The Premiership leaders eased through to the fourth round of the FA Cup, courtesy of two goals in each half. However, in spite of a decent outing for many of our fringe players, it wasn't all plain sailing against the Posh of Peterborough. Unfortunately John Terry got himself red carded in what is proving to be a damp squib of a season for our legendary captain. Otherwise, Pedro helped himself to the first and last goals in the proceedings. Could it be that Peterborough (and Bournemouth) have succeeded in making Pedro look good, or will he prove to be equally cosmic against Liverfools and Arsenic in a few weeks' time?
