So what is your favourite Christmas Film?

Mine is Scrooge the musical from 1970 starring Albert Finney as Scrooge. We have got it on DVD (one of the few DVD's we own) and have to watch it every Christmas otherwise it doesn't seem like Christmas.

I also like to read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens every Christmas too, it's obviously the same story as the film but is well worth a read this time of year.

So what is your favourite Christmas film?

There seems to be a bit a of a fad at the moment for Christmas jumpers, they are all over the shops and seem to be popular.

Now, is it me or is this just too ridiculous for words, if I buy an item of clothing I want to be able to wear it for more than just a few days!! I mean you would look a bit silly wearing a Christmas jumper in March wouldn't you?

Waste of money...................bah humbug.

Did anyone else watch Mansfield v Oldham the other night, I was interested to see that Oldham had Michael Petrasso playing for them and he looked very useful, he was linked with Notts not long ago, shame we didn't get him.

He played a major role in Oldham's 4-1 win.

I have to say I don't really understand @Dan, I mean he was acting very strange at Colchester. I picked up my mobile and recorded him for a short while, I consider myself to be lucky because I really obtained an exclusive here.

It's yours to watch, I'm not protecting anyone!

I didn't go to last Saturdays match but my next door neighbour did and he bought me a programme for the match, I have been reading it today and in Colin Slater's column he said that Tony Hateley was very ill and "fighting for his life".

My thoughts are with Tony and I really hope he pulls through.

Here's a fun little question... (Join in if you read this)

Can you share a youtube video of a song that you can relate to? This perhaps might not be what the songs about. Just add the 'share' link inside the text area here and leave a little snippet as to why you relate to it.

>http://youtu.be/4Wt888a7wjA

Now this songs about being young and drinking, I relate to the lyrics in a different way. I have never been big on drinking but parts like 'I thought I could make it on my own - I thought I was indestructible' and 'I couldn't admit I was wrong - I didn't fit in, I didn't belong'. Obviously this is me being quite open. On another day I could share something much more uplifting I am sure but I'd like you to have a go.

I see this as being a neat way to getting to know the community. Go on, leave a youtube video/song below

Back to the usual two fixtures from each league this weekend.

Guys n Gals

Please make a post in support of this wonderful woman on LFC online, just honoured with the Helen Rollason Award.

Such a shame that god cut her life short, she didn't see the justice she fought for.

Love from PoN xx

the thread is Anne Williams tribute.

So Notts travel to Colchester tomorrow in the hope that we can start a bit of a run going after last Saturday's welcome win.

This in my opinion is definitely a match we can win and at least should be looking at getting a point.

I am going for a 1-0 win.

What are other thoughts?

Ok it's well into December now so I think I can mention the C word without any fear of reprimand.

Mrs. H. and I have been married for 38 years now and at Christmas time we run out of ideas what to buy each other so last year we had the bright idea of buying a present for ourselves but not telling each other what it is we are buying. This way we get what we really want and we get a surprise when we see what the other half has bought.

Christmas morning last year I opened Mrs. H's present to herself and she opened mine, neither knew what we were opening.

So we had the bizarre sight of me opening a sewing machine and Mrs. H opened my ipod.

We thought it was such a good idea we are doing it again this year. Does anyone else do this or is it just us that are crazy?

Well I have contacted the club (Mrs T) to see if anybody would be interested in a lovely piece of embroidery.

The lady who created the piece is a friend, and did mention that if the price was right she would consider selling.

It quite rightly won "Best in Show" up here this year, the photo doesn't really do it justice, the detail and colours are amazing.

Do you think this is something that would interest anybody else?

How are we all today? (or when you read this)

What have you been up to? how are you finding this festive period? Are you excited?

I've had my assessment today, went better than I had hoped and I am starting to get in the festive spirit even more. Sadly I have been very busy and finding it hard to sit in one position for any length good enough to visit certain sites - I should use my mobile more! I expect I am not the only who's busy or finding other things cropping up.

I can't wait for Christmas, Jake, Ellie and Ava will be delighted! I hope everyone's families also have a great time this year.

Quite glad that we've got the shopping sorted! So, it's just a case of relaxing and trying to take things a little easy.

Hope you're all okay

Delroy is one of the 6 men arrested in connection with the betting syndicate investigation.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/10479667/Football-match-fixing-six-arrested-by-police-investigating-betting-syndicate-as-rigging-hits-British-game.html

I hope this has nothing to do with any of ours. Whoever, a lifetime ban, should suffice.

Denying the fans of an honest and open game is the biggest crime of them all.

Well this year, I am expecting a book for Crimble.

When asked what I would like, the fist thing that came into the old wooden top was:

Steak Diana Ross.

Here is hoping...

I told Mrs PTID (galley slave etc etc) to purchase aforementioned prized gift, from t' club shop, not that Brazilian sounding company, that dodges it's taxes.

We shall see.

Hello Guys, Ian here(Millers fan), just some thoughts on League One's game of the day this coming Saturday, well, the only one....lol.

From reports I read & heard, Notts turned in a much improved display & were unlucky to lose against Brentford last weekend. At the same time, we were in the process of murdering the Gills 4-1 at NYS. Gillingham couldn't really have complained if it'd been 7 or 8-1, such was our domination of the game.

If Notts can maintain the calibre of performance this Saturday v the Gills, surely the three points are there for the taking, & narrowing the gap at the bottom.

I'm predicting a 3-1 win for Notts, so good luck Pies.....

