Darragh MacAnthony believes the best has yet to come


The Peterborough United revolution under Darragh MacAnthony and Darren Ferguson has captured the imagination of football fans all over the country.  Internet message board have been swamped by supporters of Shrewsbury and Darlington praising Peterborough United's exciting style of football.

The Evening Telegraph has also received e-mails from fans of their League Two promotion rivals which claim that Peterborough United 'play the best football seen in League Two for years'.

Peterborough United took four valuable League Two points in four days from trips to Darlington and Shrewsbury.

Chairman Darragh MacAnthony added: "I was thrilled to bits with the performance at Shrewsbury, especially after what happened against them last season.

"I also felt that we were the better team at Darlington by a country mile.

"I felt results like these were coming as we have dominated so many games this season and yet ended up getting mugged.

"The manager now has pretty much a full squad to choose from with plenty of quality in all areas.

"It has been a slow start, but there is no need to panic and come the end of the season we will be at the top,” stated Darragh MacAnthony.

Darragh MacAnthony continues with, "In fact should we win our next two home games I am confident we will then be first or second.

"The football played by the teams at Shrewsbury was chalk and cheese with proper football coming out the winner.

"The manager and his staff have my full confidence and the best is yet to come in my opinion.

"I have seen some comments about the manager after we have lost a game, but we all need to be patient win or lose as the title is not decided in October.

"This is the best squad the club has had for years and we all need to be right behind them and the manager."

Posh boss Ferguson said: "It is great to hear that even opposition fans are enjoying watching us play.

"I will always produce footballing sides. I always played in teams that liked to pass the ball and that's how I will always want my teams to play.

"Plenty of footballing sides have won promotion from League Two."
