Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat

I really hope we would not sell this close to deadline day now! We would be fucked and no chance of going up if we did!!

Rumour is back about Nahki to Posh. Believe it when I see it though.

Also, this guy is firmly on the radar

Chomps - what do Penisboro do with all the transfer loot each year?

You seem to flog £10 mills worth of players each year (to dopes like Olly), surely your annual losses/ overheads aren't that high     ....     or is Darragh into Charlie & brasses?

[Chompy]

Our crowds ain't great but Darragh still ploughs plenty of cash back in.

Our two strikers at the mo are both £1m+ players, and he splashed the best part of a mill on Jack Payne last month too, as well as turning down a chunk for Fatty Tomlin. Don't think our business is concluded yet either.

Peterborough are being a bit naughty aren't they?

[anthonyl]

Great job pboro, see you next season!

[Chompy]

It's beyond a shame that we were relegated last season. Had we stayed up and kept Gayle we'd be genuine play-off contenders this time round. We were from December onwards last season after all, but it's pretty hard to recover from losing the first seven, and 14 of the first 18.

This squad is the best I've ever seen and they're all coming to their peak now. It's just looking like a waste of a season tbh, and if we manage to keep Tommy Rowe and Tomlin this time, the chances are they'll be going next summer anyway.

Just a joke that Yeovil are in the Championship and effecitvely took our place. Gary Johnson set things back a good few months at London Road. Anti-karma ftw. Oh well, at least there's some easy money to be made puntering.

What on earth happened to Reading last night?  Were Peterboro just excellent, or is their something afoot at Reading?? 

[Chompy]

Reading looked bad. Adkins has changed their style completely and it didn't look good last night. Their fans are fumming on forums, with the usual stuff about 'shouldn't be losing to Peterborough'. Reading fans have always been pretty deluded, so quite pleasing to see them suffer.

Gorkkkssss and Mariappa were particularly bad. Apparently they're after Becchio and still fancy Alfie will be on his way.

Chomps - could there be some 'nice odds' in your next L/C game?

[Chompy]

Away at De Canio's nutty Mackems?

Lot of water to go under the bridge before then sir, think we're gonna have a busy final day of the transfer window on Monday.

Whoever gets Tommy Rowe, if anyone does, will suddenly show massive improvement.

All I'll say is that the game against Crawley could be the last time Rowe, Tomlin, Assombalonga and Barnett play together. Posh have scored 4+ in four of six games this season, and can be backed at around 6/1 to do the same again.

In other footballing news, I've spent all morning studying the Champions' League draw and have come to the conclusion that Napoli have wound up in a tough group.

Righto     .....      I'll lump on the 0-0 draw then!

[Chompy]

Creepies confirmed very deece. Poshies not at it today though. Am I literally the only League One fan on here? Where's all the Alex, Shrews, Tranmere fans?

[Teacake]

Pboro knocked back 3 bids for Tomlin today from Celtic!

[Chompy]

Yup, they went in with £1.2m, which was lol. Maybe quadruple it and they'd have been in the right ballpark.

Tomlin played the first half. Sort of. Then was subbed at half-time and spent the second half looking at his mobile.

Think this illustrates a problem with the Scotch transfer window closing on a Saturday.
