If you can find a single reference to Brighton in this match report from The Times today (apart from the score), you're a better man/woman than me.

That 'match report' doesn't even involved United's contribution, in fact, it doesn't even feature the match!

Plus Wolves and Palace/Zaha always seem to get loads of favourable press.
Pundits and writers still banging on this weekend about “what an amazing job Nuno has done”. They’re FFP cheats in bed with a super agent, who’s delivered a very long list of top players from across Europe.
I’m not wound up by the lack of coverage for Brighton. Let’s be honest, we don’t play a brand of eye catching football, of wave after wave of attacks. I’m very happy with the progress of the club and look forward to all the winnable games that lie ahead. Our football happiness is not determined by getting attention from hacks, Lineker and pundits.

In the Times the day before they’d shockingly ignored Man U in this piece
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/...on-backs-glenn-murray-to-hit-target-0j9zh7dz7
Brighton get an astonishing amount of coverage (considering) - they’re 13th in the Prem , have won 7 games all season, have 1 England player, aren’t likely to be relegated or get into Europe and aren’t newly promoted. (Ie: out of the 20 teams they just aren’t that newsy).
Profiles, features in the broadsheets, interviews on Sky, football focus, prem league show, etc etc. There’s loads of em but yep not as many as the top 6 . Well blimey.
Always seems a bit odd to wonder why Man U etc get more or that the papers or MOTD for instance only started doing this type of coverage the other day. They didn’t.

The actual word Brighton doesn't appear once. Surely even you can see that that is a bit incredible?
I respect your pov and positivity, but this is staggering.

It’s not a match report.

It has the score at the start and the player ratings at the end. That is their match report.

I said to my son at the time ... if Rashford had scored the Andone (CP) goal, we would never have heard the end of it. Sky and BBC would show that clip forever.

Yes. But it’s in Monday’s paper and the papers, the sensible ones at least acknowledged that that by then the minute by minute stuff is best left to online/twitter etc. So they just do analysis instead , in this case Rashford under OGS.

Very low ratings for the Albion players compared to most of those posted on the thread here too.

Monday match reports are always an 'angle' on the game. I read one from the sun in the Sandwich shop today that was solskjaer this, Rashford that with little reference to Brighton.I expected little else.
Sky, however, describing Davys assist as 'a hopeful ball into the box' is really taking the piss.

Was I just hiding behind the sofa last year, praying we stayed up, or was the level of reporting just as shit then? I can't fathom how MOTD can be such poor quality, and Sky seems to be heading the same way.
'Big 6' stories sell papers , far more Utd fans around than Seagull fans and in the end its results that matter , had Utd been top of the table 5 points clear of City do you think Moanio would have been sacked ?
sadly money , or in this case sales=money , counts and Utd will earn the media more money than Albion can.
