I'm drunk, very very drunk. It's after 3 in the morning and i've just opened another bottle when i should be in bed. My brother spoke to some Notts fans in the pub ( they had gone by the time i got there) and they were very complimentary. Said they don't know why we were so low as we looked like one of the best sides they had faced all season, and they were expecting a much easier game. One said the save from Macca was the best they had seen all season, and they were genuinely chuffed for us.

We met a couple of Notts fans on the buss on the way to the ground and had a great chat with them. Decent, honest fans, supporting a real football club. Kindred spirits.

Wow! What a performance by the whole team, what a game, what a save from Macca, what a comeback, what a manager. Just wow.

I don’t know people are moaning about this season or any other that we have experienced. They are never dull , either pushing for promotion or trying to avoid relegation. We are never mid table mediocrity. Would you like to be a Gainsborough Trinity fan , 145 years in the same division until relegation this season ? Now that is what I call boring. Roll on next season for another ride of adventure .

Pedant alert. That's not quite correct. There were in the Football League until the 1910's but they failed to be re-elected one season after finishing bottom.

Apparently not being re-elected doesn't count as a relegation!

Great weekend, great game, great result, an absolute rollercoaster of a game, under Jolly I think the futures bright its Black and White (as long as he doesn't take too much notice of Wilko when discussing who gets a new deal)

It would be too neat and tidy for that to have been in the Notts I suppose.  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

What a great performance and result.  The whole team played well and were determined to get over the line. Great celebrations and relief at the end.  

Fitting that the 2 main POTY contenders still stood out. Macca with that wonder save and his run up the pitch after the winning goal. Made up for going walkabout for their goal.  Summerfield was everywhere. He ran from midfield once to stop one attack, then sprinted back to midfield to help create something.  He had the knack of beating County players by good timing.  Just gliding effortlessly pass them. He was encouraging the other players all game.

Jolley will know now about the true passion of the fans. Who ever thought that we would play so well and survive during the Slade era?  We survived with the 2nd worst goal difference and the fewest number of home goals of any team.  Not surprising gates were down this season.

Thank you Mr Jolley and the players who were not as bad as Slade made them.

The No2. They were waiting for their train. I got kicked out of there at 2.30 a.m.
