It was always going to end badly, wasn't it?

Manchester City's social media team marked February 14 with a special Valentine's Day poetry competition for all their followers. Unfortunately for them, it was swiftly gatecrashed by followers of Manchester's other football club. 'Let's see who's got the best #ValentinesDay rhymes,' a tweet from City's official Twitter account read, encouraging followers to complete a special City-themed Valentine's Day poem. https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/963744786543988737 Spying an opportunity, some United supporters used this as a chance to remind City and their fans that their recent successes have come as a result of their extremely wealthy owners. Y'know, the sort of thing you'd expect, really. Here's a sample of the replies the tweet received. https://twitter.com/Vintage_Utd/status/963765646440980480 https://twitter.com/surajkaranje/status/963797661500497920 https://twitter.com/ewan__campbell/status/963746592774873090 https://twitter.com/shotongoalx/status/963745981476073472 Ah, of course... With a good few hours of Valentine's Day still remaining at the time of writing, we can almost certainly expect a few more of these before the day is done.
