@Chris Totally agree with you regarding the Kyle Cameron situation regarding abuse from So Called Fans. I think a Vast majority of Negative remarks about Kyle have come from Fair Weather Fans, who Notts have picked up from their National League Success. I myself have said on these comment sections that I didn't think Kyle was Captain Material that is my opinion, it was done objectively and I wouldn't be abusive towards the guy, there is No Need For That. @Robbie Thanks for the tip regarding my Topic's Title. Now that it's sorted there shouldn't be any confusion (Hopefully)

You got there before me @Robbie I didn't see your Topic if I had have done, I would have just made my comments on here and Not written a Topic about it, I don't know how to go about removing my Topic if anybody could let me know I can do it.

@Robbie I think there may be PL Clubs who would be happy to play in the Championship including accepting Transfer and Wage caps. The Premier League would have 25 teams in it with No Relegation. Let them sort their own Cup Competitions and everything else. While the Championship would be the top League in the EFL and as I've said in my 10 points a Transfer cap of £10 million and the maximum of £15,000 weekly wage. Would level the playing field for all teams making them more competitive The EFL would have make up their own Rules and make sure there are No Loop Holes that Clubs might exploit to gain an advantage, over other teams in their League. Any Team found breaking the Rules would be instantly Relegated and fined Heavily. Parachute Payments would be abolished so No team dropping down from the PL would have that advantage over other Teams.

@Simon Clark As I've stated letting the big Six go their own way, will only Result in the next Six Richest Clubs becoming the dominating force within the Premier League. So just let the Premier League Go It's Own Way and let the remainder work out a plan that puts all Clubs on a more Level Footing.

Just reading on the Notts Website Macca as been given the Captain's armband for the up coming season. So raises a couple of questions, 1) Does this mean the Board are confident there will be NO Offers from other Clubs, that will cause Macca to leave the Lane? 2) Why? Firstly I can not believe that no other Club higher in the Football Pyramid would not come in for Macca and surely it would be better to wait until the Transfer window is closed? Before appointing a New Skipper. Or is it that Notts have put on price on him, that has put off other Clubs bidding for him? Secondly while I have the utter most Respect for Macca, his job is scoring goals. That should be the Be All and End All. He doesn't need the extra pressure of encouraging the Team on the Pitch and as a Forward (unlike a defender) Can Not see the way how the Game plan is working, when his only sight should be on the oppositions goal in front of him. A Captain needs to see all his team Mates and be able judge how the Match is progressing, and adapt things accordingly. He needs to be able to shout and make his orders clear and help any new players positionally. A Striker can't do that and be expected to score goals. Or is Stuart Maynard going to change Macca's position? I really Don't Understand the Appointment. Is this another Stuart Maynard idea? If so it seems Doomed to failure. Matt Palmer as Vice Captain is in a better position to take on the roll of Leadership. Just leave Macca to do what he Does Best, SCORE GOALS.

A Mate of mine was pulled over for speeding. The Copper asked, Why were you going so fast? Two years ago my Wife ran away with a Policeman, I thought you were Bring Her Back.

@Robbie I suppose we could assemble a whole Squad of players worth a shot at the title of the G.O.A.T in different ways. There is also a Case for a guy called Steve Bloomer who played for Derby County ( @super_ram could probably tell us more about him) I believe he played for the Rams in the 1890's or Early 1900's. And Notts own Tommy Lawton may be worth a mention. Basically the Guys I have named are Players I have seen, not all in the Flesh as it were, but on TV film and such like. Puskas was before my time I remember seeing him on film when he was part of the Hungarian team which beat England 6-3 at Wembley and Di Sefano is a name I have heard of. Stanley Mathews is of course a name I also know due to the epic Mathews Final when Stan Finally won an FA Cup Winners Medal. And didn't he play his final Professional Match aged 50? Then of course a Great Player I almost forgot Eusebio, how could I forget him Star man in many a Portugal and Benfica Team. I Don't think even the current Manchester City team would get anywhere near a team made up of the Super Stars we've named on here, when they were all at their peak. Wouldn't it be Great to get a Computerised match featuring the current City Team and an Elite XI from our suggestions? Not unlike the Rocky Marciano vs Muhammed Ali boxing match from the 1970's remember that?

