No.

It was a loaded question.

A loaded question is a trick question, which presupposes at least one unverified assumption that the person/persons being questioned is likely to disagree with......




"A common view of City fans online is that they’re militant and abusive. I’ve found a lot who aren’t and may do an article on what they have to say. That would probably paint City fans in a good light. That's a bad thing now is it?"

This is so obvious as to be puerile.

Where do you even begin? The answer is you don't.

Lee is just a bad faith actor and he's not alone in his debased profession. I don't know whether as he's as stupid as he appears, he may be faking it on the assumption that City fans are as dumb as dog biscuits.

Either way he can f**k off.

So he's now blaming Bluemooners with nothing to do all day? Does poor Eccles Blue fall into this category?
Lee thinks he is 'not the bad guy'. I think he is an out and out nasty twat who is not fit for purpose covering City in a pretentious journal that claims to be fair.

The whole issue is in total bad faith. What is the point of producing a news item about the apparent reaction of a football club's fans to media stories about their club? Given that at least 95 per cent of people don't even use Twitter it is not valid journalism. The Athletic has lost its way entirely if this is the sort of content it is providing. He says the "common view of City fans online is they are abusive." Whose common view? The view of his pals in the newsroom or the press box? He seems to be going out of his way to alienate potential customers for his publication. This never ends well.
 
To be honest, I don't care about them or their views anymore. Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining. I'll watch my team and support them as I have always done, 3rd Div or PL. If someone wants to have a credible conversation, fine - if Martin Samuels wants to criticise us - fine - I'll listen. Otherwise, I'm not going to enable someone to build a career built on shite - and I don't just mean him.

With us possibly having a rather older fan profile than most we probably have fewer twitter users than most. I find it very difficult to believe that he rounded up 100 City fans in a few hours.who were 'reasonable' in that they agree with him.
The 'common view' baffled me as well.
 
It's funny how we've become the ones being attacked when it would be like shooting fish out of a barrel if they pointed their attention up the East Lancs road to the cult at Talibanfield.

Definitely. City fans being called out by 'journalists' because they defend the club on twitter, when Liverpool fans smashing our coach was largely ignored, or put down to being part and parcel of the tribal nature of football. Imagine the condemnation if our fans had done that to the Liverpool team bus!

Sam Lee's response to the poster who asked him to conduct similar surveys (if you can call it that) for other teams said it all. They treat our fanbase differently and then complain loudly when they get a reaction.
