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…

Posh 2-0 Leicester – All Hail King Charlie
As if scoring the winner against Northampton wasn’t enough, Charlie Lee may just have written his name into Posh folklore once more. This time, it was a delightful goal, backed up by a sensational 90 minutes of defensive dominance, that caused London Road to sing his name in unison. With the nation listening on FiveLive,…
Bristol Rovers 0-1 Posh
Hardly the nine goal thriller of the home tie back in September, but this match had the nerves jangling of absent Posh fans right up to the 94th minute. Mclean’s first goal in six games was enough to squeeze out a seventh win in eight games. So, just seven more wins and Posh will definitely…
Posh 2-1 Scunthorpe
Tonight’s guest reporter is LondonRoad.net stalwart Hugh Janus: The first half was depressing. It was like watching a re-run of us being given a football lesson by West Brom. Scunthorpe could trap the ball and pass it to their own players – we were capable of doing neither. The only surprise was that their goal…
Posh 0-0 MK Dons

Take it away, Barry: “My fellow Poshies, we stand here today not because we choose to, but because we have to….
Posh 2-2 Oldham
Almost 80 years to the day, in a small terraced house on the outskirts of Oldham, Bernard Cribbins was born. Famous for narrating The Wombles, Cribbins would have been amused to see the rubbish on display at London Road today. Posh have a reputation now for making good use of the things that we find,…
Posh 2-1 Colchester
You know, the last time we were beaten in the league was August 30 – that’s 13 League One games unbeaten. That’s pretty damn impressive by anyone’s standards. Saturday’s game was another ugly, scrappy win, with goals from Craig Mackail-Smith and George Boyd cancelling out Clive Platt’s header. Next Saturday it’s FA Cup time again,…
Posh 4-0 Huddersfield
Just as the man who has endured the famine may celebrate the harvest, so may the man who has stood among 3000 other hardy souls on a Tuesday night in February, watching Barry Fry’s Peterborough United kick and rush their way to a 0-0 stalemate with Northern Industrial Town FC bask in the warm glow…
