Amazingly they actually panned up & showed our fans celebrating the last goal on TV
Absolute limbs!
I have a scan over social media after an away day. Other supporters are generally complimentary about our away support, but it’s staggering how bad the takes are on our home atmosphere. Granted, we know ourselves it could be better, but fans of other clubs genuinely talk through their arse like atmospheres are better at their own grounds. Today and most weeks the OT atmosphere is poor, same goes for Anfield, Chelsea, even Villa and Newcastle are always built up to be some cauldrons of passion yet they’re no better than the Etihad. It pisses me off how this has reached mythical proportions now, just like the empty seats myth which social media simpletons still peddle as fact.
I generally accept that people who comment on our home support have never set foot in the Etihad, and most of them have never been to a game.
To be fair the Geordies were very loud at the start of the game and the 15 minutes before half time. They only went quiet when we started passing them to death. The City fans were magnificent though. I think St James Park is a great place to watch a match. Last night was fantastic.
It’s a cracking away day and was made even better because of the 5.30 kick-off time. Atmosphere last night was mint for the most part.
Because he has become the Katie Hopkins of football journalism (I use that word advisedly in his case). His job is to provoke a reaction, nothing else. That’s what he has to do to earn a living. It’s all he can do to earn a living. He really is a sad, pathetic cockroach.
