Not really sure what all this angst is about to be quite honest
Most of the media traffic centres around success and glamour - so in the football world that is the moneybags crowd (Citeh/CFC/Manure) and the next tier of established clubs with a history of success and henceforth large supporter base - Woolwich and Liverpool.
We are down on the next rung of the ladder, and henceforth get the airtime and press coverage that you would expect. Back in the 80's we were at the top of the tree and were in the papers all the time.
Now we just get articles about who we are selling off/hanging on to, or about who we have just failed to buy on the last day of any given transfer window.
Just accept the fact that we are not top drawer and therefore not sky 4 - as Joe says, its probably better that way.

What is he... just... what?
I'm pretty damn positive that idiot doesn't know what he's about to say until the words are spilling out of his mouth like some kind of verbal regurgitation of whatever stimuli he happened to witness that morning...
Tottenham... uh... points... top of the league... even for me... derp

He's right though actually. If we'd scored more goals and conceded less goals, we probably would be top.
This Merson guy might be on to something here!

No, we shouldn't be, simply because we aren't.
Not good enough to beat Stoke or Swansea or Liverpool or Leicester.
Unlucky we didn't get a draw instead of a loss against United.

Great potential smiley - call it the Sammy or Gibbsy
I think we're gonna have to write this week off in regards of ANY media coverage (not counting Merson's drunken ramblings of gushing positivity!!)
Its CL week, and obviously we're not involved... and even come Thursday there's the small matter of Jurgen Messiah's first home game... KOP HAILS KLOPP is gonna eclipse any coverage of any other team for the next week or so...
I expect our game to be shoehorned somewhere between the Syncronised Swimming results and the weather!
...and there was me hoping it was gonna be all '1984' references this week... they'll probably wheel out Graham Roberts and be done with it!

Media favouritism or what? According to Observer, EVERY Man Utd FA Cup game (including replays) has been televised in an unbroken run stretching back to 2005. They have just hit an unbroken sequence of 50 games televised. I know money talks, but that is just amazing....

I'm sure the next photo would have been RanieriWe are 2nd in the League and this is Sky!
I'd get annoyed by this, but I'm actually pretty happy that they are this blatant and indefensibly shit at covering us fairly. When anyone suggests that we're just imagining the bias, and that fans of any team think the same, kindly point them in the direction of this screenshot.We are 2nd in the League and this is Sky!
I mean fuck - how could anyone justify the omission of Poch in that image? There's even a space where you could fit him in.

Honestly, garbage like this makes me angrier. But apparently I'm not allowed to argue with it.

1997 points because I still count this as a 1-0 Spurs win.
Minus all the Fergie time, and its probably about 1950 pts
Welp. That's our season gone to shit then. Mother of all jinxes.
Aye and if we had beaten Wigan 1-0 instead of 9-1 and won eight games 1-0 we'd have won the league in 09/10 seemples
holy fuck we are 600 points behind Utd, thats like 8 or 9 seasons worth of points. We were so shit for so long.Sky Sports working overtime to come up with garbage statistics.
