After a year away, Posh are back in the FA Cup First Round.

Their last tie in the competition was the memorable tie against Manchester City in March but now Posh face the club owned by Manchester United’s ‘Class of 92’ and a billionaire from Singapore.

This means there may well be some famous faces in the crowd. Gary Neville may make an appearance himself, presumably keen to get back to football after proving no match for Ian Hislop in an ethical actual debate on Have I Got News For You last night.

Now the chances are coming. Ajiboye sends in a deep cross, Taylor takes a touch that sens him slightly wide, King goes flying off his line and makes a save with his legs Good chance

Now Salford have a chance, Watt sings in a free-kick from the tight. Free header Lund, puts it well wide.

There was the moment!
