    Grant McCann is expecting an entertaining encounter when Peterborough visit the KCOM Stadium this weekend.

    Hull City sit top of League One with six wins in seven, three points ahead of fourth-placed Posh, who have won their last four.

    The Tigers and Peterborough are the division’s fourth and joint-fifth highest scoring teams respectively.


    And McCann says supporters can expect to see plenty of attacking intent from both sides.

    “Peterborough want to be on the front foot and play attacking football – they’d rather win 4-3 than 1-0,” said McCann.

    “They’ve got a good front four there – people like Siriki Dembele, Jonson Clarke-Harris, Sammie Szmodics and Joe Ward are dangerous – but we’ve got players who can hurt them too.

    “I think it’s going to be a really open game because we’ll be similar. We want to be on the front foot and we want to be attacking.

    “Both teams want to play in the right way. Whoever takes their chances on the day will win the game.

    “It’s going to be a good footballing game.”

    The Tigers’ first three home games have been tight affairs, each won by a 1-0 scoreline, but McCann believes tomorrow’s match will be a more open contest.

    “The three home games we’ve had – Crewe, Plymouth and AFC Wimbledon – our opponents have sat back when we’ve had the ball and made it hard for us to break them down,” he added.

    ‘I don’t think this game is going to be like that – it’s not in the Peterborough DNA.

    “They’ll want to come and attack us and be really aggressive against us. Hopefully that opens up the game and we can hurt them at the other end.”

    The poll will close at 3:10 pm Saturday hehehehehehe

    A quirk of fixture setting sees 8 out of the current top 10 teams playing one of the other top 10 teams. Might be revealing:

    1 v 4
    3 v 2
    5 v 8
    6 v 14
    7 v 10
    9 v 21

    Peterborough is home to the oldest wheel in Britain.

    Katherine of Aragon is buried in the Cathedral.

    Holme Fen, 6 miles south of Peterborough, is the lowest point in Britian at 9 feet below sea level.

    Sir Henry Royce was from Peterborough.

    On May 24th, 1884, Peterborough became the first city in Canada with electric street lighting.

    Peterborough is home to one of the largest concentrations of Italian immigrants in the UK. More recently Peterborough had taken up to 80% of the 65,000 people who had arrived from the Baltic states.

    Peterborough is the largest town or city in the UK without any local radio of its own.

    "The Posh", a moniker was coined in 1921, after Pat Tirrell, manager of Fletton United, was reported to say he was "Looking for posh players for a posh new team".

    The original name of the town was Medeshamstede, “place of the spring by the river” run by the guy with the superb name of Sexwulf. It was also called Gildenburgh for some reason. Due to repeated raids by the Danes, stronger fortifications were built, which were called St Peter's Burgh, hence the name.

    Linguistically, yod-dropping is often heard from Peterborians, as in the rest of East Anglia, for example new as /nuː/.

    This should test some ages.

    If I remember rightly, he started off as a ventriloquist on the radio. He missed his vocation as a salesman.

    Little known fact, before his tv career Jeremy Beadle worked in the offices at Peterborough United.

    Hull hasn't got a radio station of its own unless you class HK Radio as a Hull one.

    Gone for the draw because I think one plan Terry will let us down. Their manager has said we usually play 4-3-3 so they'll know how to play us.
