Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

They were pyro, not drug,
Interesting, seemed to be a lot more pitch side Stewards today as well.

Outside too was odd with extra barriers along the main entrance access road.
Maybe they were expecting trouble.

Seem to let Rags just wander into ot though and get a game called off at will!
 
Not when it’s too expensive for them to go, I don’t, no. And they frustratingly look on knowing that they’d stay until the end to applaud the team off but see about 20,000 people had left by the time the game finished.

There have been years gone by (not as bad this season) where the game is announced as sold out, some fans couldn’t get a ticket yet there’d be empty seats through the game and loads leaving early when the bloke sat at home who couldn’t get a ticket will be pissed off with the lot of them.
So "I cant scrape enough together to go to the match but if you can, then you don't get the right to leave when you want, because if I could scrape enough together, Id stay longer than you"??

They will have treated today as a high risk event after the last game of the season last year and this week’s News.
 
What was the rush to leave early tonight? Dancing on Ice?
Of all days to support til the end they still couldn’t wait to leave!
Does Pep now need to address this?
Embarrassing
I’ll give him a bell tomoz mate.
 
Thought it was good today, defo lost my voice so that went well. SS3 was bouncing at points and really good, some of the retaliatory chants were quality. “We’ll cheat when we want”,“3 nil to the dirty cheats”, “100 charges you’ll never sing that”

Do want to say villa fans hit a new low with me for the abuse during the silence for Tudor. Then again it was a day release from the comedy club with some looking like they had escaped from the set of goonies - hey you guys.

Anyway my pissed up head needs food now so up the dirty cheating blue boys and well done to everyone for the noise today. We just need to keep it going now.
 
The atmosphere was great today , best it’s been in a long time and I’m in the North west corner and well placed to here when it’s shit and when it’s decent ..
it did die off a bit once the jeopardy went out the game at 3-0 but hay we have bigger games coming that we’ve saved some for .. Even us foc in the corners and the families belted out a few today (not like you would have herd it over in the south but we definitely did. And the noise was definitely louder coming from the south then it’s been in a long time , if we could just all sing the sane song it would be great -)
 
The Raja and Wydad lads are coming over on Sunday. :-)

Remember Raja (green) from Casablanca?

This is a video of Wydad, their Casablanca rivals.


I'm picturing Didsbury, Casual and load of other Bluemoon FOC's sat at the other end of the ground moaning about too much clapping and the playlist
 
The first half was really good. What was that banging in the second half? It sounded like someone kicking shutters or something. It didn’t help because the south stand settled into that clap-clap-clap-clap-follow-follow-follow-Bernardo-empty-seats-at-home-clap-clap-clap thing in time with the banging and it killed off most of the atmosphere.

Overall I thought it was a great show of defiance from the crowd although I didn’t really like that “we’ll cheat when we want” song.
Give it a rest Dave. You sound like some old rocker moaning about New Romantics
 
Started off great, but the amount of early leavers was ridiculous. After the week we’ve had surely you can stay until the end to clap the team off?

It looked like about 4 rows in the family stand were empty most of the second half? Why on earth is that allowed to happen
Somebody said to me it was Liverpools academy team. They played us earlier. They left about 65 mins.

I like Dave.

I like his posts as a rule.

But he is sounding like a stuck record with his clap, clap, clap comments.

Today was great. Plenty of chants. Plenty of new chants. Self-deprecating chants and humour. Etc

Sometimes all is needed is well done everyone, a great effort.

I honestly don’t like that. It’s like some choreographed performance or summat. It’s just not…English, or Mancunian, I suppose. That jumping up and down stuff looks a bit stupid to me. Like when you get a whole end wearing the same t shirt or something. It makes you look like sheep.
