Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[WNRH]

It really isn't hard to just open your mouths and join in whenever a song is sung. Anyone saying atmosphere doesn't matter don't you realise thst you can directly influence what is happening on the pitch if you make some noise!!

The ground at times yesterday was silent, I could not hear any lone singer singing. Therefore I assume you aren’t practicing what you preach?

 

[WNRH]

Is that what you think we want, an atmosphere like Boca? Jesus wept!

Straight forward question, will you contribute to the ‘great’ atmosphere at the next big game?

Yes, if we are pushing forward for a goal or are defending well I will clap and shout encouragement.

If you are asking if I will sing about a seven goal game from 10 years ago, then “Jesus wept” no.

 

[Bonzo Nododo]

Are people really that worried about empty seats and the atmosphere in the stadium? Time to stop moaning and start to enjoy what we are seeing on the pitch. When it is needed we get behind the team. I do not really care what the media or fans say, sometimes reacting to these things makes it worse. These individuals / groups are getting the reaction they want. We should grow thick skins and pay no attention. The fact there is a thread on the subject is laughable. For goodness sake, we are top of the league...

Yes so when these clunts start talking bollocks we don't stand there simpering as they say whatever lies they want.
One reason the media come out with all their crap is because they know our owners won't do anything back. Then the dickheads think they have a victory and repeat the dose.
There is more fun on putting them in the picture than saying 'not listening' with fingers in your ears.

Well done sir!

 

[WNRH]

Well done sir!

Will you be treating us to a 15 min rendition of “oh when the blues go marching in?” I too sit in SS3 so look forward to hearing it.

I love the fact you’re taking the piss out of a football fan for supporting the team on a football forum. You proper oddball.

I love the fact you’re taking the piss out of a football fan for supportering the team on a football forum. You proper oddball.

I’m taking the piss out of your hypocrisy and whinging, Im just making sure that your constant sniping of our fans on this thread after EVERY home game is not just hot air and you are practicing what you preach by supporting “the proper way” by singing non stop at games.

If you are not which I suspect you don’t, then that is proper oddball behaviour.

You make more noise on here about the lack of noise in the stadium then you actually do at the games.

I am worried because there are 1000's of young families with little cash who would have taken those tickets if there was a way of easily passing them on.

Thought the atmosphere was half decent yesterday from where I sit. Poznan got going like a Mexican wave, quite loud at times - admittedly was quiet as we conceded 3 goals.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Why do they deserve better support? They are paid to win games and put on a show for us, who pay extortionate ticket prices.

If they want louder support then why don’t each of them take a 10% pay cut and put towards subsidising tickets for fans who like to open their mouths. They won’t because they don’t give a shit so if people are paying £60 to watch a game then they will do exactly that.

Im sick of reading criticism of our support after a great win. It was the same after the 6-3 win over Leipzig by our champagne socialist manager and the same after our 6-3 win v Leicester. We turn out in our thousands with high ticket prices, shit customer service, poor transport and 90% of the time teams who do nothing but put 11 men behind the ball and frustrate us.

Our support is fucking great and we don’t need louder renditions of “and we’re all singing Edin Dzeko” to validate that.

Edin Dzeko will always be a legend. His song is the antidote to the Main Stand moaner hangover that from Maine Road to the Etihad.

Our supporters are great. More of us just need to realise how to enjoy themselves at a game by getting behind our team.

It was that quiet at times I managed to get the South Stand’s first chant of, “He’s Top of the League” going from East Stand Level 2.

Unfortunately, some of them were so far behind the chant, they were singing "Joleon Lescott" instead of Raheem Sterling.

;-)

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Have to say, I feel a bit uncomfortable being overtaken in the empty seats league by Spurs and Brighton. At this rate, we might struggle for a top 4 place.

 

[Gundog’s Gundog]

Sing if you want. Don't if you don't.

Too many people telling other people what to do in life, we don't need it in football as well.

The “I sing more often and louder than you so I’m a better supporter” type fan has seemingly replaced the “I stay right to the end so I’m a better supporter than you, you early leaver” variety on Bluemoon

Both types are largely made up of virtue signallers

Well he’s not going to sing on his own is he? There comes a point when the towel gets thrown in on trying to get songs going as most people as a rule aren’t interested. As for your Boca Juniors comment, that’s not what people are saying, but deadly silence for 30 odd minutes when we’re top of the league, 4-0 up, first Boxing Day fixture in years, it’s not unreasonable to criticise that. I know, free world, can’t tell people what to do, yada yada, but it’s is a comment about our fans in general.

Stand up for the champions gets right on my tits

Well done Russ Abbot, @Tim of the Oak.

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Wasn’t as good as the Leeds game but it was half decent…

then we scored the 4th and it went flat.

Then you had the Leicester fans who had been quiet all game so far singing about us being quiet, ignoring what it was like 10/15 mins before.

glad we got the 5th as nerves were creeping back in but then the crowd came back to generate some noise.

soon as we got the 6th mind you, the amount of people who got up left was a strange one

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Stand up for the champions gets right on my tits

its ok you won’t have to hear it when we don’t win the league

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

That’s like saying, it’s alright being mid-table nobodies and getting the odd win against the big clubs every now and again but watch shit football the rest of the time because we’re not getting relegated and we remember the big wins when they come round every so often.

Not to me isn’t. I’m able to separate the atmosphere and the team performance as two different things. They’re connected of course but not reliant on each other. As I said, others see it very differently.
