Love that! He really is a nasty piece of work and when I emailed him at the end of last season to politely point out that Wycombe got more Championship points than his team he replied with a barrage of insults about Wycombe and me personally. I have nothing against Peterborough but it would give me enormous pleasure to win today for that reason among many.
Just a few things that have happened since PPG-gate:
2 full seasons of football have been played
Peterborough have been promoted to the Championship
Peterborough have been relegated from the Championship
The England Woman’s team won the Euros
The England Men’s team made the final of the Euros
We’ve had a new Prime Minister
The USA have elected a new President
The USA pulled forces out of Afghanistan
Russia attacked Ukraine without provocation and initiated war
The Queen passed away
Yet Mr Swann continues to fire shots at the club from the safety of his computer, completely ignoring the fact that we didn’t choose our fate in 2020, and still had to overcome both Fleetwood (over 2 legs) and Oxford, being written off at the start of the playoffs in the same way we continue to be written off today.
Gareth uses these things to motivate his team so well, and I really hope he’s stored up some of Alan’s greatest hits material to show to the team before kick-off today.
Wouldn’t it be delightful if Mr Swann’s whining and unnecessary jibes over the last few years were a contributing factor in a Wycombe victory today?!
The bit that is really hard to understand with the other club's whinging about our position, was that we'd spent literally the whole rest of the season in the top 6, and despite having had a slight wobble, we were only outside the top 6 because we didn't play in the last round of fixtures, being a 23 team league that year.
Plus we did win the playoffs without any "help" too.
Hanlan back on the bench is great to see. He brings a different dynamic to our attack so I’m hoping he’ll be a regular starter when he’s got some minutes under his belt.

Pish's badge is surprisingly religious, I discovered.
And in 2020, St Peter denied Peterborough entry at the gates of the Championship
Any news on various injuries? Anyone in contention to return?
Alan Swann is still struggling to shake off a grudge
The remaining copies of the latest edition of The Wanderer will be on sale before today’s game. There’s not many left, so get in early!

It's ALAN VERSUS ALAN (in your best Xfactor voiceover voice)

I can only imagine that this is your highest "liked" post ever on here.
Really hope we absolutely rip them, and him a new one.
We're still early enough in the season for a simple 3 points to give us a real jump up the table too.

Hanlan on the bench 👏🏻
No gape, but no other changes to the 11
Hanlan back on the bench is big!
So good to have Hanlan back. I had Anis in the mystery injury sweep this week so I’m glad I lost.
For all the storm in a teacup about AP’s recent BFP article, I’d be really embarrassed if we had a local journalist who carried on like Alan Swann.
although I suspect that, like all local papers, the Peterborough Bugle is quickly become irrelevant, so maybe it keeps people reading.
Mustard!!! Lovely to see Hanlan back.

Surprised GMac didnt take the shot
Same here.
Rubbish turnout from the fans of massive club Peterborough
I sincerely hope the audio on Wanderers TV isn't plagued by the same bug as the PA system.
The VERY annoying "beat" being played is even more of an issue than the drummer
So poor from Vokes. Basically started their attack.
absolutely awful , Gareth tactics are clueless
That was feeble
Mawson on final-third throws is absolutely baffling, isn't it
Shame for Vokes, has had good touches so far then does that, but can't legislate 3 defenders standing off.
If we've not got a midfield that can defend, it's disappointing to not see us try to move it around quickly
Be alright if someone could get their head on it occasionally.
