As a weekly traveller from Leeds to London, I notice when the train stops at Peterborough, the people who get on it are just about anything other than posh.
They are the most depressed downtrodden folk seen this side of the Pennines as they scramble about trying to get the last remaining seat in their nylon suits with their lap-top bags flying through the air.
Far from hating Leeds as you say – I would say judging from the expressions of your readers they are too depressed about living in the shadow of St Albans to worry about cities up North.
Malcolm PearceYOUR 10 reasons why Posh can beat Leeds is a tardy and disrespectful piece of journalism. Leeds are still a great club as can be seen by the numbers who support the club.
I say enjoy the experience of playing Leeds because in a couple of years time Leeds and Peterborough will be in very contrasting divisions.
While you can have your bit of fun now remember cream always rises to the top.
Clive TownsleyARE they coming to take you away?
Not sure which planet you're from, but obviously not this one, nor do you have any clue of the footballing world or League One this year based on fact or current performance.
I hope this was a joke as it smells of arrogance and ignorance.

Leeds and proudYOU are just jealous, why else would you post up that article?
Thank you for providing my team with motivation to crush you Posh boys who are punching so far above your weight.
Gareth WrightNINE wins, 30 goals – not a bad start
Beckford, Becchio and Robinson with 21 goals between them so how do Peterborough propose to contain them with a poor defence?
Leeds will boss the midfield with Douglas/Delph and Kilkenny.
1-4 to the mighty whites.

WELL done. If ever there was an article to inspire the Leeds team you have penned it.
Stephen DobsonIF you are the chief sports writer I dread to think what your sub-ordinates are like. Rarely have I read a match report that was so biased and full of inaccuracies.
What really annoyed me were your comments about the club being the most hated outside Milton Keynes. Are they? Ask Rotherham fans for example.
Then the dig at the stadium and the stupid remarks about the roundabouts and concrete cows.
The cows were a gift from a Canadian planner/architect some 30 years ago because he liked Milton Keynes so much.
And as all Milton Keynes residents will tell you, we love our roundabouts because they keep the traffic flowing fast and freely – much better than traffic lights.
One thing you never mentioned in your report was that while the penalty was technically correct our goalkeeper was lying spread- eagled on the edge of the penalty area.
Most teams would have put the ball out of play in that situation.
