  1. An amateur historian has come out with a theory that King Harold survived the battle of Hastings in 1066, and lived for 40 years as somewhat of a hermit. The crew who found Richard III under the car park in Leicester, have been called in to start the initial investigations.


     


    Now he had three children of his own, and the line of succession would have been Edgar the Aethling, could that line have descended down to modern day...???


     


    In which case, is it at all possible that somebody could end up with a claim on the throne???


     


    I dare say that even if the theory is right, it would never be allowed to be verified.


     


    Imagine Cecil I, of Bognor Regis being King? or Phoebe I of Welwyn Garden City being Queen.....


  2. I've been listening to a lot of pop-punk/punk recently, which includes ska.

    I share a very similar taste in music as Cheeky does, I tend to go for a little more "lyrical" but I do like guitars and quick changing music. Anywho... Name two albums which inspired you - In your childhood and as an adult!

    #Go

    Childhood - Blink 182 - Enema of State

    I can't think of any recent albums which have inspired me!

  3. Let's see who we get.

    Keep it to living if poss (Nelson Mandella would probably cover most people!!!)

    My pick...Marco Pierre White. Great at what he does. Cook superbly, motivate people and keep his image going. Very complex, yet unbelievably interesting.

    I can't cook, but I watch a lot of cookery stuff with the wife (while eating food from a jar or packet!!!) and he is by far the best out there.

    Try watching Australian Masterchef when MPW is on. Superb.

    His genuinely brilliant motivational skill is there for all to see. Made me just buy a pasta rolling machine from the net..always threatened to do it. Never did I watched him again. Now I will have a go myself.

  4. I wanted to see if the PoN community could come up with some good questions that they would like us to ask as part of the Meet the Fans feature.


     


    We will have the standard scores and there will be a question on the signing of Michael Petrasso, leaving two questions being needed.


     


    Feel free to post suggestions in this thread

    An enjoyable watch (when you know what the final score will be anyway)


  6. Barnsley aren't doing how I thought, although with their financial problems I suspect that plays a lot on the situation they really can't be written off. They've got some players I would love to see at Notts and with it being at their ground, I see them wanting to turn things around.

    A lot will depend on which Notts County turns up.

    If the side we have seen the past few games, then I honestly believe we will win. If we turn up and stutter, I think it will be a totally different game and I am not expecting another high scoring game.

    I'll say 0-1 Notts. Goal by Harrad.

    Thoughts?


  7. #Notts striker Danny Haynes set to move to Crewe on month's loan, maybe even in time for tonight's game v Posh


     


    Probably a good idea. Nowhere near the first team at the mo with massive wages. What a waste. Could have been so good in a different set of circumstances at the beginning with CK playing him everywhere but up front.


     


  8. Tuesday night's fixtures:
    Watford v Nottingham Forest

  10. Agreed a contract extension until close season. Should have been longer imo. Excellent addition to the squad and genuine pressure for Adams at LB.

    Left-back Jordan Cranston has agreed to extend his stay at Meadow Lane...




    The former Wolves full-back arrived in September on a short-term deal until January, but the club were keen to secure the 20-year-old's signature.

     

    The attacking full-back has played eight times for the Magpies after arriving from Nuneaton Town earlier this campaign and has been a big part of the team's defensive success.

     

    The number 33 has put pen-to-paper on a new 18-month deal and could feature tonight at Barnsley, as the Magpies seek a tenth game unbeaten.

     

    He told the Official Site: "I didn't really have a good pre-season, but now I'm feeling like I belong and I'm settled.

     

    "It wasn't a hard decision. It's first team football at the end of the day and I'm delighted to have secured my future.

     

    "I've settled in well and now I'm looking to carry on our good form, with a decent result at Barnsley tonight.

     

    "I'd like to thank Greg and the Gaffer, and of course Mick Halsall who helped me get my move originally. 

