Coventry go right up there with the best teams I've seen play at Posh season. Very loud fans too (spoiled by the Clarke-Harris song). This is the problem with only being good at home, there are going to be days when the opposition just play very well and deserve to win #pufc

Ronnie leaving has been inevitable for a while. It's the cycle of a club like Posh, no point being upset but it's always nice to feel a player has found a good fit. Exactly what Southampton under Martin feels like. Good luck to him He's going all the way... #pufc #SaintsFC
