so, after a breathtaking and very satisfying win at oakwell, attention turns to our next fixture.  avoiding the obvious expletive pun, we're up against the team that gave Ian "Beefy" Botham his break in football.  surprisingly bottom of the league and have recently relieved their title-winning manager of his duties.

i'll open the links with a hattrick of easy starters - jonathan forte, ian baraclough and karl hawley.

over to you...

The half time scores-

                                           Colchester United 0- 0 Sheffield United

                                           Oldham Athletic 0 - 2 MK Dons

                                           Preston North End 1- 2 Rotherham United

                                           Stevenage 1 - 0 Crewe Alexandra

                                           Swindon Town 0-0 Crawley Town

So far so good for @BradtheMiller.What about the other scores?

Anyone want to see our assistant when he was slightly lighter, slighter hairier and in goal scoring mood for Hull City??

To be fair the last two are top quality strikes, would be good if Greg himself could talks us through them one day

Also note a certain Roy Carroll performing heroics in goal for Hull in the third video

Enjoy

I totally missed this, yet despite it being belated - I did want to wish @weymouthPIE many happy returns. I am hopeful Notts and Weymouth will give him an excellent birthday present, I would count Tuesday's win but I think more will come on Saturday.

Hope you had a great day Wey!

Hopefully catch up with you mate sometime during the season.

PS. I am surprised @super_ram didn't notice!

Our own Gary Thompson on has been recognised by EA in FIFA 15 Ultimate Team by being included in this week's team of the week beside Aguero and Sneider (albeit on the bench).

http://www.easports.com/fifa/ultimate-team/news/2014/team-of-the-week

This means that there is now a limited version of Thompson in the game where his stats are increased, making him more valuable to trade:

Hopefully there will be lots more Notts "in form" cards in the future!

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.....

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!

Childhood - Blink 182 - Enema of State

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

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.

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)

I love this it really made me laugh.

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?

#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.

Tuesday night's fixtures:
Watford v Nottingham Forest

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Middlesbrough

Crawley Town v Walsall

Milton Keynes Dons v Fleetwood Town

Accrington Stanley v Hartlepool United

Newport County v Southend United

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

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.

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."

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

Got this from the BBC website.

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

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

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

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.

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?

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

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