All your achievements this season mean you have achieved League One football next year - well done. As for football achievements - more seasons in the championship with a higher position secured. Still take your salty tears and jog on back to your large catchment area. And this this and this finally ALL OF YOU FIND ONE MINUTAE POINT TO BOAST OF I CANT WAIT TO HEAR THE CHANT SOMETIME AT LONDON ROAD.. MORE SEASONS..IN THE CHAMPION..SHIP, MORE SEASONS IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. Doesn't sound like 5-0 on your big day out though does it Don’t suppose there are any English teachers on this thread that could provide 1-2-1 support?

No coping mechanism needed. We're in a damn good place. We own our ground and the fans have a golden share, we are owned by a fan who stood on the terraces, we're investing heavily in the right places, double digit percentage increases in attendance year on year, we've enjoyed 2 promotions and significant fa cup runs in the last 10 years. Above everything though, we're not you - a club riddled with oddballs and weirdos, fraudsters and abusers. No, but to be fair we have Brophy and they don't....

Not sure suicide is something to joke about, take lightly or use as ammunition against your rivals. Leave 'suicide banter' out of it, please.

Yes, I 100% believe that's the case because Ferguson is that kind of character. B est of all you actually still had a chance to get automatic promotion. You can't ignore the fact that was the game that suddenly broken what was an immense run. I see Social Media getting excited about the youngest team in the division ....should be fit enough to cope with that schedule. Mathematically maybe but in reality they didn't. A few results to go their way AND it would have needed Derby to have lost at home to Carlisle which was not going to happen. Can't remember GD but IIRC it may have needed a decent Boro win AND a decent Carlisle win. I really don't get the issue many have on dropping players, football is full of what ifs but what if two of their best players had got injured or suspended v Cheltenham, or by not having extra recovery time, a few were at 80% rather than 95% fitness after a long season. If we had been in their position I would have supported resting Andrew, Digby, Cousins, Ahadme etc... Would Barnsley have been much easier - they only lost 5-4 to a very good Bolton side? You're absolutely right, it was only a mathematical chance and unlikely, but Carlisle winning at Derby wasn't out of the question. We all know never to expect to win! The point I made at the time is that whilst you're right, we can only control our own results, so what they do is irrelevant, however changing their entire team, that had won 5 out of the previous 6, would damage their momentum. Only the fitness staff at Peterborough know how essential it was for recovery, but the facts are they lost that game, then drew, then lost, then drew, so ended up with no wins in 4 at the end of the season. I have absolutely no doubt that Ferguson felt his support would have found it great if by losing to Cheltenham, in a game with their strongest team you would expect them to win, they caused us harm. He's shown enough in his character over the years to evidence that. I think the risk of injury/suspension is so overplayed. Injuries seem to happen more regularly in training than in matches - I'm sure there is stats on it somewhere, but injuries don't happen that often in key matches.

But if you change the team and bring back the rested players next game, don't they still have momentum? So if we had won 5 on the spin, had dropped our first team and played people like Janneh, May, Jubs, Lancaster etc... and lost, then bought back the first team for next game, they still have momentum?

At no point was the fate of both burton and cambridge out of your own hands despite us losing at Cheltenham. This faux narrative is a petty stick to beat a club you don't like with. So not only would we have to throw the match, we had to let you also do the work of losing. Bit of a long shot for zero gain. Let's be honest, posh players and staff don't give a shot about rivalry or getting cambridge relegated, unless it was a you or us scenario. the exception maybe Harrison Burrows. The fans care. Mark Bonner cared. Neil Harris didn't. Nor the latest incumbent. Makes sense.

The day I know there's a single football comparison that cambridge can claim to be better than is the day i won't return. Challenge accepted... Our record in the second division of the pyramid: - Eight seasons - Two relegations (one 24th, one 22nd) - Highest position during a season: Top (five weeks) - Highest finishing position 5th (lost in the play-off semi-finals) - Total matches played 344: W - 103 D - 104 L - 137 Points - 413 - Points per game: 1.20 Yours: - Six seasons - Four relegations (two 24th, two 22nd) - Highest position during a season: 8th (one game) - Highest finishing position: 10th - Total matches played 276: W - 69 D - 67 L - 140 Points - 274 - Points per game: 0.99 I trust you will now absent yourself as promised? Its bottom tier level of one upmanship but a fact noneless. Before I go a quick prediction You will get relegated next season. we will take four points off you. We will finish 8th to 10th.

Love our rivalry. I’ve joined in my fair share of fat baz chants and enjoy seeing the odd fan blow a gasket on a forum, but in honesty I enjoy being in the same league, enjoy listening to Barry Fry as he’s a really interesting old school football man, and wish my mates well (hidden by the odd jibe) when they head off to London road in blue. We had too long looking up the leagues and missing the rivalry. Naturally I want to end up above them, but the likelihood is low, but I’ll enjoy the chance to 6 points off them next season, and enjoy the same league while it lasts 👍

I wetting myself at this self inflcting sado masochist. What sane person, straight after being dumped from the playoffs, goes on the rivals forum to read the glee and laughing going on. Mate, go and do what the rest of you inbreds done....have a few beers, start a fight and **** your sister!

So if we had won 5 on the spin, had dropped our first team and played people like Janneh, May, Jubs, Lancaster etc... and lost, then bought back the first team for next game, they still have momentum? I get what you're saying, but it wasn't the whole team they changed. Football is no different to many walks of life, it's about habits and repeated behaviors, therefore players had to adapt to new players for one game, then re-adapt for the following game. If I recall, they were 2-0 down at home after 10 mins against Bolton which arguably strengthens my point (accepting that maybe they retrieved momentum by the second half given the result) Ultimately, it's impossible to know whether my theory is right, or whether so many of the Boro players were in the injury danger zone for the Cheltenham game, but I would always rather keep the team consistent going into a play off campaign and take the risk that brings with it in terms of injuries etc. Given they didn't even make the final, it does make them open to criticism on this point that wouldn't be there if they hadn't changed things so drastically 2 weeks before the play off game. And as for Ferguson...if he wanted to protect his players, why play a virtually full strength team against Bolton? They were certain to finish 4th, and surely there was a risk that their direct rivals for promotion could do something to deliberately injure key players?

The facts You are still in League 1, as are we. I'd be more worried about criticizing your manager for taking the risk of changing the team 10 days before a play off match than trying to bait us when we're cock a hoop that yet again your club has given it the biggun only to fail miserably
