Great season mate and quality signings!

Thanks mate. Cheers for following!


Thanks Sean pal.

2015: Play-off summary

He did it again! Jack Payne struck his second last ditch goal in this tie and oh how much it means to this club. His 86th minute strike meant we the tie finished 2-2 and was off to extra time. An unfortunate error from Birmingham's Garner looks as if it would put us through until the 116th minute when Nouble leveled the game once more! Extra time couldn't separate the teams and so it was to be decided on penalties. It was Posh who ended up victorious with a 7-6 win in the shootout.



PLAY-OFF FINAL:

Great Work Sam Well Done

Fantastic achievement Surprised to see Millwall in the final

Absolutely incredible end to the season, top work fella!

Top quality this pal! excellent work on back to back promotions! Mind you the Premier League is going to be so hard on you now!

Thanks for the comments lads!

Pre-season summary

Our first pre-season of the our Premier League era and it was decent. My first undefeated pre-season at Posh but we didn't really play anyone too challenging. Disappointed to draw with Brentford although a 3-1 victory over Serie A Sassuolo was pleasing enough. You may notice some new names among the goalscorers in these games. Of course I had a flutter in the transfer window.



As you can see I was given a huge transfer budget to play with as the club finances were impeccable following our play-off success, and.... I spent it all. I bolstered the squad in vital areas and brought in players which are good enough already but still have plenty of growth to come their way. Particularly happy with the signing of George Thorne for such a low fee, especially given his performances in pre-season. Elsewhere we brought in wonderkid Zakaria Bakkali for £12.5m which is quite a hefty fee but for a player is a position we desperately needed and such a huge talent, too. We managed to steal Mohamed Salah from Chelsea for far less than what they paid for him, he gives us something very different on the right flank. Our final deal saw German stopper Loris Karius join from Mainz for a cool £3.8m.

Great work on promotion a nice budget too mate!

Good luck in the Premier League.

Cheers George mate!


Thanks t-mase!

2015: 15th August - 19th December

We kicked off our Premier League era in style thumping Reading 4-1 with debutants Mohammed Salah and George Thorne both getting themselves on the scoresheet. A very good first game was marred by a horrible 3-0 defeat to a pretty mediocre Blackburn side in truth. The highlights of this period definitely being the 1-0 over Man City thanks to Harry Maguire late on and a very successful Capital One Cup campaign.



We're 7th! I have no idea how as we have certainly not shown form worthy of a place that high in the league. Oh well, I am not complaining one bit. Man United lead the way thus far but in truth the league is tight from top to bottom. Thrilled with our position at this point. I hate to be pessimistic but the form we have shown in the games I can very much see us sliding down the table fairly promptly.



Viva la Posh!

To even be 10 points clear of the drop zone is some achievement my friend. Keep it up.

Impressive start to your season in Premier League Hopefully your team can keep upsetting the odds and beat couple teams.

Great Position in the league and to be a 10 points clear already is really good keep it up

As everyone said, fantastic start to life in the Premier League pal!

Thanks for the comments there t-mase, Johno, Jamie and Dan!

Very few positives in this set of results. Apart from the 3-1 win over City in which our talisman George Thorne bossed the game, everything else was a bit of a disaster really. You'll see that in the final games of the season (which we were pasted in) there's a new scorer - Giovanni Simeone, son of Diego Simeone, for whom we paid £5m to River Plate in order to secure his services. Oh well, the first season in the Premier League was never going to be easy, the main thing was to survive.. so did we?



Of course we survived. We are Peterborough United. We finished down in 13th place which is a very respectable finish for our debut season, if you ask me. Chelsea won the league with Spurs not far behind. Spurs could've secure a memorable double as they managed to win the Champions League this season too, madness.



Some good news. Bit disappointed at how plain the name of the stadium is but I will get over it! Shows the board have faith in me and are as keen as I am to move this club onto the next level! As always, Viva la Posh!

Plan to run a separate career alongside this due to coming across a team which really caught my eye! Will post tonight
