If anyone has seen the video online of Peterborough supporters fighting amongst themselves, the charmless Adrian Durham is blaming that on Wycombe fans…..
sorry about the disaster message yesterday I had a few too many beers and the defeat was a bit raw ,I should of kept off social media until the morning. Lesson learnt
Claiming Wycombe fans bought tickets in that top tier bit, presumably from Peterborough’s online sales. I’ve asked him what proof he has to make this claim and guess what….total silence from him.
I had a similar lack of response when I challenged him over things he said about Wycombe, Ainsworth and Bayo in particular during the famous lockdown season debate. He is up there with our friend Swann when it comes to contemptuous bitterness towards our club.
The bald bloke and younger bloke next to him look like they're doing some sort of fake WWF wrestling stuff. Managing not to land blows from yards off. Pure farce.
Then actually more worrying some lardy fella falls on someone down two rows of steps. Now that looks painful to be under.
Reminds me of turning round at a ground once and seeing two guys properly fighting and one of them bleeding from the face. Not always easy for stewards to get involved down narrow seating. And definitely not the kid stewards who most seem to be.
I don't like to be a social media grass but if he has seriously made those accusations someone at the club should formally challenge him that. He's an utter piece of work and this is totally baseless. Is this something @AlanCecil or @glasshalffull can nudge the club into calling him out on. He is ...ahem.. public figure after all.
If I knew exactly what he said/wrote and where/how it appeared and there is evidence that he was wrong I would certainly be happy to take it further. In the meantime I will copy and paste my response to his comments in 2020 to which he did not reply.
Adrian, your rant about Wycombe on TalkSport today has been pointed out to me. I would respectfully like to correct you on certain factual errors:
1) We didn't finish 8th, we finished 3rd in the final league table, irrespective of whether or not you agree with the way it was arrived at.
2) We were not on a 'terrible run'. In the 5 games before lockdown, we won 9 points, one fewer than your own team Peterborough.
3) Your statement that we 'would have finished mid table' is opinion, not fact. We were just 3pts behind 2nd place with a game in hand when the season was suspended and Gareth Ainsworth felt that we had a good chance of automatic promotion. Only his opinion, of course, but arguably just as valid as yours.
4) We spent more time in the top 3 than any other club and dropped out of the play off places only because we were due to play Bury on the final Saturday before lockdown and therefore had no game.
5) The chairman said that playing potentially 13 games with no income would seriously damage the club's finances. It was obviously far less damaging to play only 2/3 games.
An overwhelming majority of clubs felt the same way.
I won't comment on your remarks about Ainsworth and Akinfenwa and how you think Wycombe will fare in the Championship because you are entitled to your views, but as a broadcast journalist you have a duty not to confuse facts with opinions. Yours, Alan Parry.
It’s on his twitter page but someone more tekky than me would have to copy and paste or upload or whatever the correct jargon is as I’m a total novice at that lol.
Cyncial attempt at damage control from Peterborough fans because the viral clip of the day isn't them scoring the decisive goal or lifting the trophy, but instead a bunch of goons leathering seven bells out of each other and missing the winner. Just laugh at how pathetic and transparent it is and move on I reckon.
I think being sponsored by Waitrose made then go insane and decide they had to show they were a 'top firm' by putting some stickers on our sign and stealing a flag.

How is he spinning that??
Posh indeed.

Incredible
Dunno if you've ever been to Peterborough, but they have a very high backpfeifengesicht ratio.

Simultaneously exposing your attackers buttocks whilst kicking them in the head all from the prone position is quite a difficult technique to master.

I have the greatest respect for people who admit they were in the wrong so well done for this post.

Far be it from me to defend Swann, but I don't recall him making anything up about Wycombe? Durham clearly has.
That is absolutely bizarre.

Who is he?
Presenter in Talksport radio.
I should add that the police are investigating this matter and until further inquiries are completed it would be unwise to comment any further.
It’s on his twitter page but someone more tekky than me would have to copy and paste or upload or whatever the correct jargon is as I’m a total novice at that lol.
Is the police investigation for fighting, indecent exposure or both?!?
At least Mr Durham will be able to help them with their enquiries!!
I listened to TalkSport once. Never again.
TalkSport is boring. Constant waffle.
The club should approach Talk Sport to request a public apology for defamation of character of their fans from one of their contracted employees
Talk Sport! It's more like Talk Shite.

Where did a nice man like you learn a word like that... 😅
Every time I think my opinion of Reading fans has sunk as low as it can go, they manage to plumb new depths:

I'm not convinced that a "fan" account of a tik tok "influencer" called Luke Bennett is a particularly serious account.
