Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony addressed critics during his Hard Truth podcast episode, calling Cambridge United fans and local media 'a cesspit' for their reactions to the club's poor form. The episode, titled 'Darragh answers his critics,' followed a week of social media disputes with Posh supporters and fans. MacAnthony claimed some fans and media members take pleasure in the club's defeats, while mocking anti-club agendas on social media. The full episode is available online. A sports editor countered that media criticism is inevitable after poor results, arguing that post-match reactions are natural for long-term supporters. The editor emphasized that journalists ask tough questions to provide hope to fans during losing streaks, particularly after a 16-match winless League One run. The piece also highlighted the disconnect between media positivity and club success, noting that coverage often shifts when teams perform well. The editor stressed that media outlets, including BBC Cambs, remain grateful for the club's achievements under MacAnthony's leadership while retaining the right to critique when necessary.
