Posh now have a boss who talks sense
Reaction to my latest columns ....
Re Spurs in the Champions League: No such thing as a travesty at Champions League level in my view. Turn off for five minutes and you will be punished. Spurs will hopefully learn from it.

Re Spurs, you snooze you lose. @soccerstarFA
Spurs were cruising, but didn’t put Juventus to the sword and at 1-1 they collapsed. Tension seeped out from the stands which may have played a part also.
@robzirpolo
West Ham fans have just had enough. They didn’t want to move grounds. The club they know has been destroyed.
@docgpalmer
I was at the West Ham match. It was dark day for the club. @MultifabMetals
It’s nice for Posh to have a manger who talks sense.
@pufc_lightning
Great win by the mighty Posh against Charlton, absolutely massive. What a performance by all the players who really looked up for the promotion push. Ten cup finals to go.
@DavePufc
Think it’s fair to say Posh fans have taken to Steve Evans. After all, like he says, he’s one of our own! @eddiedixon461
Quite a statement from Big Steve Evans in his first game.
@Blueboy
The referee was overawed by being at Old Trafford. He was appalling all game (v Liverpool). @poshfan69 Manchester City and Liverpool should pray they get Juventus in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. It would be like receiving a bye.
I’ve never heard so much nonsense during and after a game as was evident as Juve fluked their way past Spurs.
Juve’s coach Massimiliano Allegri (above) was feted as a tactical genius after the match, even though he set his side up so poorly Spurs should have been 3-0 up at the break at Wembley. Spurs suffered a collective breakdown for five minutes in both games and suffered, but to suggest this was the result of superior tactics was laughable. Juve are past it defensively. Georgio Chiellini & co were run ragged for an hour, a weakness City and Pool’s star-studded forward lines would expose.
SPITTING PUNDIT NEEDS AXING
As Team Sky are standing by their dubious cycling chief I guess the ultimate punishment handed out by Sky TV to suspended pundit Jamie Carragher for spitting at people won’t be too severe. It should be though. There’s little more despicable than spitting and Carragher (above) should be removed from our screens for good. In fact he should make that decision himself rather than begging to save his lucrative job.
THE MOST PASSIONATE DERBY
I’d love to watch a Celtic/Rangers match live. Is there a more passionate, derby game in world football? The standard is ropey, but who would have thought the Scottish title race would be more interesting than the English version.