@Robbie An excellent answer and some interesting added players. plus a Top Choice for the GO.A.T. in Puskas what an Amazing Goal Scoring Record. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you, in my Opinion the G.O.A.T is Der Kaiser Franz Beckenbauer. World Cup Winner as both Player (1974) and Team Manager (1990). Captain of the West German side which won the European Championship and Captain of the Bayern Munich side which won the European Cup three times in succession. And which of us who saw it will ever forget the 1970 World Cup as Beckenbauer played on with a Dislocated shoulder in a sling, due to the fact Germany had already used both of it's two allowed Substitutes. He is also been acknowledged as the Player who invented the Modern Sweeper Role. An Extraordinary Leader both on and off the Pitch. Played for his Country 103 times.

In your opinion who is the Greatest Player of all time and why? Here's a Dozen Names to start with :- Pele Diego Maradona Lionel Messi Christian Ronaldo Johan Cryuff George Best Ferenc Puskas Franz Beckenbauer Gerd Muller Robert Lewandowski Bobby Moore Roberto Baggio Most players above are there for their scoring power, and other attacking skills. However other are named for their Leadership Qualities and an Inspiration to their Team Mates. Feel free to add players to the List and why they should be on it.

I had to get Towed home last night Because Mole and Ratty were to Drunk. My Mate and his wife have called their fourth child Ivy. Because they couldn't agree on a name so used Roman Numerals instead. Old fashion Girls names Like Rose Elsie and Lilly are are making a comeback And my Mates daughter and her husband wanted to give their little girl a name like that But they couldn't decide which, so in the end they called her Nan. Saying she'll grow into it.

So Very True @Robbie here's yet another reason why the EFL should break away from the F.A and let the Premiership go it's own way has I have said before. Every Club outside of the Premier League is on a loser and with Championship Clubs trying desperately to get their share of the Prem Gravy train are spending well above their means in order to do so. It seems that Leicester City will already start at a disadvantage next season with a points deduction before a ball has even been kicked. And despite Promotion and the money injected into Clubs who get to the Premier League last season all clubs who got Promoted have been Relegated back to the Championship this season. And as you have stated those Clubs will have a huge advantage over all the other Clubs in the Championship due to the Parachute Payments System. It just gets worse and it will remain so until the people who run the EFL are replaced by others who have the Lower League Clubs and their Fans interests at Heart.

You know Every Year I try and find something different to give the Wife on Special Occasions, Such has her Birthday Wedding Anniversary or Christmas. I Remember Last Christmas. I Bought her An Artificial Leg, As a Stocking Filler.

There is a Saying KEEP POLITICS OUT OF SPORT. Perhaps KEEP POLITICS OFF OF SPORTS SITES Such as PON, Should Be Added. Politics only Serves to Divide People on here and Fans who normally can Debate and have a difference of opinion about the Magpies and do it all amicably change and take snipes at each other. Please Guys Don't Go Down That Path. How about a Politics Ban on PON @Chris

@Robbie Yeah I remember James Burke well glad to know he's still alive and kicking. There was also a certain piece of music played to introduce the Apollo missions which was Presented by James, and during an interview James stated every time his wife heard that piece of Music, she would say Listen Darling they're playing Our Tune. The Fire in which the Astronauts died happened not long after 3 Russian Cosmonauts had died after the parachute on their Command Module failed to open, and as all Russian Rockets unlike the Americans touched down on land instead of in the sea the 3 Guys perished, when their module crashed to Earth. (I think I'm right if memory serves). Thanks for the correct message update regarding what was said on Apollo 13 to the Command Centre. You might like to know there's a very Funny Skit by Phil Jupitus on You Tube telling a the Story if Apollo 13 had been piloted by a crew of British Astronauts. He does all the different voices and it's well worth watching. If you haven't seen it already.

Well it's all Well and Good the Championship and Leagues 1 & 2 attempting to Cut Costs or attempting to cut loses but what about the Premier League? The Cost to compete in that Division is Crazy anywhere from £20 million to £100million plus Transfer Deals, players being paid anything from a £100k to £500k a week is disgusting, until the Premier League Costs and Payments are bought under Control how are teams further down the Football Pyramid going to compete? They'll need to spend money (which they probably have Not Got) to be on Par with other Richer Clubs. Take Notts as an Example should they gain Promotion next Season how much Extra cost will the Owners have to pay out to enable them to put together a side capable performing and competing in League 1? And how much of that cost will be passed on to the Fans?

