Peterborough 2-1 Barnsley, Tuesday 1st January 2013

This week's match report shall be small but perfectly formed.

Apparently we controlled the game, had most of the possession...and created little.  Apparently Dagnall hit the post.  But I missed that, I was having a  p***.  This was a 3rd division fixture a year in advance.  While hope has just gone over the hill (no pun intended), at least one of us, Washday, Posh and Bristol City will stay up.  Is there any way WE can be that awful team wot stays up?  Cos someone has to.  It should be like Masterchef:  If Greg and Michel are particularly unimpressed with the contestants, they won't put anyone through to the next stage.  All 4 of this bunch should be relegated, they really are s***.  And we are the s***est of the s***.

*** Harewood.  Came on for 15 minutes, scored, looked different class to the rest.  Oh dear.
** Dagnall.  Ran around alot.
* O'Brien.  Ran around alot.

Despatches:  Awful defending for their 2 goals - but you knew that already.  A poor away turnout too, tho decent atmosphere, of course.  Next season we'll be standing on a few more terraces, hey ho.

Our goal was odd.  Harewood buried it, but the linesman seemed determined to chalk it off.  Foul?  Offside?  No idea, but after a minute of conversation with the ref, it was allowed to stand.  Thankfully, there was still enough time to grant Posh a winner, which we duly did in the 87th minute.

We bumped into Greening again at the station.  I thought he sat on the bench very well today.  Tim blagged a(nother) set of player's boots.  He thinks an autographed pair of Jonathan Greening's Nikes will be worth something in years to come.  As ever, we were very diplomatic with our questions, but what must Greening think, not good enough to get into THIS Barnsley side?  Still, we must pay some poor wages, judging by Greening's kit bag - a black bin liner.

Fell asleep not once, not twice, but thrice today.  This is what happens when you stay up all night drinking.  Well, it does at my age.  After being up all night partying, I fell asleep on the bus home and missed my stop, so had to go without a shower.  Fell asleep on the train from P'boro (cheers Andy, for the flattering photo), then fell asleep on bus back home and had to walk back from the wrong side of Brixton (is there a right side?).  At least I woke up before the end of the line, for once.

According to the BBC website 'Flitcroft would consider Reds job'.  Sorry, Gaz, you have to share the blame (with Hill) for where we are.  Goodbye and good riddance.  Happy New Year.
