    Iran & USA

    Come now. Childish? Take a moment to read what you just said, hardly a reasoned, thoughtful take on the issue. The significance of this is not lost. This was not like assassinating the head of a terrorist organisation, this was somebody at the heart of government in Iran. It was a very risky...

    Iran & USA

    Fair enough, but equally I don't recall them being labelled raving lunatics when they ordered the assasination of islamist targets in the past. You can call Trump a lot of things, not many of them nice, but war-monger isn't one of them. It was a reaction that many leading Democrats were calling...

    Iran & USA

    Iran has been attacking and seizing oil tankers, it has taken down drones, attacked Saudi oil plants, launched rocket attacks on US forces, and organised the storming of the US embassy. The US retaliated. Surprised? Soleimani was a monster behind the murder and rape of thousands, and most in...

    No planned incoming activity

    O'Hare Just wanted to type that to see if it auto-corrected to O'Hara, it's the only explanation I can think of for the repeated misspelling of his name. It didn't though, so perhaps my Huawei is just smarter than the average bear.

    Mark Robins

    And, we do/we don't, what's the point? Robins has had money to spend, we spent 800K the season before on Chaplin and Baka. But, he's also had to sell key players. He's doing a great job. Overachieving? Maybe if you're going to judge it solely on budget, but based on the squad we have? Possibly...

    Mark Robins

    It was Darragh MacAnthony. Barry Fry? This isn't the 90s. He revealed it, and it was reported in the local Peterborough press. Also listed on transfermarkt.co.uk and they don't show fees unless it is confirmed. You seem almost annoyed by the size of the fee?

    The owner of the club tweeted it out ffs. Are you OK?

    Mark Robins

    It's kind of irrelevant, the point was about wages really, because we know money spent of transfers will be negative. Godden was meant to be undisclosed, but the Peterborough chairman let it slip. It was 734K iirc.

    Mark Robins

    We have players on decent wages this season, and we've paid some quite hefty transfer fees in the past couple of years. Yes, they have been financed through player sales, so the net spend is negative, but if you're brining in the likes of Godden for 750K and players as highly rated as Allen, you...

    From the other side

    It was quite flat yesterday, as it was at Wycombe. Not sure the drum has anything to do with it though. There was one at Peterborough and I'd say that was the loudest we've been all season, although I have missed a couple of away games.

    Is this our year ?

    True, but they are still well placed. It was only a few weeks back we were near the bottom of the form table. I have a feeling they will come on strong towards the end of the season. Long way to go, but agree with above post, fancy ourselves, Oxford, Rotherham and Ipswich to be in the mix for...

    Rumour from the boardroom

    The last update I had was boxing day. I'm obviously doubtful myself now after being given the impression it was 'nailed on' for so long. A lesson in why you should never repeat these things in public! It is still possible for end of Jan I'm told, but there is a snag, but don't know what this is...

    Rumour from the boardroom

    I think he was making a comparison with the Mowbray season, which I think is a fair one. Around the new year/Xmas period that season we got 15.5K against Oldham, 17.7K for Port Vale, 15.5K for Walsall and 17.1K for Burton, in 4 consecutive games and the away followings from those teams wasn't...

    Happy Christmas one and all !!!

    Hope everyone has had a great day. Mine didn't start well, bought the eldest an ipad, which was stretching the budget massively, but she needs it for her design studies, she opens the box and there is shampoo inside, a rogue Amazon driver in the area apparently swapping stuff out. Was fuming...

    Villa Fans on the train - should be running our Trust

    Can't agree with this. Blackpool, Charlton etc were all united behind a common enemy. The problem we've had for years is that we can't even agree about who we should be protesting about and to. The whole thing is a convuluted mess. There have been a lot of protests, in our relegation season, we...

    Managed to avoid it, but it's very quiet here. Roost much quieter than normal, guess a few are stuck in it.

    Just clocked that. Bit of a departure for them.

    Bayliss?

    Seems odd they didn't ship him out on loan straight away considering they have no U23 side.

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    The frustration for me is that we are a good side, so why don't we put teams to the sword? Why, when we get our noses in front do we stop playing? Luton were ruthless in that sense last season. We can talk about the quality of our strikers, but there have been times when at 1-0 up we've barely...

    Listen To Me Just Hear Me Out

    That's fair, it was more of a general point I was making, which may have been a bit crude, which was in response those who appear to be trying to gloss over a very poor run of form with 'yeah, but we play nice stuff at times'.
