Notts County fan long exiled in the south east.
Feels a little harsh on Ness who’s led the defence well. Iorpenda probably best alternative to Palmer who we’ll miss. Where’s Jarvis? Can’t see Traore being preferred to him.

Struggling to understand how PGMOL could definitively conclude the decision was wrong from the video available. There was contact in the box and a penalty wasn’t an unreasonable call, even if many feel it was a bit soft. #notts

Interesting interview with Lewis Macari about his experience waiting for the outcome of his gambling charge with the advertising board behind him illustrating the relationship between football and the gambling industry. #notts

“There are some people who hate London, and hate New York,” Mayor Sadiq Khan told me, on Bloomberg TV. “There's a reason why they demonize London, and now, indeed, New York. Why? Because we are progressive cities. We are liberal cities. We are multicultural cities. And we are incredibly successful.”

Last night clear evidence how far we’ve dropped since Williams left. Our NL side probably wins that and doesn’t lose. Some better players but the vision is missing. #notts

Nottinghamshire’s unfancied men lead them to County Championship title
Nottinghamshire’s unfancied men lead them to County Championship title
The head coach, Peter Moores, and the captain, Haseeb Hameed, both long-since rejected by England, inspired team to first pennant since 2010
Nottinghamshire, who only just darted away from the closing doors of relegation last summer, are the surprise winners of the 2025 County Championship, ending Surrey’s run of wins from 2022 to 2024, and collecting their first title since 2010.
It came with a big beautiful six from Kyle Verreynne, which arced over the midwicket boundary and took Notts past the magic 300-run mark, gave them a second batting bonus point, and made them uncatchable. Continue reading...

My ex has lived in the UK for 38 years. She has worked in the NHS and for the last decade in a primary school. She has raised our children here, pays taxes, owns property. This is her only home. Now Farage wants her to apply for a new visa every 5 years. I am shocked, angry, disgusted. And scared.

Thinking about yesterday, the constructive play came from Palmer, Bedeau and Tsaroulla/Jones combining on the left to
create space. I can’t recall similar combinations being worked on the right.
Our success since the National League has come from this play with different individuals. #notts
