Benjino keeps on playing Benji's fine run continues at the biggest PLC away day so far. His well taken goal a minute into the second half was enough to see off a piss-poor Stockport team in an even poorer match. The full gory details of Squires smack habit, Ken's geographical ignorance and the joy of Grapes can be found here. Enjoy Trev describes Stockport. Hhhmmm nice Site update Well after successfully managing to screw up the forum I finally managed to get the Warrick shirt collection online. It's a fine testament to a young man's obsession of all things Posh. Take a peak its great The Warrick shirt collection Another example of young Nick's obsessions is on the newly updated banners and flags page The Good the bad and the ugly Just what is going on at London Rd? Some pitiful defending and a two sendings off saw Posh lose by the five goals in five at Walsall. Up next was a trickier-on-paper trip to Swindon where, well knock me down with a feather Trevor scored the only goal of the game to hand Swindon their first home defeat of the season. Three days later the long awaited cup match against Everton saw Posh lose to a last minute goal from Steve Irwin fanatic Tim Cahill. Big Trev continued from his Swindon display with a fine a shit-kicking display and getting the Posh's equaliser. Would the fine run continue with a glamour tie against the monkey hangers? Did it bollocks. 5-3 and the least said the better. Oh and to follow up on the general malaise we only just managed to draw against Barnet. Arse. Though the best news of the lot was that Daaaaaarrrrraaaaaggggghhhh McAntony, a man who made his millions selling luxury holiday homes, the type that Fry mortgages on a regular basis to save the club, is now the chairman. He also said he wants to own the club entirely in the next few months. Is it the end of Fry? No this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. I'm sure you'll join us in extending a warm welcome to Darragh and that this will be the start of something beautiful. Below is a copy of the welcome letter the PLC sent him. Dear Darragh, Two in a row 11th September The first defeat of the season, a last minute loss against Bury was followed by the worst 30 minutes of the season where we conceded three goals to Darlington. There was no turning back from the nightmare first half hour and Posh lost 3-1. Up next a difficult trip to Spaghetti junction and Walsall. Notts landing: 27th August: Well it was more akin to a wrestling match between Jason Lee and Guy Branston rather than a football match but still a point is a point away from home. A game of painfully few chances but high on PLC related humour saw Posh keep another clean sheet away from home and remain unbeaten for the season. Though the elbows of Jason lee have apparently fractured the check of Richards and given the rest an unexpected preview of facial reconstruction surgery. Though Posh gave as good as they got and still have yet to concede away from home. Another plus point was the news that our excellent performance against Ipswich was being rewarded with a home tie against Everton which will be shown on Sky. Ohhhhhhhhhh. Still Everton have started the season well and so have we, so it promises to be a belter. Oh and Ed managed to break the drum. Well done lad
Tractors turned over 23rd August: Well knock me down with a feather, after predicting that Tuesday might be an upset lo and behold Posh managed to beat Championship side Ipswich Town in what was a fantastic match. Benji shed his banjo, for some smaller instrument (a kazoo perhaps) and scored his third in two games from the spot after winning the penalty him self. Mark Tyler, who made his 420th appearance, which now puts him second in the all time appearance list, kept the Posh in ahead but was powerless to stop Ipswich equalising in the 90th minute. Extra time followed and Sam Newton/ Guy Branston scored from a set piece to put Posh back in the lead but again Ipswich equalised taking the game to penalties, though only the brilliance of Tyler stopped Ipswich from grabbing a winner. The penalties where a treat, with Newton, Holden, Carden and Arber being successful and Tyler saving one and Alex-son-of-Steve-yet-sacked-by-daddy-unlike-somone-I-could-mention-Bruce missing the vital one to lead Posh to a famous victory. The fantastic start to the season continues. Ole 21st August: Posh's cracking start to the season under Keith Alexander continues with a 3 -1 victory over what was a very poor Maccelsfield team. A sign of how much the team has improved can be found on the score sheet with Banjo Benji doubling his Posh career tally with a well taken brace and a comedy own goal providing the third. Next up a struggling bunch of carrot munching Tractor boys. An upset may be on the cards.....
In other news Dave will be pleased as Posh signed 22 year old, 12 year old look-a-likey Jimmy Ghaichem. Perhaps he'll join Jamie Day in the sand pit. Seven points out of nine: Posh's superb start of the season continues unabated with our very first win against the fat dib dob Steve Evan's Boston team. Ahh yes Boston, it has a place in America named after it, but here the locals are more likely to lose control of their bladders and pick a fight with you. Anyways, another goal from new boy Simon Yeo gave Posh the three points despite having Lloyd sent off for an elbow. Another battling performance against the highly fancied Wrexham team at the Racecourse ground saw Posh walk away with another point following a 0-0 draw. A decent turn out from the PLC, who saw a match which was low on chances and even lower in quality. Posh missed two good chances at the start of the second and the Banjo managed to hit the target but his effort was ruled out for an offside, though Wrexham missed the best chance of the game after a terrible mis-control from "Beefcake" Branston let in a Wrexham player who decided it was more fun to play crossbar challenge instead of football. The only other notable part of the game was a shocking challenge on Danny Crow who apparently left the stadium on crutches. Bugger. Still 7 point from 9 with just the single goal conceded in the first 3 matches represents a fantastic start for Keith and long may it continue. Posh pillage four past Pirates:

Ok so it may be a contrived title, but the feeling is the same. Posh managed to put in their best opening day performance in many a season with a first half goal blitz from Jamie Day, fresh out of Scout camp, new boys Butcher and Yeo adding debut goals and Lloyd Opara adding a well deserved fourth. Hopefully this is a sign to come for the upcoming season and that Dr Huxtable has managed to make this team click.
