    Ipswich were deserved winners.
    They have such a good balance for this league - pace, power, physicality, height, tenacity, a command of the dark arts, but also the capability of playing some good, fast, attacking football.
    They are what Rotherham under Warne might have been if he’d had a bigger budget.
    I can understand the disappointment. It’s an awful run we’re on. But I don’t think there’s much point digging into Warne or the team.
    We are evidently still a work in progress.

    Lovely idea.
    We should line them up and then PW and RB can have alternate picks for the first eleven.
    The weedy ones and the wheezy ones can put the cones out.

    Hated it less because I like Lewis more than Max/Horner
    But you need two teams to tango otherwise it's even less exciting than who's gonna win the PL hype every football season. 
    Max first world title was exciting. Last year was just boring and this year is gonna be even worse. He'll win em all unless something out of his control stops him. With his talent and that car I don't think he'll even break a sweat.

    Feeling low. My mate just fessed up about his chronic viagra addiction. I should've been more supportive but no one's taken it harder than his wife.

    We want Cooper to stay in place until at least the end of the season. They are bottom of the form table and dropping like a stone. Don't want any kind of new manager bounce over there

    We used to have a striker called Chris Martin. He wasn’t quick or big but he had a great brain and a lovely pair of feet. We played the ball into said feet and he would reverse it, or dink it or hold it, or flick it for runners to score. It all looked so simple. Too simple. James Collins doesn’t do any of that. Nor does he score.

    Hey lads,
    Posh fan here. Just wanted to chip in as have seen some interesting comments on this thread.
    I’ll start with saying that in the first half you absolutely played us off the pitch. Most dominant performance from the opposition I’ve seen since forever probably. And I saw us ship 4 against Blackburn away in the first half last season! I was actually taken aback which is a rare thing at this level. Which begs the question are your forwards the issue? I thought Derby were quite powderpuff up front at Pride Park - we just couldn’t hang on with 10 men after a bad sub from our former manager. Same in this game despite playing us off the park. 
    Second half - looking on this forum and Derby Twitter a lot of you seemed to have admitted defeat going into HT at 0-0 which was quite puzzling to us given what we saw from you. Why do you think this is a common thing with you? We had the same habit last season and ultimately got us relegated (especially in last 10 minutes). We’ve won 20 but lost 15 so we’re unpredictable.
    I saw someone mention earlier going to the Royce pub and they thought it was a nice coincidence. Sir Henry Royce of Rolls-Royce was from Peterborough (Alwalton). Nice little fact for you. 
     
    As for the ‘Peterborough being a dump’ comments, you’ll rarely find a Peterborian that would disagree with you. The irony of our nickname isn’t lost on us! The identity comments are interesting too - you’ll find Peterborough fans that sound completely different. We get a lot of support from South Lincs/Rutland/Northants. As soon as you go East of Peterborough it becomes Fenny (comboyn ‘arvisturr’). Then you’ve got the ‘London overspill’ descendants that follow us. The “only club where the home fans will sing Peterborough is a s******* I want to go home” comment on here made me laugh - it doesn’t get sung but a lot of our support is from outside of the city. So you’re not far wrong.
     
    I’ll wrap up with advice for future visits. If you go to Drapers (the Spoons) you’re going to get herded to the ground probably. Same thing happens with Cambridge/Northampton/Leicester/Forest etc. Brewery Tap is popular (across the station). Multiple on Oundle Road as well leading to the ground. Charters (the barge on the Nene) a fan favourite as well - just buy multiple at a time as it gets packed.
    Interesting to read your thoughts. You definitely seem a more intelligent bunch than Forest fans haha.
    Good luck for the rest of the season.
