    Its true, isn't it? The media hate us.

    Goals on sunday this morning did not even show a highlight of the game. I was surprised as it was on sky last night. WE had the most unluckiest red card ever last night, according to Peter Begrie and others, so why did this not even get a mention on GOS? I am 100% sure that if this was west ham we would have seen the incident. We all know how much they love to review decisions on this programme but yet no mention.

    I did not watch The Football League Show last night and would like to hear how much they actually spoke about it and what time we where on?

    Does anyone else get the feeling that the media just don't like us, but they love West Ham and Brighton?

    Maybe because the show is called that for a reason - it shows goals! <doh>

    How can you say the media hate you considering how many times you've been match of the day on The Football League Show?

    We had plenty of coverage on FL show - so many games were off, they showed decent highlights of 4 matches including ours. Considering there weren't any goals, it was fairly positive coverage.

    I'm amazed they even showed highlights of our game on TFLS yesterday - and especially as the third game. For a highlights show, you need some sort of highlights. A flicked header wide, a shot from outside the box saved, and a late red card. Hardly worth showing.

    Sorry mate, but honestly, you really are writing utter twaddle here. Every supporter, from every club probably has felt the same at some point or another. Actually, Saints have been getting some pretty good TV match highlight coverage this season, for the simple fact that they have been top, or near the top of the Championship. I expected little or no coverage from the game against Birmingham, yet there were many more snow obscured minutes than I could reasonably have asked for.

    And actually, thinking about it, you're criticising Sky for not showing highlights of a match which Sky themselves showed live! If the media hated us, why would they have selected our game for television coverage?!!!!

    If they played that match to inmates at Guantanamo bay they would beg to bring back water boarding

    I think the media have been very good to us this year!

    They've bought into West Ham vs Saints and Cardiff coming up on the rails waiting for one of us to majorly fall.

    I don't think they hate us at all.

    Yesterday's game had very few highlights so understandable that they'd spend more time on the other games.

    Plus the BBC are televising two of our games live this season. They only do 10 games in total so that's obviously more than our fair share.

    Lol, you're a bit dense here I think. We've had so much media coverage that you're prob just getting upset that we were failed to be mentioned on this one occasion!

    compare it to how much they love you, and you'll see that there is a definite bias.
