Peterborough United: Posh begin FA Cup journey against League Two Salford City
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.

Backs against the wall stuff from Salford now, they’re not getting out like they did in the first half.
55 mins 0-0
Such a well-worked free-kick Taylor, Burrows and EMC play a nice triangle on the edge of the box. EMC gets the ball on the left of the box in space but falls over as he strikes and it’s right into the top of the stand.

Yellow for Galbraith. Dives in on Jones as he pokes the ball past him. Free-kick on the left.
51 mins 0-0
Butler fires a cross into the hands of the keeper. It’s all Posh here but to say they look dangerous would be too much.
50 mins 0-0
Great play, Burrows slips in Marriott, its the centre of the box but he’s pulled down and the referee waves away the protests.
48 mins 0-0
Decent start Posh but Jones wastes a couple of openings by holding onto the ball too long and overhitting a looping cross.
