Tyson Fury wrote a book titled the Furious Method, which was Published in 2020.It is a Self Help Book full of Inspirational Advice For Readers on how to Improve both their Physical and Mental Health. According to Critics. The Book was a Commercial Success and is on the Sunday Times Best Sellers List.

Not Bad For A Simpleton Eh?

anthony joshua should continue to see what fights open up for him and see how things come about, as he could make a return to the top again but it would require focus. the thing boxing is there is ups and downs, even with the very best but its how they cope when handling set backs that makes things count.

That doesn’t make him a genius though. If you are aware of how he speaks and acts, you will have realised he has a very limited vocabulary. Writing a book as a famous person would most likely sell.

There have been many celebrities considered to be not quite smart, to be polite, who have written more than one book to land on the best sellers list. Making a fool out of yourself in Morecambe, after losing a big fight that you claimed in a press conference you had won, and saying people only gave the win because his opponent’s nationality is at war, further highlights the lack of brain cells.

Was half expecting to see Colt Construction listed on the wiki page as a club given he moved to America and played over there! ????

I’ve looked a few up, in their second division they have teams named El Paso Locomotive, Charleston Battery and Oakland Roots. They sound like industries not football teams!

He was a nice lad, but I don't think he had the drive to make a career within the EFL.

It wasn't so much his ability; I think he was quite nervous as a player and due to that he never pushed himself. I do think his time at Notts was a waste though. Being the son of a famous player has some weight, but I think an exceptional manager is needed to get the most out of players like Jack Barmby.

I don’t remember Jack Barmby at all. I do recall us taking him on loan from Leicester City, I think it was, but as to how he did, it’s gone now.

When you're off on holidays and someone asks; are you going anywhere nice?

No, I've paid all this money to go somewhere unpleasant to have a horrible time!

I've been many times to different dentists for treatment during my adult life & the receptionist & staff always tend to ask: How are you, or How are you today?

When you plan to meet up with someone, you give them the directions and your location. Then when they turn up they go, "So you were here all along, then?" ????

@liampie I'm sure @Wheelbarrow repair man will have his 10 penny worth on this video.????

@Robbie

When I first noticed you'd mentioned me in my Notifications, I wondered How can that be? I haven't even viewed the video. Then I read your comment and watched the video. Ah you know me so well, then again I'm I that obvious?????

Well if the Defense is going to Fanny about playing Tippy Tappy Football in Dangerous areas, then they Deserve all they get. How many times did Notts Do something Similar last season? It just amazes me, both the defender and Keeper could see the Danger of attacking opposition players either that or they were playing with their Eyes shut. What should they have Done ? Even kids in the infant school would know.  What should the Defender have done Children? If in Doubt Kick It Out Miss.

Yikes, it's a common issue with playing the ball out of the back.

Alex Bass isn't afraid to boot the ball up, which is the right decision if you are being pressed. One of the defenders must have realised they were passing themselves into danger? The own goal is such an owler.

so ceefax was the bbc, but teletext was a similar thing but non bbc and commercial?

looking into the difference i found the reason why its called ceefax - see facts. ???? quite obvious once you know.

@liampie The ITV sevice was called Oracle launched in 1974, replaced by Ceefax in 1993.

I hate it! ????

The amount of times you would be trying to watch something, only for @super_ram to turn it on and take over the TV screen.

There were some good memories, such as the score updates and the games which were on them. It makes you appreciate the earlier forms of the internet and other communication methods. My children wouldn't know how lucky they are to have mobile phones.

They don't call it ungentlemanly conduct anymore. It's a professional foul now.

Googled it.

"If a goalkeeper handles the ball outside of their penalty area, it's a handball offense that's penalised with a direct free kick. The goalkeeper may also receive a yellow card if a promising attack was stopped, or a red card if a goal or goal-scoring opportunity was denied".

raddy looked like he knew he had made the mistake but had forgotten where his position was, the everton keeper was well beyond the area and knew exactly what he was doing.

I agree with, @liampie.

Sometimes back then the paint wasn't very good, so it was a lot more difficult in the heat of the moment to check your positioning. It's funny how he wasn't booked, but I do think the referee made a smart choice. I think things like this lead to stricter rules though, where the decision is less about the ref's thoughts and more down to the rules exactly as they are written.

