    Burnsy did tweet that he thought City would have a cunning plan....

    Just hope he asks Steve Bruce post-match about it.

    You counted the first and last day. 1 am one day to 1 am the next day is one day not two days.

    If he signs officially at noon tomorrow, the 93 days would run out at noon on the 27th, so unless we can get them to hold the play-off final in the morning, he still wouldn't be available.

    The 93 days doesn't start at noon. The noon only relates to whether he can play that day.

    Presumably the loan started yesterday when the agreement was signed. It just needs to be lodged and approved by lunchtime tomorrow?

    I'm absolutely chuffed at this signing. Adds another attacking element to the team. Loads of people comparing him to Koren, am I the only person who thinks he could play a similar role to Aluko? Not so flashy but still creative and can get goals. I've seen Koren's role recently as an attempt at playing in Aluko's position and think Boyd is more suited for that than he is, hopefully Koren can move back into the midfield role he's better at.
    Koren's a better midfielder, Boyd's a better attacking player, imo.

    I don't see why you can't agree a loan in advance of the start date.

    I would have thought it was possible, but he couldn't play before the start date (obviously) and we wouldn't want him playing for Posh in the meantime in case he got injured.

    Edit - this would be academic anyway if you can break up the loan as has been suggested

    Apparently this morning at training the players were taking part in a shooting practice competition, Georgie Boyd won it, the person who told me this said that Boyd has a fantastic shot on him!

    The 2 week International Shutdown period does not count in the 93 days. So Boyd can play if needed.

    But we wont need the play offs imo.

    I saw my mate, the other day,
    I think I've found the white Pele.
    My mate said who, who is he?
    I told my mate he's George Boydy

    We Posh fans have known for a long time that George would, we are just grateful that we were able to hold
    on to him for so long.

    Seeing Cardiff and Hull 1 and 2 at the top of the table reminds me of the 'Great Escape' in 98 and how the old 3rd Div table looked -

    21 Cardiff City 46 5 13 5 27 22 4 10 9 21 30 48 52 &#8211;4 50
    22 Hull City 46 10 6 7 36 32 1 2 20 20 51 56 83 &#8211;27 41
    23 Brighton 46 3 10 10 21 34 3 7 13 17 32 38 66 &#8211;28 35
    24 Doncaster 46 3 3 17 14 48 1 5 17 16 65 30 113 &#8211;83 20

    How times have changed!
