Current form: "I've been a Posh fan for 18 years.
"I go in the London Road end and have had a season ticket for the last 14 years. I go with a group of five or six friends.

"The first game I remember watching was when my Dad took me against Cardiff City in 1990 when I was eight years old.

Cardiff fans where running after Paul Culpin when he scored down the touchline. We won and i had to go back again.

"I watch about 75 per cent of the games."



Pre-match: "We set at 10.30am just in case the M25 'car park' was busy. It was my week to drive and I just about decided to let Nilesh Patel come after he missed last week's 7-0 win.

"We arrived about 12.40pm, then met up with some Royal Oak lads in the George Pub."

Half-time report: Perfect, we scored early and took control of the game so there was no upset was on the cards.

"If it hadn't been for the goalie we would have had six by half-time.

"Micah Hyde controlled the midfield and precise passing opened up their back four every time."

BEST SONG: I joined in with the 'Posh We Are' song, there was also some comedy 'singing in the rain' songs at half-time.

"The Posh support was great from start to finish. The whole club is on a high at the moment and everybody loves the cup as you are waiting for a big draw in the Third Round."

Full-time report: "Another professional performance and we could have had a lot more than five but I have heard a certain person was happy as a 50-1 online bet at £10 was heard to be had (then drank the winnings in the pub at home.

"We deserved to win as we where professional and kept passing the ball and wanting to score every minute.

"Charlie lee bossed the midfield. He was first to the ball and set the tone of the game. Craig Mackil-Smith could have had six on his own."

What would you have been doing if you hadn't been to the game? "I would have been playing golf then watching the footie scores afterwards at the 19th hole."