Let's hear from the Manager, Adam Dunleavy on today's win.

it looks like the team has improved a lot since last season and have started very well, the limit in promotion from the league seems to limit things but its positive signs. i am pleased the pies picked up another win!

Great win and start for our women's team. Proud that they have started strong, and I hope to continue to see the signs of their hard work in comparison to last season. They are looking likely to stay up, and the building process of the team is promising.

Congrats to them for the win here!

its a good signing for boreham wood, issue for me is not his ability or how he performs but he just has not settled. the aberdeen move seemed like a dream move, but i think it happened to early for him. he would have done better to sign for a league two team, get minutes and more experience and stay settled for a few seasons before making the step up. he never seems to settle, so how does consistency come?

stockport did not really make use of him, same at colchester. this is his chance to do that. 

I would say it's a mixture of not playing regularly and Jayden Richardson not applying himself, it's difficult for young players to find their feet once they leave their parent club - especially after being loaned out a lot. He really should have signed for a team that would play him, then show commitment to them by avoiding transfer's like the one he had to Aberdeen.

I fully understand why he went, it was a massive opportunity and clearly the move came from his time with us - as they signed Cal Roberts too.

Hopefully, he will now settle at Boreham Wood.

Kellan Gordon gets my vote. He had a good game. I thought he played a big part in us winning it.

The poll is now closed.

Thanks to all who voted.

Congratulations to Kellan Gordon, who wins the PON man of the match award for his defensive & attacking play, & scoring the Notts first goal with a terrific curling shot.

Well done, Kellan Gordon for winning the Pride of Nottingham's Man of the Match against Burton Albion in the EFL Trophy. ????????

We've been over this Time and Time Again Gentlemen/Ladies regarding the Notts Academy Players and their advancement into the Notts Senior Squad and then into the Starting XI. Does anyone Honestly believe that any of these players will get their Chance? I for one would like to think so, but over the Years Talented Young players just get Shipped Out on Loan to learn how to play Men's Football and then they're Never Heard from again, until the Contract is up and they're let go, or if they're Lucky Sold on for the elusive Undisclosed Fee.

Kudos to Stuart for having the Belief in his Young players and having the Backbone, to play them during the Match, as it's been said they all must be on Cloud 9 today The Only thing to put a Dampner on things is, if he decides to repeat the Process and Notts get Thumped, then the Calls of does SM know what he's Doing playing all these young Kids? Why didn't play a Team who had a chance. Sure Most Members on Here couldn't be bothered about this Trophy saying it's a waste of time, and extra games Notts could do without but it's Great Opportunity for Stuart to Blood His Young Players, but a Big Defeat will start the Moaning Minnie's off Again. Personally I'll say Keep Doing What You're Doing Stuart.

@Wheelbarrow repair man Notts won last night didn't they? The academy players played very well

Let's celebrate that.

Stuart won't play five of them in a league match and put unnecessary pressure on them against a full strength opposition.

Remember, Burton played a weakened team too, & only changed their tune when it looked liked they would lose the match. 

Stuart will carefully manage all of those youngsters & I'm confident he will do that.

Those youngsters worked damn hard last night, & deserved the all plaudits they all got. 

I am pleased with the win. The EFL Trophy doesn’t mean much to me, but I am delighted that Stuart Maynard gave several youngsters a chance. They performed well, especially against more experienced players. Robbie Cundy doesn’t seem to be the best signing we’ve made.

I normally always take a picture of the attendance that is shown on the scoreboard, yesterday, I didn't. It seems strange thinking back that I didn't, but then again, I stopped taking pictures after the Sam Austin goal was ruled out - possibly before that. I remember hearing the announcement, just not the amount.

It could just be written off as the officials and frustration lead to the mistake, it's easily done. Maybe a note or message was given incorrectly? Upon reviewing my photos, I noticed that Meadow Lane appears bustling in areas that typically wouldn't see such activity, even with a crowd of 11,000.

i did not pay attention to the gate either, i was too invested in hoping we could score and get a point.

though the stands did look busier than 11,000.

If Gillingham took just under 1000, leaving 4000 empty seats in the Sirrel stand, that means there'll have been just 1000 empty seats in the rest of the ground. It will have looked full and there wouldn't have been any empty sections at all.

