In the study by CrowdScores, they also analysed the sentiment of the tweets, figuring out if they are of a positive or a negative nature. Aston Villa followers nailed this down the middle – with Crowdscores analysing that for every positive tweet, a negative tweet was also being sent across to @AVFCOfficial.