Due to it being FA Cup 2nd round weekend, there's only one game each in both Leagues 1 & 2, so instead of two fixtures from each league we'll have three Championship fixtures, and 3 cup fixtures. The first three are the Championship fixtures.

This weekend's fixtures:

Brighton & Hove Albion v Leicester City

Millwall v Wigan Athletic

Queens Park Rangers v Blackburn Rovers

Bristol Rovers v Crawley Town

Hartlepool United v Coventry City

Wycombe Wanderers v Preston North End

Good luck everyone

Have heard up here that the above transfer could take place. He is a central defender 19 and is currently on trial.

Being on trial is nothing new for him, as he was jailed for killing two in a car accident where he was doing over 50mph in a 30.

Just wondered what the reaction of the fans will be, as they were rather vocal on Lee Hughes' presence at Notts. There is a good chance of some hypocrisy here.

He was given a 16 month sentence in regard to the killings. Which seems lenient considering Lee got 6 years for causing the death of one person, although his sentence had failing to report and leaving the scene included.

Apart from the obvious pitiful sentence handed out by the courts, what are your thoughts?

I'm nearing the end of my 'Typical Thursday's', which include walking to the City Hospital to do my physio. If you had asked me two months ago, I would have said I would be glad by this point however, last month I was ill for the majority and I missed several sessions. In this process my Knee's become weaker to the point it swells up, then I'm in intense pain and during my last assessment my physio was able to move my knee cap with minimal effort from two fingers.

I don't think this cold weather is helping, as this increases the pain.

After today, I have one more assessment and I was told in my last one it's likely to be my last. This leaves me having to consider allowing a doctor to perform one of two operations suggested to me, all in order to obtain more physio!

I'm going to make the most of this session - I'm not giving up.

How do you typically spend Thursday's?

Hi everyone, my name is Ludovick Martin, I'm about to start a new blog in french for the Québec Soccer federation wich is a part of the Canadian Soccer Association. Every month I want to do a feature on a club people don't know about, as the oldest pro football club, I decided to start with Notts County.

First of all I'd like to know, is there any good website out there about the history of your club? I'm not too keen on relying on Wikipedia for information.

Also Id like to ask you guys a couple of questions related to the failed takover from a couple of years ago, if anyone is interested I'll simply post the here you can answer directly on the forum.

Thank you

-When the takeover by Munto Finance was first announced, what was the general sentiment about it? good or bad?

-How was viewed the previous owner of Notts County?

-How long did it take before there was some skepticism about the whole procedure?

-When Notts County was sold again, what was the reaction?

-Today woukd you say people are satisfied with the ownership of the club?

Thanks a lot

Yesterday I was pretty bored, so I thought I would pass some time by listening to the Forest game live on BBC Nottingham (radio). To my delight the Lions took an early lead, although this was dashed when Fatty Reid equalized. Millwall went on to score another, as did Florist - However Millwall can feel hard done they should have had a pen!

Anyway, @Dan got confronted by Billy Davies whom doesn't really know where he's from and why he was taking pictures at a football match!

So strange!

They mentioned it on the radio and I literally said 'Dan'.... Joking to myself that it might be him, it was.







Disgraceful! That 'Dammit Dan' strikes again!

Happy Birthday @Andy Black, hope you have a great day and enjoy your birthday.

@Italian Magpies @Vicarofdibley and @stewartpot will no doubt have wished the same already but it's nice to have you apart of PoN, keep up the good work for promoting our club and building connections! We've all made some great friends from this! You Pies!

Hello @Northants Pie

Welcome to Pride of Nottingham, thanks for taking the time to join us. I really hope you find our site to be useful and interest, as I look forward to seeing you around the site.

Why not consider telling us a little about yourself?

See you around... YP!

I can't make it to the match this Saturday so I have given mine and George my grandson's season tickets to our next door neighbour who has a grandson who wants to go to a football match.

Now here is the rub, my next door neighbour is a lovely chap but is a Fword fan, he just happened to tell me that he was thinking of taking his grandson to Notts because he didn't know how he would be with a big crowd at the ground across the river. As I wasn't using my cards I thought I would offer them to him. He was delighted and thanked me but I wondered if I had done the wrong thing.

On the one hand he is a Fword fan and might bring bad luck but on the other hand they say that the first match you go to you support that team so maybe his grandson will become a Notts fan? If next door neighbour and his grandson enjoy the match they may go again thereby bringing more fans in and I have told him to buy food, drinks, 50/50 ticket and programme etc. so Notts will benefit financially.

Well here we go, another home tie and one of very few during this festive period. Not much for our fans to be 'merry about', however if you like the fact we've made some additional signings (loan) this is about as good as it gets right now. I have to say, I'm going to miss going to away games - they really are something!

Brentford, very overrated in my opinion. They're a good side but without the investment, they'd be a regular side and I still recall what some of their fans said about us not many moons ago! Now look at them!

Uwe Rosler's been making waves in the media, it seems a weekly basis he tells some sort of story regarding his past!

Notts have a little bit of momentum and the potential of having us firmly behind them. If the squad continue to keep trying, giving 100% and play fairly well then I can certainly see the KOP getting right behind the game. It will be interesting which youngsters will feature, I suspect the Callum Ball will - however it's a shame young Murray's been forgotten so quickly.

Ah! What the heck... In Shaun Derry we trust!

COYP! 2-1 Notts for me..... Thoughts?

For a bit of fun as the title says who would be your dream partnership upfront at Notts?? The partnership has to be chosen from players who have played at Meadow Lane during you time supporting Notts.

My choice after much deliberation would have to be Lee Hughes & Danny Allsopp