I'm far away in a sunny place so I really don't know, but the Lane has a habit of looking fuller than it actually is. But even 11,000 would be an outstanding crowd. 

It took him a bit of time to get up after he ran into the keeper, and it looked like he took a knock. It’s a shame because he’s been really good lately.

Such a disappointing injury to see happen. I wouldn’t have thought he was injured until the club announced it. I think they wanted to beat the media rounds, but I am curious how long they knew he wouldn’t be coming back any time soon. It seems a bit of a while between Accrington, then Bromley, to now, even if they were waiting for the full results. I wish him well though; he’s been a great signing.

At least we know it’s his ankle ligaments. Hopefully, it won’t be as punishing as damage to his muscles or a break would have been. When he comes back, he will continue to make a difference. He has impressed, and I thought we missed him against Gillingham.

I am glad to see the focus has turned to the next fixture. The defeat is out of our hands, but it shouldn’t cause issues with the way we play. Restart a run and continue to work hard, focus on getting the results needed, and pray we don’t cross paths with these officials for some time. It’s frustrating and disappointing to lose in the way we did, but credit to the players.

Very disappointing result, though as a team we played ok. Looks like sometimes we are our own worst enemy with some decision making, especially in the final third. But overall it is a slight knock back and I'm sure the cohesion will come.

When you see graphics like this one it irks that the linesman wasn't even in line with the play, & the Notts players look clearly onside.

They play tomorrow. It will be eventful if they lose because it could lead to a trickier team. I just hope they don’t sack their manager and hire a new one before we play them. It should be a good away day if Notts play their cards right.

Morecambe came back from two goals down to draw at Fleetwood tonight.

Notts will need to be at their best on Saturday.

Aye @Robbie, Notts should take them seriously , despite their Start to the Season, it's Not a certain 3 points in the Bag for the Magpies.

But I Don't think Stuart will allow his First XI to think Notts will win the Game, just by turning up. I'm sure they will be given the Respect they deserve.

I don't think the Hate for Harry Kane is because of the way he speaks. It strikes me that the Hatred begins with the Main Stream Media. The Incredible pressure the England Football team is put under (both the Lions and Lionesses) is nothing short of Crazy. Look at the England Women's Team, they win the Euro's and Everything is Brilliant our Girls show England are Europe's Best. Then they have a couple of Not So Good Results and Out Come the Main Stream Media's Knifes. That Hatred then Trickles Down to Fans who were only a few months before Singing the Team's Praises, this then turns into Rants about Certain Players, the Head Coach and her Staff.

Not being on any of the (Anti) Social Media Platforms I Don't Know if the Hatred for the way Harry Kane speaks evolved on there. There just seems to be a Dislike for the Guy on Have Your Say sections, such has on the B.B.C,'s on line Football Section. Why doesn't Kane score goals for England when he scores Goals for his Club. Why is it in all Important Matches Kane goes Missing, Etc Etc. Most of these Questions are penned by So Called Journalists, then they're picked Up by Fans and the Poison begins to Spread. Then it gets out of Control. There's plenty of reasons why Harry may have failed, the Biggest One is Gareth Southgate. A reason all England Fans should Now Be Aware Of.

As it already been Stated David Beckham is a Thicko. No he's Not. You Don't earn Millions of Pounds, become an Ambassador for your Country and try and help that Country secure the World Cup or Euro's Finals and become part owner of a Major MLS Club by being as Thick As Two Short Planks. How did it come about David Beckham, was Thick? Oh Yeah. He once Stated that he didn't understand one of Brooklyn's  home work Math's Questions. The Gutter Press get hold of it and come to the Conclusion, because he didn't understand the question, well that Means Only One Thing. Becks Must Be Thick. And the Fans lap it up, it's in the Press so it Must Be Right, and all these years later it's still banded about. Yet the type of question was never stated, Was it about Algebra? Who on this site Knows what "X" means? Or "B" to the Power of "C" = 35 over "D" It's all Nonsense and I Don't Care, but because I'm Not a Millionaire Footballer, or a Famous Film Star or Singer, who in the Press Gives a S**t? NOBODY.

