Although very used to this level of media bias, I listen to talkSport for several hours a day to get the most biased coverage, but it will continue to irritate me on a daily basis.
Suck it up and lets get on with what we do....."We March On"
 
There will be decent coverage for this tomorrow....if Sunderland win...on the lines of will this turn their season around. Do have to point out that, although we get poor match coverage, we do get spreads on our team as a whole in some papers...been one recently in The Telegraph.
 
Does it really matter? We aren't a particularly well supported club in comparison to others and newspapers are there to sell copies. Plus our game tonight is not exactly big news for anyone apart from Saints/Sunderland fans.

Indeed we do, in the quality press, the Telegraph, the Guardian, the Observer, etc.... Chiefly along the lines of how do they do it? But nevertheless, the coverage is there from them. The gutter press pretty much don't give a toss if there's a bigger story in town. And invariably they'll find one, whether it is Rooney picking his nose and surprisingly finding brain matter or Klipp-Klopp jumping out of his technical area with another over-the-top gesture. Neither of whom necessarily need a game to preview to get a few extra lines. Newspapers talk nobly about the public interest but they often don't report proper news, especially the sports departments. And they are not public servants.

To be fair to a neutral our game is certainly the least interesting. We'll just keep on going under the radar...

Noooo it's all a big conspiracy, the media hate us because!!!!!

Is everyone ignoring the over top fawning that we've since Pochettino? We're the media darlings, but for some reason people seem to think we should be the talking point of every discussion related to the Premier League.

For some perspective, if you look at certain websites hits, Southampton articles will receive literally 10% and under of the hits of the big 6.
My friend writes for Bleacher Report, their team stream app has ten times more united subscriptions than Southampton, for example. The sad thing is that we are of no interest to most!

Exactly, someone on here was arguing that if you add up all the fans of other clubs outside the top 6 it would be more than the top 6, I really don't think it would be. I'd even go as far to say that just Utd/Real Madrid/Barca fans globally would outnumber the total of all the clubs outside the top 6, hence why the media focus more on them. And as I said, does it really matter?
