On Tuesday the club announced that a bid from Norwich had been rejected, cue simultaneous release of held breaths. But what’s this? Canary fans are reporting on their forums that Barry Fry is a Carrow Road, surely not? Finally the Norwich board announced that they’d withdrawn their interest in CMS after Posh ‘moved the goalposts’…
Sheff Wed 1 Posh 4
It had to happen. The day after ferocious speculation about the future of the golden boy, he steps up to open the scoring at Hillborough, and from a one-on-one. Ten minutes later Tomlin executed an exquisite chip and Weaver was left looking like a chump as the ball sailed into the far corner. Another six minutes and George…
Canary Craig
A handful of Posh fans were unlucky enough to hear Dion Dublin exclusively reveal, to a TV audience of hundreds, that CMS was signing for Norwich today. Those few duly wound up a few more by repeating the ‘news’ by whatever media they could lay their hands on. By morning the londonroad.net community was in a…
Posh 6 Carlisle 0
Before Fergie returned Posh had posted just three clean sheets in the league all season, yesterday was their fourth in a row. That was probably enough to put a smile on the fat chipmunk’s face [(c) Gaz_Miller], but racking up another six goals saw Alvin in a jubilant mood when he appeared in front of the…
Notts County 0 Posh 1
A Charlie Lee scorcher after 57 minutes was enough to settle an otherwise scrappy game and one where the home side had most of the possession and territory. The County match report sportingly described Lee’s strike as a “hopeful punt {that} dipped into the top corner.” Alex Rae, Ince’s assistant at Meadow Lane, complained later that…
Posh 3 Exeter 0
When Ferguson picked up the FebruaryMotM award earlier in the week Posh fans naturally contemplated the likely bogey effect. Instead, the news that George Boyd had become a dad lifted everyone’s spirits, and his own performance. A brace from him and a late goal from CMS (25 for the season) was more than enough to see…
Oldham 0 Posh 5
Blimey, consecutive clean sheets away from home, and we shouldn’t have been surprised given that Oldham hadn’t scored in four games before today. Still, five second half goals without reply was more than any sensible Posh fan could have expected. Rowe’s third goal of the season on 49 minutes was followed three minutes later by Ball’s first for the…
Posh 1 Colchester 1
10th March 2009, the last time Posh won three games on the trot. In fact they went on to win another four to make it seven in a row. All the other play-off contenders drew tonight too. Boyd scored his ninth of the season and CMS made it two games without scoring. The wheels have…
Posh 2 Tranmere 1
For the fourth time this season Posh notch a win despite losing at half-time. A bit of rain in the morning led to a flurry of incredulous posts on the forum that the match might be called off. “What?!” But the shocking state of the pitch suggests the decision might have been a close call after all. On…
Yeovil 0 Posh 2
Team with poor away record beats team with poor home record. CMS made it 22 for the season (17 in the league) and Grant Basey scored on his debut. The excitement didn’t start until the 85th minute by which time most Posh fans were probably thinking about bed. Posh are up to sixth in the…