Look how quickly Macca has gone from hero to villain in just a few months since his move 

What the press & the keyboard warriors forget is that a good or very good striker cannot do it all in his own. He needs a good supply route from good players around him, He needs to know his team mates well, & have a good understanding with them.

Another thing is the playing style of the team which can effect goal scoring opportunities, or how the striker is expected to play within that team.

It's sometimes hard to go from one club to another, or from club football to international football, with a different style or types of players in the team.

Most critics don't even think about things like that.

@Robbie

How Very True Mate How , How Very Tue.

46 votes. It would be nice to see that reached next time and eventually surpassed. Well done to Jacob Bedeau.

Well done to Pride of Nottingham’s Man of the Match, Jacob Bedeau. He played brilliantly and truly deserved the recognition. His performance was outstanding and made a big difference in the game. Congratulations, Jacob!

It’s great to see the community voting for the Man of the Match on PON. It’s been years since I last remember a player being named. It’s good to see it back!

Things took a negative turn at Notts when he was here, then at Forest, and later at Solihull Moors. Solihull Moors had been doing quite well before Craig Cope was appointed. He changes his job title when talking about his time at Notts; he was a performance analyst

.The tweet might not show.

He has done quite a few interviews, but all traces of his departure from Nottingham Forest have been erased over time. I do remember reading that the incoming manager had made quotes about him not being knowledgeable enough. He seems to be doing okay in his role at AFC Wimbledon. I do find him to be strange though.

I don’t remember him, so he can’t have done much for us. If he was here during Jamie Fullarton’s reign, no wonder.

@Blake

That's a poor show from teachers.

They should be encouraging not punishing!

Good morning. It's overcast here & it looks like there has been a sprinkling of rain too.

Looking forward to the match. It's the big one today. Hope Notts can put in a good performance. We are due to turn Gillingham over for once.

It will be a good crowd today, & expectations will be high. If Notts can play at their best today, I'm sure that we'll see a positive result.

It's a grey & sodden Sunday here. Plenty of rain overnight. Must have been a wild during the night. Some of our flowers have collapsed. There is still a yellow ⚠️ out for Nottinghamshire. Keep safe if you are going out.

@Fan of Big Tone you went away at the right time, missing the deluge followed by a grey miserable day

We won't be going out today. Just a quiet day at home.

I always think that  football  people like Warnock, Big Sam & Steve have something to give to a Football club if each of them want to give something.

I think Warnock or Big Sam are good at coming into a struggling club to try to turn things around on a temporary basis.

I always thought that Steve Bruce retired too early, but does a football manager really retire? Not sure about that.

Also the fee that the likes of Sam & Neil can expect will also be a factor on whether they take a job or not.

I also think that Neil & Sam have along with a few others, become Mr fixers, who comes in to a club to try to save a club from relegation. 

It's a win win scenario for them. If they fail, they still get paid, if they save the club, I'm sure there's a bonus penned in their somewhere.

These old type of Managers who want to be sole in charge are becoming smaller & smaller. When these two guys do decide to retire, I don't think we will see their like again.

The new way is to have a Head Coach who just deals with the team. The organisation of a club is managed by others.

I think the day of the old type Manager & Mr Fixers will disappear into the sunset.

I have never held Steve Bruce in high regard. He's a 50-second manager and once his spark runs out - it all falls down hill. He's pretty average at best, but it's stopping new managers coming in. Which affects football, especially from the international front. We won't have good English managers making that step up into the Premier League, but there are dead beats already taking the positions, being fired and restarting. It might sound harsh, but there are people, just like Bruce, who just need to leave the game now.

Bruce used to rely on loans from Manchester United, Darren Ferguson is a decent manager, but even he used his dad to establish his career by loaning United players. 

There will never be a manager age limit cap though, but just as in the U.S. are seeing with their presidency - it could be a good idea.

managers used to disappear once they were of a certain age and it paved its way for new ones to come up. just like players, there are obvious signs when a player should retire. i think its the same for most managers, i mean for every neil warnock who can help stabilise a team, there no hopers who are just used as @Chris mentioned for their reputation and contacts. i think 65 is the point where clubs should seriously think is this person good enough.

if they are, great but if not, just retire.

@Robbie

You can still get Caramac Buddy. I bought one from my local Bargain Buys store a few weeks ago, if you have a Bargain Buys store near you, go and have a look, you just might get a nice surprise.

