I’ve been fuming since last Friday, thought we’d thrown our chance away big time.
When we kicked off I was thinking if we could get a goal in the first 10mins you never know. Smith calmly put the pen away.
I then thought if we can get a second before half time and it duly arrived.
Must admit I got greedy and wanted a third to make a game of the second half, instead we scored in that half but with plenty of time left to really make the dream come true.
As the game wore on I thought it was going to be an admirable effort but we’d just fall short, 6 mins of added time came up, the 6 mins expired, my lad turned to me and said it’s not going to happen, I said there’ll be a little bit longer yet as their players had been going down like flies, up stepped Palmer with the latest of late goals, euphoria.
Extra time I wanted us to win it, couldn’t face the thought of pens, a harsh (I thought) free kick but Posh back in front with an OG that would have been so cruel on Gregory, after getting back to 4-4 surely we couldn’t do it again, Pato 5-5, penalties didn’t seem quite as bad now.
Full time, nerves shredding but 5 beautifully taken penalties later and one of the best comebacks in football history was done.
Incredible.
