Wasn't it because Brian Johnson was mates with someone high up at the club at the time?

Aye, the manager, John McGovern pictured with him in the first pic 

Club were skint so he got them in for a bit of fund raising

Peterborough really do have a knack of finding good forwards and selling them on for decent fees 

Incredible how many they have unearthed in last 10 or 15 years.  They seem to sell one every year then just replace them with another goalscorer nobody's heard of.   Mackail-Smith was the first I was aware of, what a player he was; Assombalonga, Dwight Gayle, Aaron McLean, Marriot, Ivan Toney, Clarke-Harris, Mason-Clark to name a few.

Barry Fry might come across as a bit of a clown but he's clearly got a great eye for spotting a centre forward.

... except himself.

He believed he was the replacement for Nat Lofthouse. Not sure he got that one right.

Why walk tomorrow?

See the game out, being professional. Think PP did something similar with us. Not my rumour. Part of me wants them to stay up as I think we will terrorise them!!!!

Rumours Jon Dahl Thomason is walking after Blackburn game tomorrow. Can’t wait to by pass those fucktards.

Apparently there was a routine Friday press conference which got delayed then the club instructed the media that Thomason epuld not, after all, attend. The spokesman said this was the Club's decision, not J-D T's

He signed 6 players this window.

No chance they are going down, look at the teams below them.  And they have the championship's top scorer, they'll get plenty wins.

Would love to play them next year. So I hope they stay up. 😊

A Derby game I would genuinely look forward to.

The likes of Accy, Morecambe, Fleetwood just feel so small time and (despite our decent record) prospects of a defeat to clubs like these loom large beforehand and a win is more of a relief.

Wigan games I just hate and Blackpool similar. That said I'd love to beat them both on our way up.

And then I'd look forward to Blackburn, Burnley and Preston with a lot more enthusiasm.

They're the top three Lancs derbies for me. The big city clubs who are nearby are bonuses and generally out of our orbit. Blackpool comes close to that bracket but not quite and I hate playing them. Wigan - others have articulated. 

When we start recording wins against Burnley, PNE and Blackburn then we really can say Bolton are back. And hopefully we can push on further from there.
