Peterborough United fans generally accepted defeat at the hands of a classy Leeds United side in the third round of the FA Cup at the Weston Homes Stadium.

The Championship side won 3-0 and the result made many fans also wonder what life would be like should Posh win promotion from League One this season.

The PT asked Posh fans for an eight-word summary of the game plus a man of the match. There was a clear winner in our unofficial poll.