Things I Miss from when I was a Kid which you don't see very often in Shops. Mojo chews, Fruit Salad Chews, Black Jack Chews all costing one old penny for four Chews. Spangles, Lucky Bags, Sherbet Dib Dabs or fountains. Liquorice Sticks (they were that hard you could break your teeth on them.) There's bound to be more, but I'll have to think about them. This Topic could end up like your Quirky TV Series from the 60's & 70's.

There was a period where "Wham bars" were quite hard to get hold of. I think it was more a supply issue, but I love them. I can't think of anything from the top of my head snack or sweet wise that no longer exists.

I really miss the Brtivic 55 drinks.

Again, it seems a supplier thing but very few pubs sell it and I don't know of any supermarkets that do.

Something that has been discounted twice, the second time less success than the first and what was largely down to poorer taste.

The berry, orange and apple flavours were also heavily when they first released them.

'Excellent news' - Nestlé bringing back classic chocolate bar for a limited time

WWW.WORCESTERNEWS.CO.UK

---

After being discontinued in November 2023 Nestlé is bringing back the Caramac bar, but only for a limited time

If something you like is being discontinued, beat the scrappers and resellers by buying a supply long enough to last a nuclear war. Then you should be good to go! I can’t think of anything I really like that no longer exists either, but if it were to happen, I would become Tallahassee from Zombieland. No idea who that character is? Have a Google! Woody Harrelson will be your friend during any zombie outbreak.

wonder if any of our players will make the team after saturday? i am happy to see dan crowley and jodi jones mentioned. they are good players, worth seeing celebrated.

i try to look out for the one that the efl does.

I am pleased that both players got acknowledged in the team of the week. It’s nice to see Notts players getting in, and the selection bodes well for the club amidst its signs of progress.

It’s great to see. I’m glad we have players good enough and talented enough to make a team made up of players from all 72 clubs.

Yes!

Swansea was the last time in the FA Cup we faced Premiership team (just ignore the replay). I’d love another game against a big team, I can pretty much remember all our big draw FA Cup ties in recent history. We’ve had some great ties and the Man City one is up there as one of my all time favourite games at the Lane.

Yes, it would be nice after the past seasons of not being able to generate a good cup run to finally have one again. Notts would benefit from it, so it’s positive more than negative. The only concern is potential injuries, but it means more minutes for players which could be good.

If that’s the case, I’d prefer an away game because I’ve always been too young to go to some of the bigger cup games we’ve had. Playing big teams at Meadow Lane is great, but it would only change my mind if it was a really big team.

I believe it’s a record that won’t be broken in my lifetime. I hope Les Bradd keeps his record because he deserves it. He’s a legend and a fantastic player. It might be beaten one day, but not for many years.

Who knows? It doesn’t seem likely to be beaten any time soon. We could be in the Premier League and it would be difficult to beat that amount of goals, so I don’t think it gets any easier further up.

I don’t think so. I don’t think we’ll have another striker like Macaulay Langstaff. The moment we have someone who scores 18+ goals over two seasons, we’ll lose them, either by selling them or on a free transfer when their contract ends.

what happened to the centre back alex something, from arsenal. i think he was on loan at bromley. got it, alex kirk!

Alex Kirk - Player profile | Transfermarkt

WWW.TRANSFERMARKT.CO.UK

without a club supposedly, maybe he held out for a league club to long? he was the only trialist we did not sign that i thought looked decent.

Alex Kirk looked half decent. I thought he stood out, but the rest seemed rather average, to be honest. I wasn’t all that impressed with the lad from Derby. I don’t remember his name, but he’s not mentioned in the list.

I think the trialists are sometimes just the club trying to see if they can bring in someone who might do well but plays for lower league teams. I also think we might do it to throw other clubs off the scent about who else we’re after.

I think clubs just have to focus, but with talks at times about creating a super league and people hell-bent on ruining football, there’s no doubt going to be complaints of fixture congestion. I think teams need to balance their squads, but it is mostly just an excuse.

they just want a winters break dont they, i think it would make football less interesting and give the richer clubs more time to hold an advantage over the other clubs. there is no congestion at that level, just managers afraid not to have their best players for the selection week in and out.
