Peterborough United - Tuesday 21/10/08

With still no win since August, Brighton travelled to much-fancied Peterborough not expecting much. The Posh have spent big on quality players from non-league, and had scored in every single league game they had played so far in the season. London Road has been a happy hunting ground though for the Albion in recent years, with no defeat there in the last six visits, so the Crocs made the journey believing that if the luck could change, there was a good chance it would be against the Posh

 
Mode of Transport:
McCarthy made his way across the country from Cheltenham via car, while Witham maneuvered up from Portsmouth.
Team:
Micky selected the following in a 4-5-1 formation: Kuipers, Virgo, Elphick, Hawkins, Richards; Anyinsah, El-Abd, Savage, Thomson, McLeod; Murray.
Kit:
Peterborough's uniforms consisted of blue shirts with white trim, white shorts and white stockings. Brighton were in their second choice kits of yellow and navy blue stripes, navy shorts and navy socks. Michel chose to wear a green number with black and white trim, completed nicely with black shorts and socks.
Micky Adams Attire:
Mr Adams wore his standard issue blue training top coupled with black trousers and some stunning white snickers. In the second half, he countered the cold by donning a training jacket.
Weather:
Cold but clear.
Stadium Rating:
One of the few remaining proper terraces in English football is used to house away fans, with another being opposite it. And old school main stand is complimented nicely with a relatively modern two-tiered effort, giving the ground a modern yet nostalgic feel. 8/10
Food Rating:
Despite the burgers consisting of moisture, the food was decided to be of a good standard, with the lubricated penises being particularly pleasing. 7/10
Entertainment:
A man walking around the stadium in a top hat and cane, stemming from Peterborough's nickname The Posh. Genius. 9/10
Friendliness of Locals:
A few fans threw some homophobic abuse towards Robbie Savage as he exited the team vehicle, but generally pleasant. 6/10
Standard of Local Females
Whatever they put in the water in Peterborough should be put in the water elsewhere in the country. The finest selection of females seen outside of Yorkshire. 8/10
Steward Rating:
No stewards were encountered, and their fashion sense, combined with one who shared an unccany resemblance to Phil Mitchell means they put on a good show. 8/10
Flag Attention:
We were unable to gauge the attention of the flag as it is currently in Nottingham. Somewhere
Match Report:
Peterborough failed to score for the first time in the league this season, as Brighton came away with a somewhat fortunate point from London Road. The one time the ball was in the net, the referee ruled the Posh's goal out due to a foul in the build up, and after missing a succession of chances it was the Albion who would have come away the happier of the sides after a workmanlike performance
Thought of the Day:
The song of "Who's the fat cunt in the pink" to a Peterborough fan, who it transpired was infact a woman.
