Hopefully you'll hear us sing "we're f***ing brilliant" this afternoon on the radio and Seagulls Player. We'll be bouncing on the terrace.

Gonna be an entertaining game, no doubt. I reckon 3-2 (CMS, JFC & Buckley) with our final goal being in the last 10 minutes. Let's hope we put on a Saints style performance, and get themselves amped up with playing NUFC next week.

so much depends on whether the goings-on this week have united the players and created an element of resolve or whether they turn out in tired and lethargic mode.

hard to see that we won't concede which makes it even more important to start on the front foot and try to get ahead. JFC to play so we get someone ahead of the ball and let's zip it about instead of strolling........oh yeah, and none of that defending deep please! Not against Posh - it would be suicide!

If we set up right I can see a 2-1 win but if we try to defend and play it slow we could get hammered - there is no more dangerous team in the league to take advantage of defensive frailties.

What I am hoping for most is minimum bookings and no sendings off and a post-match report that talks positively about our football and nothing else!

Considering our dire away record so far I'd be happy with a point.
