tablet, download the Fli Player app from the Google Play Store. You can watch all the highlights and interviews even on devices that don't like Flash, and the commentary also works on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3). I could never get this to work previously.


  14. Talking to our 6 year old grandson about Christmas and he says that Santa doesn't exist and the postman brings presents.

    Apparently it's a ridiculous notion that reindeer could fly!! Is he the only 6 year old in the world who doesn't believe in Santa? It made me a bit sad to be honest.

  15. Oh how opinions have changed over at Ipswich

  17. Radio Nottingham report Danny Haynes has left Notts.

    Making the way to sign 4 players including a player from a Championship club.

  18. We had Zeli Ismail who looked like Jason Grimshaw from Coronation Street.


     


    I have also noticed that young Harry Andrews looks a lot like Kasper Schmeichel.

  20. Sunday's Fixtures:
    Cardiff City v Watford

    Wolves v Brentford

    Crawley Town v Colchester United

    Rochdale v Fleetwood Town

    Carlisle United v York City

    Shrewsbury Town v Wycombe Wanderers

  21. Slap bang in the festive season, apologies for lateness in this game's submission...


     


    Too big for division four, Benito Carbone, Stan-the-man are all immediate thoughts relating to the Bantams.  I think of uncle Colin's hometown club and, of course, "that" debut by Lee Hughes / Munto.


     


    Players - well, present company excepted (3 of 'em!), Ricky Ravenhill and Graeme Lee are my offerings to start with.


     


    Over to you - those that are not up to Valley Parade. 


  22. Another tough game, one which Alan Smith's knowledge of MK Dons will be vital.

    I'd be tempted to give Smith the nod, rough them up and use him as someone to kill the game. No doubt they're a seriously decent side at this level, however I don't fancy them for promotion despite currently being second. I think Notts will have to match their intensity to get anything from here, they must not be allowed to get into their flow.

    Otherwise this could be Bristol City again, which I am hoping isn't the case.

    Notts need to get a solid grip on their defending, I don't expect us to be beating Bristol City, MK Dons etc but I do expect to see us stand tall and mark exactly how we know we can do. The amount of goals we are conceding is a concern for me, I have to be honest. Naturally this will have an effect on morale, goal scored and performances.

    I'm hoping for a draw, which if so I'd say would end at 1-1 but I have a feeling MK Dons will sneak a winner.

    My prediction is 1-2 to them.

    Thoughts?
