The beautiful land of Peterborough, caught up in the Soke of Northampton, this antique replica of something yet to be discovered, in original terms, a town, in every day terms a dodgy toe nail hanging on to the cleft pallet of a donkeys bum.
Oh, it’s what we do on here, it’s our way of welcoming our opponents.
The Posh
Although the present club did not come into being until 1934, the 'Posh' name first came to the fore a decade earlier, almost certainly stemming from Pat Tirrel, player manager of Fletton United, a previous user of the present club's London Road ground, who announced in close season of 1921 that he was looking for 'Posh players for a Posh team' to compete in the Northamptonshire League (later the United Counties League). Fletton, previously known as the 'Brickies,' re-formed as Peterborough and Fletton United in 1923 and both nicknames were in use through the 1920s, although supporters complained that 'Posh' references were sometimes used by newspapers in a derisory manner. Peterborough and Fletton United folded in 1932, the present club was formed two years later and a Midland League debut against Gainsborough Trinity on 1st September 1934 was greeted with cries of 'Up The Posh' from the crowd.
Did you know ?
Victoria ( my heads in my arse) Beckham challenged Peterborough United registering their club nickname as a trademark in 1998 ? It obviously didn’t work as they are still called The Posh today, and she is a washed up old deckchair.
Celebrity gimp, VIctoria Beckham who thinks she is bigger than a whole community
The Posh
Peterborough United are a small club that do cock waving splendidly well. They will see this game as a cup final against the divisions ‘pass masters’ After many seasons in the Premier League the swans have been targets for teams to play above themselves when they visit Wales. Such is the way clubs hold Swansea in high esteem. If it wasn’t for that the swans would have won all their games. They are favourites to win this game for sure. The people of Peterborough land are called gimps, and the town itself is recognised as one of the worst town's to live in. Voted by the very people who live there. Peterborough is actually in Canada.

They have won their last 2. |
"lowly position"
That make it worse.
Tough game for sure and we need not to faff around at the back.Do that and we will lose.
Play it smart right from the start and deploy the right players in right positions and we should win -easily. |  |

The Posh beat QPR last time out, QPR are currently 7th. This isn't an easy game but it's winnable.
Anybody who thinks we have an automatic right to win this game really doesn't understand the Championship.
We are 4 points of 5th place, currently in that spot are Luton. There are 2/3 teams that will probably fight out the automatic spots, Bournemouth, Fulham and WBA. Derby, Barnsley, Hull and Cardiff look quite poor. Anywhere in between that, anything is possible. Peterborough are 7 points off Luton. | |

I really fancy us to give them a lesson tomorrow. |  |

If the weather stays ok I'm hoping for a good game, if it's wet and windy maybe us keeping the ball on the floor will help but who knows!
Either way I am hoping for a win. Preferably tomorrow we start from the first whistle and won't wait for the second half before putting in a performance! | |

Surely the last two home games have been decent throughout the ninety ? |  |

Not sure about that. Until we scored against the scum we weren't anything special and could have been one down were it not for Hamer. Against Wba we conceded after 50 seconds and weren't great for most of the first half after that. |  |

The West Brom goal was an aberration- Paterson being very careless with possession which cost us dear. Apart from that it was a great game - we controlled possession for the rest of the first half and dominated the second.
Cardiff had a weak shot on target which was a comfortable save for Hamer and offered nothing else.in reality it could have been 5 nil for the nailed on penalty and loads of missed second half chances. Some people must be born miserable if they can’t recognise this. | |

Looking back at the Birmingham highlights it’s clear to see we missed Flynn Downes like a hole in the head. Without him we looked weak , leaderless and flat. Great to see he’s likely to be back today. | |

Well what is encouraging that we were able to improve as the game went on and win them. But I don't think it's accurate to say they were '90 minute' performances | |

Now, people are no doubt going to say I am setting Martin up for a fall or some nonsense like that.
But let's be real here, these are the games we just simply 'should' win. Of course we aren't guaranteed to win, but we really should. We are joint with Sheff Utd this weekend in terms of biggest favorites. They are home against Blackpool, both around 3/5 favorites giving us a 62.5% of taking the 3 points, 16.7% of losing and 20.8% chance of sharing the spoils.
We know we will dominate the ball, maybe 75% or so. We know they may come down for a point and park the bus. So Martin needs to learn the lesson from the Hull game and move the ball quicker forward, less slow, ponderous short passing and try and catch them out of position with a direct ball after a flurry of short passes ala Brendan and Roberto.
We know what to expect from this match and we know how we should go about it. Now it is simply a matter of doing it.
2-0 Piroe and Ntcham. |  |

'... try and catch them out of position with a direct ball after a flurry of short passes ala Brendan and Roberto.'
That is how we have been scoring. Without the long periods of possession there would be no no contrast from which to catch them out!
A massive problem we have is lack of height in attack. Without the option to cross and have players genuinely challenge in the air we have not only reduced the type of attack we could make it also means the defence knows the ball will be kept low.
All teams have difficulty breaking down 11 man defences ... even sides under the godlike Cooper found it impossible and, I know this is sacrilege to some, we underperformed against 'lowly' sides under his management. | |

Well if Downes starts that's pretty much what I'm expecting from us. | | | |

It has been indeed, as I have said many times now our style has shifted from short passing at all costs (4% long) to a mixed style of play (12-14% long), with it have come a lot of our recent goals.
However, we do try to start with the former and go to the latter once we go behind. I would like to see us do that from the start as it is far more effective than the meaningless short passing possession.
I know Cooper had a bad result against Wycombe at home from memory, but I will have to check that record against lowly sides claim. It may well be true but apart from that game it never struck me as that being the case.
I will record 20th and below and take a look, stand by. | |

Doesn't appear to be true.
20 games, (10 home and 10 away vs 20th or lower in both seasons combined).
12 wins, 5 draws, 3 losses. 2.05 points per game. 94 points season average.
41 points from a possible 60. | |

Besides, it's about all the games and we weren't great first half against Brum.
If we put in a full 90 like the second half against WBA we'll put 5/6 on Posh, if we start slow or they score first, who knows.
I'm confident we CAN win but it's never a given. | |

It’s not how you start it’s how you finish. Our possession game isn’t likely to provide an early flurry of goals - more likely to tire a team out and then take advantage. | |

I agree, however if we get caught early through a mistake or even good football they will bank up which then becomes harder for us to break down, this is where we need to be quicker and mix it a little. The issue i have then is they will sit in and double up on Laird forcing us down the left. I do think we are getting quicker but need Downs in the CH position to start it all off or to shut it down if we balls up. |  | | |

Wasn't a penalty though.
I'm fed up watching sides fet given dubious decisions where we get denied stonewall penalties e.g. Cardiff. We have to work hard for our points.
Fulham are a good side I admit but that second goal was ganded yo them on a plate by a very experienced player. Can't remember when we got lucky.
Bitter rant over! |  |

Gifted two goals, first a refereeing mistake, second as poor a backpass as you'll ever see.
Guess we're not the only side to make things easy for him. | | | |