Blimey @Robbie I well remember that mission and watching the Splash down and the Apollo Crew being brought on Board the Pick Up Ship along with my Dear Old Dad (well he wasn't Old then). There were many legendry films from the Apollo missions that remain in the memory from the Triumph of the Moon Landing and the Tragic Capsule fire which killed all the Crew. I believe that was the year before the Apollo 8 mission. And the Apollo 13 Mission and the Houston We Have A Problem line, which I Believe was Misquoted, not sure of the proper quote.

This just in from from Hollywood. A Brand New All Action Movie about Classical Music Composes is due to start Film in the Late Summer. Starring Sylvester Stallone Dolph Lundgren Chuck Norris and Arnold Schwarzenegger. We now go over to see which Composer the Stars will be. Who will you be Sly? I'll be Beethoven What about you Dolph? I'll be Mozart. And you Chuck? I'll be Straus And Finally Arnie Who will you be? I'll be Bach.

@Robbie Agreed with what you say regarding emotionless and relationship with the Fans and the Rest of your points. But if Android players make the Powers that be Money then you can Guarantee, pretty much like top Premier League Clubs nowadays, Fans feelings will Count for Nothing.

It would seem while a good selection of Fans are happy with Southgate's Squad there is still a Big Worry from Fans that the England Defence doesn't have enough Experience. Well time will tell if Southgate's gamble will payoff or Not.

In all honesty will there ever be a day when Humanoid Robot's actually take over from real Human Players ? Could Artificial Life forms out think and out play Human opposition? At the moment this seems to be in the realms of Science Fiction, but maybe one day. Already Robotic Engineers have built Robots which can help in Factories, around the home and even in combat. There are many types of Humanoid Robot's already built who can perform certain tasks to view on You tube and who's to say how long will it be before Robotics enters the World of Sport ? Who knows your Great (or Great Great Grandkids) may be watching a Robotic Team of Magpie players down the Lane on a Saturday. Just Imagine a Android likeness of Macca playing along side an Android Les Brad in attack. While a Killer Kilcline and a Michael Doyle Robot would boost the Notts Defence. The only real expense a Club would have would be up dating it's Soft Ware. No injuries, No Medical Bills, No special diets. No Player fatigue No Subs just a Small Squad of maybe 15 Androids, a First team 11 and 4 Robots on Standby in case of any Damages or Power Failures in the First 11 during a Match. All the Android Players would be programmed with all match tactics. Could it happen ? Who knows? But Don't Discount it.

@Robbie I was thinking along the lines of a Humanoid Robot. Then Robot Players. How do you feel about that? Could it Happen?

With the Advance on a almost daily Basis, could there ever be a Time when Football Clubs are Managed or Coached by Artificial Intelligence?

@Scotty I was not aware of any Italian Investment, if it has happened then it doesn't appear to be in any Media either National or Local. And there been nothing on the Official Notts County Site. Other members on PON may have heard of it but Notts Fans I know all have stated they've heard Nothing. In fact looking at anything on the Internet, the Owners of Notts County are Chris & Alex Reedtz owners of Football Radar and there's Nothing regarding them being the Heads of a Consortium in purchasing Notts. But as long as they keep the Magpies on a Financial Even Keel and there's No worries of the Magpies going into Administration, then all Well and Good. It appears that Notts have Adopted a Slow But Sure Attitude regarding Promotion higher up the Football Pyramid. And as Notts Advance I Honestly Hope the Club Remain Family Focused and there's Always a Connection between Players and Notts Fans.

Hey @Robbie have you seen the Lee Evans skit on the Scoring in Tennis on You Tube? It's very Funny and well worth a Watch.

On a visit to the Doctor's I was informed don't eat anything Fatty. What like Chips Pies Crips ? I asked No said the Doc .Don't eat anything Fatty!! My Mate thinks he's a Chocolate Orange. I'm worried he might be sectioned. Poor Terry. I remember one time before me and the wife were married we were snogging on the Settee and she looked at me and said Do you want to take this into the Bedroom. I said Ok you grab the other end. A Mate of mine lost his job as a Zoo Keeper. Which he thought was very unfair. Throughout the Zoo there were signs everywhere saying Do Not Feed The Animals. So He Didn't.
