Darren Ferguson's inconceivable departure from London Road is a sad indictment of the times. Chief among those feeling sympathy for the departed Scot will be another son of famous heritage, Nigel Clough. "A talented Dad doth not a talented son make" will be the mantra and just as Ferguson Junior's sterling work in shepherding Posh through the divisions will now be forgotten, so will those golden Click to continue reading...

According to reports Peterborough have sacked Darren Ferguson. We all know that managers jobs are hardly safe these days but I think this could be one of the worst football sackings I've seen, unless of course there is more to come out from it but I doubt it. I don't think Barry Fry (Posh's [...] Click to continue reading...

Chris Hughton claims that the team's focus was the key to Newcastle United's win over Peterborough yesterday. Cardiff lost away to derby rivals Swansea and West Brom managed to beat promotion hopefuls Leicester, which means a bit of a gap has opened up between the top 2 and the chasing back. After the game, Hughton said: "We have [. Click to continue reading...

Newcastle wanted to get off to a fast start this afternoon against Peterborough, and they did that thanks to the energetic good form of Argentine International Jonas Gutierrez. Jonas Gutierrez first goal for Newcastle great! The 26-year-old hit Newcastle's first goal after just 12 minutes, and it was the Argentine star's first ever goal for [. Click to continue reading...

The only slight disappointment in this game was that Newcastle couldn't get their 9th clean sheet of the season, after going 3-0 up just after the break. But we allowed Peterborough, who were a well beaten side, to score with just 10 minutes to go in the game, to make the score look even respectable for Peterborough, [. Click to continue reading...

! Article Start >Big spenders. To be frank, Peterborough squad are the 'Poundland' of the Championship. Promoted last year through the playoffs, some of the figures paid for Newcastle United players in recent times would pay for the whole Peterborough squad. They even make Scunthorpe look like Real Madrid. Click to continue reading...

On paper the game tomorrow against 2nd bottom Peterborough should be an easy game. But football games are not played on paper, and we've already learned that in the Championship that any side can raise their game on the day, especially when they play Newcastle. And the opposing team's play bears no resemblance to their league position [. Click to continue reading...

When Newcastle played Peterborough on 22nd September, we rested most of our first team squad, and started with 6 teenagers. Steve Harper - another super save form the local lad But when Peterborough deservedly won that game, there was not one word mentioning this on their club site report of the game, and nothing from manager Ferguson, [.

Among the performers who have lit up this burgeoning Championship campaign are some familiar names. Michael Chopra has so far justified every last dime of his weighty fee, Kevin Nolan has buckled down and rehabilitated his reputation as an all purpose midfielder-cum-forward, and Adam Johnson's sleek skills on the Middlesbrough wing have helped Smogheads forget the injured Stewart Downing. Click to continue reading...

Reports over the weekend linked former Boro favourite and now Peterborough forward George Boyd with a £6m move to Tottenham. Boyd has been arguably the Posh's best player in their first season in the Championship so far and his recent form is thought to have alerted Premier League clubs to making an offer.

Fans turn up wearing masks that don't feature Eric Cantona's face These Peterborough fans obviously worked out that the swine flu outbreak at Blackburn, plus the official warning that spitting is spreading the virus, and the fact that they could find themselves close to El-Hadji Diouf meant that they were at substantial risk of getting sick!

Mike Jones, the referee who incorrectly awarded Darren Bent's goal for Sunderland against Liverpool FC on Saturday, will not officiate in the Premier League this weekend.

Since I've had no football to watch I've naturally been mentally reviewing the season so far (as in reviewing it in my mind, rather than doing so with a mental illness!). Early though it is, I must admit I've got to concur with one of Billy's post-Peterborough comments. I couldn't find the quote, but he [.

Billy reckons our unsung players will make the difference but it's the glamour boys who made the headlines yesterday (and what a headline that is). BD praised our battling qualities, saying we couldn't play a passing game against Peterborough, but it didn't matter. Posh are scratching their heads at their start to [.

Ah, Peterborough. Just like Scunthorpe gave me nightmares, Peterborough brings back the most thrilling memories; some of the best I've ever experienced as a football fan. Those of you who were there, take a moment to reflect. Those who weren't, I'm sure you know the story. It's April in 1994, and a win at London Road [. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal have been handed a tough draw for the 4th round of the Carling Cup, as they will welcome Rafael Benitez's Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on either 27th or 28th October. It will be interesting to see wether Arsene Wenger will field his usual 'Cup Side' filled with youngsters against the Reds, or his first team stars. Click to continue reading...

Not being overly fond of flyovers and roundabouts and having already paid a visit some years ago to Peterborough's capacious Cathedral yard, I chose to indulge in my traditional pre-match entertainment last weekend in nearby Stamford.

Newcastle were beaten by Peterborough and dumped out of the Carling Cup last night. It's probably for the best given our small squad and the higher importance of the Championship but, despite such pragmatism, it still stings to lose.

Chris Hughton tried a brave experiment tonight by starting 6 teenagers and making a full 9 changes to the side that beat Plymouth on Saturday but it was all to no avail, as the team went down 2-0 away to Peterborough.