     

    "My target is now to try and stay in the team, get a string of performances, help the lads out and hopefully have a successful season."

     

    Watch the moment Jordan signed his deal on the club's Instagram account.

  11. I wonder when the last time we went nine games unbeaten was? Any stattos out there?


     


    It's a brilliant run we are on and long may it continue, who'd have thought we'd be in the top six at this stage of the season.


  12. Six year old Grandson talking to his dad.


     


    Dad: "Come on George it's bed time you've got school tomorrow".


    George (enthusiastically): "Wow great!"


    Dad: "Do you like school that much?"


    George: "No it's called sarcasm Dad."


     


    :rollonfloorlaughing:


     


    I thought this was hilarious I'm surprised a six year old even knows what sarcasm is.


  13. Hi @Ross Hill, welcome to Pride of Nottingham. I hope you settle in within the site, there's a bit to take in and get used to but there are several ways of finding things which hopefully adds to your enjoyment of the site. Any problems please do e-mail me :)


  14. This interview is really good, light humour makes it perfects.

    Worth the watch on the BBC's page for us - Here..
     

    Notts County manager Shaun Derry and assistant boss Greg Abbott talk about sharing a house, their close working relationship and a special bond which has earned them the nickname of "Mr & Mrs".
     

    BBC East Midlands Today visited the duo prior to Saturday's game against Crawley Town to see if chief executive Jim Rodwell's good-natured jibe is accurate.
     

    Derry and Abbott have been in charge of Notts County for just under a year and last season guided the club to unlikely League One survival.

     

  15. After his fantastic hat trick on Saturday would you keep Thompson up front for the Barnsley match?


     


    I have a feeling that Shaun and Greg will change tactics for this one, put one up front and adopt a more defensive line up.


  16. Thompson's hat trick on Saturday got me thinking about other hat trick heroes who played for Notts.


     


    I remember Brett Angel scoring a hat trick on his debut after joining Notts on loan as did Jonathon Forte if I remember right.


     


    Lee Hughes probably scored more than one.


     


    Lastly of course I must mention big Tony Hateley (my hero) who in his two spells with Notts scored no more than SIX hat tricks for Notts.


     


    How many hat trick heroes can you name?


     


     


  17. And yet another new member.Welcome @Laura M,hope to see you joining in soon.


  18. Welcome to the best Notts forum on the web @Blackville, it's good to see you joining in. :thumbsup:


  19. I'm sure this is a fake but I thought it was worth sharing.

  20. Walsall have signed midfielder Michael Cain from Leicester on loan.


     


    Not a lot of people know that. :rollonfloorlaughing:

    Enjoy the chats I had at half time, brilliant feedback and discussions. Please do see if I snapped you, feel free to tag anyone you know.

  22. I genuinely do not know what to expect from Crawley, the players they have are unpredictable at times but they're a good side with this league.

    McLeod can't be written off, he's a striker who can cause trouble and gain that "bit" of luck which poachers seem to have the habit of finding.

    If Crawley win, they move up to same amount points on their tally as we do, of course if we draw we move to 18pts and they move to 15pts. However, if we win we move up to 20pts and that might be good enough (depending on results) to get inside the play-offs. Now, I am not getting carried away! It's just a thought, we are only 3 places away from 6th so it's hardly unrealistic.

    Now if this was to happen, my Forest supporting @jsrjay will be required to go to see Lynn and Pete at the club in order to purchase a lovely home shirt and away shirt from our club shop.

    I expect the game to be lively, I am a little nervous that the break might see the progress we made prior a little shaky. I can't call the game in terms of predictions, I feel we could win being at home but even my heart and head says this will be a 2-2 draw. I suppose I'll have to go with the draw....

    What about you? Predictions? Thoughts?

  23. Just seen notts county tv on FB. Fantastic idea, brilliant for the fans to watch who cant to every game. Peoples points of view ect. Whos is charge? And how can I help?
