After cruising to victory against Colchester thanks to a thunderous first half strike from Charlie Lee posh were made to wait an agonising 5 minutes plus of added time for comfirmation that Walsall had beaten the MK Dons. Now the celebrations can start in earnest. A more detailed update will be posted in the next couple of days, hopefully with photos of the celebrations. In the meantime, sit back, enjoy the sensation and look forward to playing the likes of Newcastle next season!

Celebrating CMS's late winner (copyright S Turner)
With four minutes left it looked like Millwall and MKD were going to close the gap to Posh. Then, in one of those wonderfully chaotic defensive disasters, Oldham’s right back Eardley and keeper Supple couldn’t work out who should deal with an aimless punt and Craig Mackail-Smith simply waltzed around them both to tap the ball into an unguarded net.
Joe Royle thought the result was unfair. Posh had dominated the first half and CMS’s first goal on 26 minutes should have been followed by two or three more. Oldham’s equaliser by Taylor two minutes before half time was immediately followed by another ‘goal’ from Allesandra, but the ref saw a foul in the build up and Posh fans could breathe again.
Meanwhile Leicester came from behind to lead Carlisle briefly at the Walkers Stadium only for Dobie to equalise two minutes into injury time. Posh need 11 points to clinch automatic promotion.
