Posh Fans Podcast - Nightmare on London Road

[standingontheglebe]

Fair play to you on Saturday - totally outclassed us both on and off the pitch.

Our thoughts on the game and the aftermath can be found on Episode 12 of Standing On The Glebe - The Un-Official Posh Fans Podcast, which can be found on itunes or via our website: Standing On The Glebe - The Unofficial Posh Podcast

We dont normally release it until a Monday, but as it was our Cup Final on Saturday we thought we had better rush it out.......sake.

Feedback is very welcome

Cheers

Thanks, I will enjoy listening to this. I found you last one very entertaining, although I think you need to get things in perspective. You are 1 point off second place. Last week you lost to an in form Brentford and yesterday you were outclassed by us. Not the end of the world...you did it to us a couple of years back at Withdean. Listening to your manager, tonight it sounds like he is thinking of quitting. Why? Its not like you are a big club like Southampton or Sheffield Wednesday? Oh and by the way, thought your keeper was magnificent and would love to see that Mackail Smith fella in an Albion shirt!

Due to the likes of CMS we dug ourselves out of many a hole early on in the season when we were conceding goals for fun. The problem is that we are still giving goals away like they were penny sweets but have stopped scoring.

We started the season well but are very much now on the slide and Johnson is feeling the pressure. Hopefully he will take his medicine as given out by Poyet on Saturday, re-group and get us going again.

All the best

Listening to it now, very good!

Cheers mate. It was a great day out at Posh. Great ground, great location, no aggro.

 

[The Hon Sec]

Love the comment about the Albion crowd, too right there were many more than 2,500 Brighton there. Good luck for the remainder of the season

Listening to the podcast at the moment and thouroughly enjoying it. Obviously the scoreline makes it a lot more enjoyable for our fans. You are obviously all knowledgable fans that love your club and it's nice to hear an unbiased view on a game.

I must say I agreed with pretty much everything you said, the biggest thing to me was why your manager felt the need to label the game your cup final - bizarre to say the least.

Anyway, like I said it's a very good listen. Good work.

 

[Goodfella]

great listen, you boys are brutaly honest, and to be fair this defeat may not be a bad thing for you. Good luck for the rest of the season.

 

[Smithy]

Also listening to it now. Very good.

You have just said your team is better than ours on paper. I think your fans underestimate the quality we have got. Your strikeforce is probably better than ours but not sure that your defence and midfield is.

Just going to post that myself. We have a quality defence. I would take your keeper, our defence, our midfield, and other than maybe CMS rather than Barnes our forwards. Remember Lualua did not even got on the pitch.

Very very good indeed.

Not based on us winning, just simply very listenable.

 

[middletoenail]

I love this "our team is better than theirs on paper". Just makes them seem so arrogant! We are top of the league by 8 points and have spanked Both Boro and Charlton away.

Keep underestimating us, love it!

I like different fans' perspectives on football in general, and this is a very good show. Obviously Peterborough fans, but not biased in their opinions and talking sense about the game. Sometimes you're just outplayed on the day, and there's nothing you can do about it. There's not point in trying to say you did it to yourselves or suggesting the referee cost you the game, you just have to hold your hands up and admit you were just beaten by a better team, that's football.

 

[Firingblanks1]

Fair play, your defence is looking pretty leaky! But, 4-3 and 5-4 sounds like there is never a dull moment at London Road! I still think you will be OK and thereabouts at the end of the season. It is still only the autumn and there is a long way to go! Mind you, even in my wildest dreams I could not see us being top let alone eight points clear. We seem to be getting better and better, have strength in depth in most positions and only need a few more wins and we will guarantee being clear of relegation!

At last, someone can pronounce El-Abd properly.

 

[Firingblanks1]

Also, I have been watching the Albion for over 40 years, and yesterday was the best away performance I have ever seen from an Albion side.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

At last, someone can pronounce El-Abd properly.

We must have started listening at pretty much exactly the same time!

What I liked about them mentioning El-Abd, was that they said he had Mackail-Smith, probably the best striker in this league, in his pocket all game!

Brilliant, this thread is a good read until the 12th post with some tirsome, boring 'let's have a pop' comment. Grow up and leave the sensible discussions to the adults.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Interesting and frank. Thanks.

 

[SUIYHP]

Its interesting to hear this, really good, loving the Bennett compliments, we love him too

Good luck to Peterboro, you are an alright team and hopefully this little down phase is not too bad. No aggro against you whatsoever.
