Do you use a signature to express your thoughts or favourite quotes?
Yes, @Chris designed me a small signature. I didn’t want anything bigger, just something nice and visual, but I do enjoy reading members who use text for their signatures.

Jodi Jones: A New Hope for Notts County
It must be hard for the players to respond to setbacks but good players do manage to find their way. Restarting his career again at Notts showed how much of a waste Oxford were to not make the most out of his services. I agree with @Chris that he’s a promotion hero. So glad he signed for us! Jodi Jones is a fantastic player and I’m glad he’s on our side now. He has a lot of potential and I’m excited to see what he can do. His dribbling skills are exceptional and he has the ability to beat defenders with ease. He has already shown glimpses of his talent this season and I think he will only get better as he settles into the team.

What would you say to the Reedtz brothers?
Simply put, I would say something along the lines of: I am extremely proud of the work you have done for the club and the progress that has been made. Your approach, which balances statistics and analysis with passion and loyalty, has been instrumental in our success. I understand that changes are necessary for progress and I am grateful for the positive impact you have had on the club. You have shown a deep understanding and appreciation for the history and culture of Notts County. Our legends have played a significant role in shaping the club and it is clear that their contributions have not been forgotten. Thank you for your continued efforts towards embracing the unique identity of our club. I am confident that with your leadership, we will continue to achieve great things.

Ruben... King of the nutmegs
Wow, that is impressive! I’m also surprised to see Paul Mullin on the list - he’s a great finisher but sometimes looks like he has two left feet when he walks or runs! Elliott Lee is no surprise though - he’s a good player.

Final Pre-Season Game Announced
The pre-season fixtures look like a good set for our team - they offer different levels of challenge which will help our players regain their match fitness. While some people say that players need time to get fit after the season ends, most professional footballers should be able to regain their fitness fairly quickly. So really, pre-season is more about getting the squad playing together cohesively than anything else.

Partick Thistle financial woes
I wish Partick Thistle all the best, even though I don’t know much about their history or current situation beyond their name and badge. It’s always sad to see any club struggle and their fans don’t deserve it. I hope people will rally behind the club like we’ve seen happen before.

The Saudi League
Their league is ranked somewhere around 80th in the world - that says it all really! Most players who go there are taking a shot in the dark, hoping to elevate their status and have some glory days before moving on again. It never lasts and I doubt it ever will reach much higher levels of success or excitement - it’s just not a very interesting league to watch at all! Even when Ronaldo plays there, the overall standard of play is quite poor.

Ex Notts loanee Enda Stevens released by Sheffield Utd
Enda Stevens was quite young when he arrived at Notts County. His arrival coincided with the club’s League Cup match against Liverpool.

Kristian Dennis to Tranmere
Good luck to Kristian Dennis! I always liked him as a player - whenever he played for us he would score goals and always had a smile on his face while doing so! As a striker who thrives on scoring, I always thought that showed his class.

Jodi Jones could face England after Malta call-up
This is great news for Jodi! He’s been a key player for us this season and deserves this opportunity. He has scored many goals and assisted his teammates with his creativity and vision. He has also shown great leadership and work ethic on and off the pitch. I’m delighted that he has been called up to the Malta national team and I hope he enjoys this experience.

Everything is going very well, which makes me pleased but I do feel I could better support the gaffer who works tirelessly to provide the site. I eagerly await further updates, especially the PONcast.

Favourite coffee outlet
I don’t drink tea or coffee, both have never appealed to me. I don’t think my parents drink it much themselves either, though my dad is strictly coffee. I’ve tried it a few times, it just doesn’t taste nice to me.

RIP Iron Sheik
R.I.P the Iron Sheik, I hope Sgt Slaughter is paying respect by having a flag at half-mast for you.

Who are the defenders Notts County could sign to improve their defence in League Two?
A detailed list of players from all walks of life in the Football League, gaffer! I wish Notts could sign Zac Williams - he’s going to be a big player in the Championship or even Premier League one day. Adam Senior and Tom James would be useful additions. I think the club will surprise people with lesser-known signings though. They have a lot of information at their disposal that we fans simply do not!

Rumours : Joel Senior to Notts?
From what I've read, he seems like a decent player. I can't say much else about him. For the sake of speculation, it's good to be linked with a defender for a change.

Notts County Supporters: How Confident Are You in Back-to-Back Promotions?
I keep swaying between the playoffs and automatics. I am very confident that we have goals, but with the defence not quite set, that is the only area of concern. Compared to previous seasons in League Two, we have a nice squad and good depth. The rest is nothing a few signings couldn’t improve.

Ed Francis joins Gateshead
I would like to extend my best wishes to Ed Francis as he embarks on new journey with. Ed has been a perfectly fine midfielder for our club, showcasing his skills and contributing to our success on the pitch. While it is always a bittersweet moment when a player and club part ways, I understand that this is a part of our ever-evolving football landscape. I wholeheartedly acknowledge that Ed requires the opportunity to grow and develop further as a player, and valuable game time will play a pivotal role in his ascent So, here's wishing Ed Francis all the very best in his new endeavor at Gateshead, and may he continue to flourish on and off the field!

Notts County goalkeeper Tiernan Brooks called up to Ireland U21 for Austria friendlies
Congratulations and good luck to Tiernan Brooks as he represents Ireland U21 in their friendlies in Austria!

David McGoldrick
I’m torn about this rumour. On one hand, I respect McGoldrick for his achievements and his loyalty to Notts. He could be a good influence in the dressing room and a fan favourite on the pitch. On the other hand, I worry that he might not fit in our style of play and our ambitions. He might be too expensive and too injury-prone. I guess I’ll wait and see what happens.

Will you still follow the National League?
@DangerousSausage Yet, Boreham Wood could be much more than Dagenham & Redbridge, Stevenage and Morecambe started somewhere. I like seeing newer teams given a chance myself. Chesterfield sitting in the National League for a few seasons would be nice to see.
