has just said on 5live that the Premier League needs a team from Yorkshire....... 'like Sheffield United or Leeds' -!!! What a complete ****er that man is!
Pretty sure he was coming out with similar stuff last time we were in the Prem. He fawns over Leeds whenever he can. His ignorance in this matter aside, he is an absolute toad of a ****.
Think he means one from the cloth cap and whippet belt, and which loses a lot. No luck there then, Alan.
Obviously he's a **** but I'd be happy to see Sheff W and U, Barnsley Bradford Leeds Boro all in the prem with us. Below us obviously. Easier to get to, cheaper and more rivalries. Cant see it happening for many a year mind.

Heh if he'd said anything nice about CTWD, you'd all be fawning over him. Most of the country don't know we're in the East Riding. Those that have heard of the ER don't think of it as "proper" Yorkshire. Actually, Geordies and the like don't see us as being in the North East. Almost noone outside of the county could point to where we are on a map. There's an M25, Londonmediacentric conspiracy against us. This seems more appropriate: [video=youtube;BRzhflMkGLg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRzhflMkGLg[/video]
Anyone other than Green I'd have probably gone 'oh well another ignorant sod' but he's such an opinionated little bag of s**t that my blood pressure was on the rise even before he came out with that particular gem!!
What gets me about Green is that he is so quick to criticise others for not doing their job well (players, managers, refs) - but he does NOTHING about his own weaknesses as a commentator. Any commentator worth their salt should make an effort to learn how to pronounce foreign names correctly, but he makes no effort to do so. The next time he criticises a player for, say, not working on his weaker foot, he should recognise that this is exactly what he has failed to address about his own shortcomings. In short, he's an arrogant ****.
there are perhaps less "scarecrows" these day and maybe a few more "headscarved wives", however still fresh and near.. read by Sir Tom Courteney, he of Bill Liar legend, "London's a very big place Mr Shadrack.."
Pish? Careful, you'll have DMD creating more drama over Scotch (sic) words. My point is valid though, there's a victim mentality we see time and time again, especially in regards to the media. Seriously, the majority of the rest of the country don't know the stuff we insist they know. Even the stuff we're incredibly proud of. How can they not know this stuff seems to be the reaction. Much like people from every where knowing about everywhere else. You know what's on your doorstep, you learn more as/if you move around and for better or worse, Hull isn't a place you learn about, or go through. You either go to it for a reason, or you don't go there. Plus of course, some "pundits" in the media are just ****. We even have Gwilym for ourselves.
i was looking in a "go yorkshire" booklet this morning while up in Richmond , Scunny and Grimsby were included in the voucher map , while Middlesboro wasn't . I thought it a bit weird
