'Yorkshire' Post my a**e. daftpenguin, I have said this in the past and it obviously needs saying again. The YORKSHIRE EVENING POST. is NOT the same paper as the YORKSHIRE POST. The evening post is a L**ds paper and as such it comes up with biased articles to suit its readership. Look at it this way - how many pro- L**ds articles do you read in the Sheffield Star ? The YORKSHIRE POST covers football teams throughout our great county and generally has good coverage of Sheffield Wednesday......... Ps, I have no commercial interests in either paper. But I don't like to see the YORKSHIRE POST unfairly criticised for stuff printed in a different newspaper. Criticism is fine ,but make sure it is aimed in the right direction... .

Ever the pessimist Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 As above. Although the fact the Leeds paper calls itself the 'Yorkshire' something shows how Leeds has kind of appointed themselves as capital of all Yorkshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Yorks Owl Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 In fairness to the article our recent poor run of form and current lack of defenders,must raise some doubts about our promotion prospects. The Reading game feels huge now, but over the last couple of seasons we've often pulled out a result when we've really needed to. I desperately hope we do the business tomorrow, otherwise it really will be squeaky bum time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his predictions for last season he had us down to get relegated. So leave it at that. He's an absolute c0ck womble. Phil Hay supports Hearts. However, he's hardly going to print anti-Leeds stuff for his Leeds readership is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 He's entitled to his opinion. Carlos should stick that up on the dressing room wall for if we play Leeds in the playoffs so they can ram those words back down his throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have tried many times over the years to expand their readership to include other parts of yorkshire, but without much success. In part due to the heavily Leeds centric News coverage. A more accurate title would be the.... LEEDS EVENING POST.. Of course, properly speaking..... YORK is the capital of Yorkshire !.. Sheffield is "The Gateway to YORKSHIRE !"

Athelwulf Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'd say that's a fair appraisal. When was the last time we beat Derby at Hillsborough? I know, now's a good time to start you all say. Newcastle at home? Barnsley away, Winnallgate and all? When did we last beat Mick McCarthy? I've said eighth since before Xmas, so I'll take seventh. Bad news for Leeds, though, if we don't make the top 6. Because Carlos knows how to beat Wagner, but Wagner knows how to beat Leeds. If 'Udders stay in the play-offs = Leeds stay down, with 17K-a-week Wood off in the summer. Every cloud... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool £7 billion, Sheffield £9 billion, Leeds £50 billion, Manchester £90 billion, Birmingham £130 billion, London £900 billion. So Leeds is 5x wealthier than Sheffield, Manchester 10x so. Birmingham is as wealthy as thirteen Sheffields. We're the capital of nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 The Yorkshire Post, Calendar, Look North and the regional radio stations are all totally biased towards Leeds. It's pathetic that they seem to deem Leeds some beautiful haven amongst the rest of the plebs in Yorkshire. Apart from a few more nicer shops and bars Leeds is absolute shyte, just like most places in England. The wankathon when / if they get promoted will be cringeworthy.
