    Baka is our Heskey in games like this - probably won't score, but he has a part to play.

    I bet £1 that he'll call him at least two of the following: Clive Allen, Martin Allen, Paul Allen, Dave Allen, or Alan Alda.

    Sam McCallum

    I was never big on conspiracy theories, but the old Blair Adam's 49 game thing is always in the back of my mind, so I now believe them all.

    Video Goal of the Month Nominations | October

    I liked the slow-mo replay of the penalty the best. What a way to pad out the video.

    A little perspective

    We're 6th after more than a 3rd of the season. Lost 2 in 16, despite 4 red cards, countless injuries to key players, and reduced crowds. We play nice football, make chances, and never seem to give in. There are far more positives than negatives. Of course there are things that could be better...

    Match Thread Peterborough United vs Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 26th Oct

    I expect us to take a battering. The midweek win papers over the cracks. We've got a very young team, McFadz and Kelly aside, and I don't think we have the experience to deal with a Posh team who are, quite frankly, rampant at the moment. I predict a 4-0 stuffing.

    The apprentice 2019

    The contestants seem to get more arrogant each year. It's more enjoyable when you have a healthy mix of reasonable, normal people and a few ego-driven maniacs. This time around they all seem like they're off their nuts with narcissism. Going for extreme personalities is what killed Big Brother...

    Pretty sure John Salako had some operation involving a dead man's knee.

    Future Wage Investment

    I guess our best long-term hope re: sustainability is to get promoted, retain the bulk of the existing squad, pay a bit more in wages (I assume the players have wage rise / drop clauses in the contracts based on promotion and relegation) and accept an immediate relegation in exchange for the...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Doncaster Rovers Match Thread - Saturday 28th Sep

    I mentioned this in one of the match threads. I assume the pitch is watered to help our slick passing game, but our players (moreso than the opponents) seem to slip and slide several times a game. I assume it's something to do with the length of stud, and possibly a lack of experience of playing...
