Match of the Day have this real nack of being able to find a good reason to put us on last every week which means we either don't get an analysis (because there advertising the syncronised swimming on grandstand next week) or we do but both Alan, Big Ears and Mark L fail to mention us at all. Now when the coverage shifted from ITV to BBC1 i was a happly little blue nose cause i though the bias was meant to change, and for a short while it did but it also didn't take long for it to rear it's ugly head again and i feel were almost back to square 1. What are your thoughts? |

yes they can't accept that Blues are top club again, there seems to be some snobbery there as well, Sullivan has never been accepted by the sporting elite, he tried to get into Racing before football, and was met with rejection, because of his porn roots... i am sure some still act against the blues because of that.... the new coverage on sky digital, when EVERY premsiership game gets 1 hrs highlights, (ie most of match) shown that night, is excellent.... but if u have not got access to that than Motd will have to suffice, and hopefully our performances will do all the talking and show them! |

Let's face it...the better we do...the more they will show of us. However I do believe that even if we were league champions we wouldnt get as much coverage as the london teams like Chelsea and Arsenal... |

spot on. I live in the east end and i can tell you that in itself is enough of a reason to hate the hammers! we should run a small sweep stake on the amount of times that Booby Moore gets mentioned on match of the day this season |

Who really cares? I kind of like the Millwall type attitude sometimes. We've never been liked by anyone else but ourselves so why do we suddenly need and crave the attention of the nation. Stuff MotD is what I say. As someone else has said, Sky do a much better job these days anyway. |

Just get yourselves Sky - Stuff the BBC - their ratings will drop like a stone. MOTD is just cr@p pundits who like the sound of their own voices - I bet if you timed the so called expert analysis, it'd give an extra 10 minutes action if they cut it out. Still it could be worse they could call on John Barnes or Andy Townsend for their expert??? opinions! |

For those people who can not afford Sky, MOTD is a lifeline though and that is the point. If you worked it out over the season, we probably had the lowest amount of time coverage on there. |

I was watching Premiership Years on Sky Sports 1 on Friday night. It was stuff from the season before last, our best for decades. We were hardly on. Never really mentioned and I was left wondering if we were actually a Premiership club or not. Last night they had last season's highlights on and the same happened again. They didn't mind showing us losing to Palace and Norwich through 3 dodgy penalties but there wasn't much else for us. As we progress and get better, we will command more air time. Let's just wait and see but they can't keep ignoring us. We'll have to win a cup or summat but they'll show us soon enough. |

The reason that we don't get shown much is because (like Boro, Fulham, Bolton, etc) we are of little interest to most people outside of our local area. That's the reality. By the way, as somebody that doesn't live in Brum & who doesn't have Sky, is "Blues World" any good ? I manage to see most home games live, but often don't even get the goals from the any games. Is it worth forking out for Blues World ? |

TBH I think it would be fair to put us on last on the first day as we are playing fulham and there are better games. I think we have the worst draw on the first day if u are a neutral! |

if you get sky you can have football first on sky sports one, which is better imo, becasue they show 50 mins of highlights and you dont have to wait for your team to come on, you just press red and click on the screen you want to watch, unless they are showing it on the chennal and you dont need to press red!!! i hope sky still have it for the season coming up!!! |

I've got NTL cable, but am going to have to get Sky aswell / instead, 'cos they don't have any interactive features even though I subscribe to sky sports. Can't just press the red button, which is pretty disgraceful really, 'cos they charge the same price!! :D :D Less than 2 weeks now!! See you at Fulham!!!!! :D :D |

id have to say sky is better imo, because to have the whole package i think its £41. and on sky spors news you can evern press red and read the lastest news, where as on ntl you cant do that, they said that they'll do it, but im still waiting, well my dad is. also on sky sports if your watching a footie game, you can press red and have player cam, were as ntl dont!!! |

The amount of times I fall asleep through their analysis of, for instance, charlton v fulham, and then miss the blues action really annoys me! |
