West Ham will be spending Saturday night on the edge of heaven after picking up 3 points against a hardworking Posh side. The home team had certainly been expected the have the freedom on the pitch to give chief executive Karen Brady everything she wants. On paper the hammers were certainly stronger, last Christmas there was 2 divisions between these sides, but it didn’t show and instead we saw Posh, with their young guns, go for it.
The game was decided early in the first half when Lee Frecklington labelled Posh bad boys by pushing Henri Lansbury in the area. West Ham seemed unsure who would take the penalty before Mark Noble declared “I’m your man” and slotted the ball home. Much of the rest of the game was fruitless, several fans dropping off and asking neighbours to wake me up before the go go. Posh battled on but as one fan shouted “where did your heart go?”, wherever it went they’ll be lamenting a missed point in Club Tropicana tonight.
Had Burnley’s most famous son, Sir Ian McKellen, been looking down at London Road from the heavens on Saturday a few worrying thoughts may have crossed his mind. The first, and perhaps scariest concept he’d have considered first is how the hell he ended up floating in the sky above Peterborough in the first place….

The current trend amongst managers, officials and fans is to react to a Carling Cup defeat by pointing out that it’s a pointless cup. So here goes. “God, what a pointless cup”. Yes that certainly showed them and no mistake. The truth of the matter is that we put out our best available XI and…

I didn’t watch this match. I can’t believe I missed this match, it was on Sky for crying out loud and I still didn’t watch it. I was in Scarborough, in a pub, in fancy dress, on a stag do. I’m sorry, but to be fair I’ve never let my lack of match knowledge get…

Apparently nobody likes Millwall, but they don’t care. It’s admirable but after hearing it 327 times in an hour you do wonder who they’re trying to kid. They must be the most insecure fans in the country, spending their time between matches sitting on a urine soaked mattress, rocking gently, like a Romanian Orphan. They…

Ben Futcher, Trevor Benjamin, Exodus Geoghegan – yes it’s fair to say there have been some donkeys at Posh over the years, however the only donkeys on Display yesterday were the ones on the beach. Over 1,000 fans travelled to Blackpool attracted by both the football and those arcade games where you put 10p in…

With the whole country expecting Posh to get stuffed this season (including most of the regulars in the forum) it came as no surprise when Sean Scannell put the visitors in front. However, like a wounded Badger being rounded upon by a group of angry Welsh farmers Posh fought back. Palace were unable to cope…

Dear Darragh, that decision of yours not to release CMS before the end of the loan period? Vindicated mate, vindicated. Posh tore into Huddersfield from the off and only a late challenge prevented CMS from opening the scoring as his shot was deflected onto the post and out for a corner with Bennett stranded. CMS…

Superb. Posh were poor in the first leg. They had avoided the larger goal deficit that they deserved. Now the team was out to make amends. Every single player on the pitch attacked their role with determination and enthusiasm rarely seen since the days of Chris Turner’s heroes. This squad has considerably more skill but tonight they fought…

When CMS notched after just eight minutes it seemed as though Posh would breeze through this tie. But Lewis, injured in a first-half collision with Lee, failed to return after the break and was replaced by Jones. Within 11 minutes of the restart Posh were 3-1 down and, shortly afterwards, a man down when Charlie Lee…
