I think Sam Lee's initial tweet was worded a bit clumsily but it's been blown a little out of proportion imo. Surprised that the argument is seemingly still continuing on Twitter, given everything that's happened in the last 48 hours, but there we go. The internet is serious business, after all, but it all seemed a bit unnecessary and unedifying.

Can see why some felt it was a loaded question and are a bit wary, especially after Nick Harris' recent sham questionnaire, but Lee is hardly in the category as Harris. Not entirely sure what the purpose of his article is though, given that the middle ground he mentions probably represents the vast majority of City fans (certainly those that I know, at least). I doubt we'll be getting any unique insight into how most of us already think, but I'll reserve judgement until the article is published.

For what it's worth, I don't care about his background as a United fan. I don't really want a City cheerleader like a James Pearce or Simon Hughes. Just someone who writes intelligently and fairly about my club.

The full headline was:

Why Manchester United should be one of England's most loved clubs for all fans...please. Please love us. For the love of God, we are desperate.

Do you think the vast majority of the media give us fair & balanced treatment Ric?

Why blues taking an interest and challenging the bullshit is important. If left alone media types and average Jo respondents will write with impunity and the opinions set in stone

Mate sent me this reader response from the dipper Echo which had run an article saying that dipperpool might follow us into the metaverse.

Apparently, along with the usual shitty jibes about emptyhad was this belter from someone who it’s safe to assume is a long way off being a rocket scientist!

Firstly any figures posted by citeh should be taken with a massive pinch of salt. There accounts are probably even less reliable and truthful than Donald Trumps. The reason I think the emptyhad is always largely empty is because they always sell out every game. Why the empty seats? Maybe because they are "sold" for tens of thousands of pounds per game. Then there is the sponsorship and hospitality. A state run club being sponsored by a state run airline????? Mmm it doesn't take a rocket scientist to join the dots. It keeps corruption to stop the UK media reporting it and the "authorities" stamping it out with 5 Yr transfer bans at all age levels and 8 figure fines.

You know Sam's including that in his 100 non-miltant cranks responses.
