Nardiello Denied by a Puddle: Schmeichel Loves It

Never Captain Nicky Butt 19 November @ 12:36 AM EST
Not nearly as bad as the Hand of the Frog - Henry's double handball that led France to the World Cup over the deserving Irish, we have the overshadowed goal that wasn't today from Daniel Nardiello, the Bury striker.
Funny stuff here. What a watered down pitch. Brilliant goalkeeping by the puddle there, as Kasper Schmeichel of Notts County was well beaten. Click to continue reading...

Sol back on the radar.

Chris Hughton doesn't rule out bringing Sol Campbell to Newcastle United. I think Hughton is yanking my chain because back on 31st October I wrote an article suggesting that Campbell was one of his transfer targets but then on the 3rd November I had to write an article saying he wasn't after Hughton said: "There is no [.

Kettering Preview

FC Boro 29 October @ 05:28 PM EST

Boro face arguably their biggest game of the season against 3rd place Kettering Town at Rockingham Road this weekend. Graham Westley's side, who currently sit 2nd, are six points behind table toppers Oxford United while Kettering are a point further back of Boro, but have a game in hand. 3 points in Northamptonshire would give Boro a bit of breathing space as they challenge for top spot.

Why Sven-Goran Eriksson’s appointment of Hans Backe is hardly surprising

Off the Post 27 October @ 03:26 PM EST
Notts County's new manager is predictable Notts County have appointed Sven Goran Eriksson's former Manchester City assistant Hans Backe as their new manager. Ex-boss Ian McParland never really stood a chance in the post, and it was only a matter of time before Eriksson took over the managerial power. Click to continue reading...

Fact: Benitez will NOT get the sack from Liverpool owners

The Football League Fails The Fit & Proper Test

Twohundredpercent 23 October @ 12:43 AM EST

On their website this week, Notts County Football Club have invited all to "celebrate the football league decision on Saturday" when they entertain Crewe Alexandra. But before you decide whether to join the party, it might be an idea to examine what it is they are celebrating. Remarkably, Notts County fans themselves will be celebrating the fact that they are not allowed to know who owns their club (what was, earlier this year, literally their club).

Sven declines Swedish job

Soccerblog 20 October @ 08:10 AM EST

The Swede who is director of football at Notts County felt he could combine his position at the club and the coaching job of the Swedish national team. The Swedish football association was on board with the proposal. But Notts County executive chairman Peter Trembling felt that Eriksson could not have his cake and eat it too.

Is the dream turning into a nightmare for Notts County?

A few months ago I wrote a blog comparing the fortunes of England's two Magpies – Newcastle and Notts County.
Back then Newcastle were in despair, mourning the loss of their Premier League status. Meanwhile, County were sky high, revelling in their new found wealth.
Their takeover in July, by the mysterious Munto Finance group, promised a bright future and lofty ambitions included Premier League football once more for the oldest league club in the world. Click to continue reading...

Should supporters be involved in running their own clubs?

Pitch Invasion 19 October @ 11:58 AM EST

When a conference on supporter involvement in English football includes speakers from Barcelona, UEFA, the F.A. and non-league football clubs, you know something unusual is going on.

This isn't the Leaders in Football conference of a couple of weeks ago, but it might have been just as important: Supporters Direct's annual conference concluded last week in Birmingham, and it seems to have cut to the heart of the question of how and why supporters should be involved in the governance of their clubs.

Supporters Direct Arrive At The Crossroads

Twohundredpercent 17 October @ 09:21 AM EST

This year's annual Supporters Direct conference found the organisation at something of a crossroads. The high profile failure of Supporters Trusts at Notts County and Stockport County have caused a deal of unwanted attention to be cast upon SD (even though they are obviously not for responsible for the goings on at specific trusts) and, with continuing concerns about the credentials of some of the owners coming into the game, this year's conference was always going to carry an underlying theme about two subjects: foreign ownership and the question of whether supporter ownership of clubs is always a good thing.

The Price of Success

Ever been hurt by a paper aeroplane? Why flare it up, Cesc, Theo & Notts County/Chelsea

Gunners Today 13 October @ 12:00 AM EST

Don't worry, I'm not advertising any insurance here. Not sure about the odds but you'd be very unlucky to get hurt by a paper aeroplane that's for sure. Seriously though, have you ever been hurt by one? If so, is it as bad as David James makes it out to be? This is what he said,

They were big flares, granted, but you could argue that someone throwing a paper aeroplane on the pitch might take someone's eye out.
