What's been happening off the pitch?

Away from the playing field, as usual there has been much happening at Posh.
Defender Tommy Williams’ page 3 model girlfriend failed to become a success in the jungle, and amazingly came across as an ever so slightly annoying Jordan wannabe, and her feud with pop star David Van Day was the most noticeable contribution she made to the ITV reality show.

Chairman Darragh MacAnthony felt it necessary to make it public the reasons behind releasing fan favourite Micah Hyde. Apparently a number of fans sent abusive e-mails to the man who just so happens to be best thing that has ever happened to the club. On a personal level I think it’s time certain fans learn to trust the people that we have in charge at the club. I may not have been around for as long as some Posh fans, but I can pretty confidently say that the club is in the best state it has ever been in. This is not only on the pitch, but with the entire management, and backroom staff.

Fans who do question decisions that are made at the club is fair enough, but when the club is in the middle of its best run for god knows how many years then surely it would be best to get behind the men who are the reason for this, e.g. Fergie and Darragh.

Fair enough Micah was a good player, I was a big fan myself, but we have some superb midfielders, Charlie Lee and Dean Keates are as committed as players get. Add to that Paul Coutts who has amazed everyone with his start to life at Peterborough, and Andrew Crofts who looks a good enough player, there is no real reason for fans to be too disappointed with the departure of Micah.

Peterborough are sitting in 4th in the league, and have a massive chance of a cup upset at a Premiership side in the 3rd round. Come on Posh fans...is there really any reason to be anything less than ecstatic at the moment?
