SSN reporting live from Wembley, did they do that over the last 4 years?

I can almost never even make head nor tail of these Twitter discussions which get posted on here. Am I the only one?

Glad it’s not just me.

Lee going after Rabin today.

He deleted this and the earlier version of it. City fans aren't all militant but, but, but look at Rabin.

Another example of why it's OK for journalists to deploy whataboutery.

Is it just me, or are these Twitter journos (by which I mean journalists who put themselves in the Twitter firing line and then don't like being shot at) actually losing their collective minds recently? This isn't the first one who seems to be having some sort of crisis in the last few weeks.

Glad it’s not just me.

Or me

He's not wrong here though?

Lee didn't call City fans militant. He said it was a common view online and he said this while asking for opinions to apparently counter that claim.

Whether you think the question was in good faith, there's a clear difference and Rabin's claim is false.

You can't get all upset about "the media" not being accurate and then smear the truth for your own ends.

Lee directly used the term "militant cranks" to refer to some City fans. He then changed his tune to "they are seen as..."

Have you not seen them advertising the final?
"17 years in the making" it starts with.

You have to laugh haven't you.

Where?

Go back to page 1448. But it's the oldest trick in the book to make assertions without backing them up. He talks to the likes of Delaney and Harris, who probably fed him that line.

"There's loads on here that think domalino an argumentative, aggressive twat". See how easy it is.

It’s a pity Lee isn’t as enthusiastic talking up City as he is trying to get a reaction from its supporters with negative comments.
The Athletic like the Guardian is no friend of our great club. Avoid.

I really like Sam Lee. I was dubious about him being a United fan at the beginning but he definitely won me round with his content. I think this is either the United fan coming through or he’s being pushed by The Athletic to take this new stance. It pretty much isolates him from City fans and almost makes his position as City corespondent untenable.

Maybe he’s angling for a different job.

Nice to see the media calling out the scum and their sponsorship deal with the now banned Putinflot ))
