How is it going?

Ha ha slack is right, how many times do we buy someone who's meant to be good and then he goes ****. Then he leaves and goes good again. We're doomed ha ha. Isn't there a curse on the ground?

As someone who would walk under a ladder, bet on number 13 at the casino, and has no belief at all in superstition, a curse on Notts County is still the best explanation I can come up with. I think slack is spot on, it seems that there is a principle that we can't seem to shake off.

Where Notts are concerned, if it can go wrong, it will go wrong.

Yeah.

And why does it always seem to be us that buck the natural trend?

We get promoted after a storming season. All the punters say "watch out for Notts, they were real quality last season in division X, they will have real momentum..." We all know what happens next - we struggle.

When we get relegated, the punters say "watch out for Notts - surely they will have too much quality for division Y..." We all know what happens next - we struggle.

Absolutely. In fact, what happened to Kevin Nolan sums this up perfectly. He saves us from relegation, gets us into the playoffs with an average squad, and brings the whole club together for the first time in ages. Then he spends big over the summer, making what everyone thought were quality signings. We start the season as favourites, and what happens? We're bottom after a few games, Nolan is sacked, and we end up getting relegated.

I know I said it before, but that whole situation just sums us up perfectly. Most other clubs in that situation would have just got promoted, or at worst had an average (and disappointing) midtable campaign. But no, not us.
