That’s not quite true is it. The Palace Ultras create a good atmosphere at Selhurst Park and get the rest of the Palace crowd singing. At least give them some credit. If City were 1-4 down against Palace at the Etihad you’d hear a pin drop and the Etihad would be half empty with 15 minutes to go. I don’t remember our fans roaring City on when Palace staged a come back at the Etihad this season. Yes, the Palace Ultras don’t travel well or support their team well away from home, but the Palace Ultras are good at home. It’s easy to have a pop at home fans (as we know all too well) when the away team, on this occasion City, are winning 1-4.

Well it was true for me today and last season.

Maybe my view is skewed because I don’t like them, but all I could hear was the boom, boom of their drum.

Im not going to get into digging another clubs support as I think Palace have a decent following but I agree bar the maybe 40/50 over the tunnel/sign there was not much going on. I was right next to the home fans across the netting in the Arthur Wait sign and it resembled a neutral end with many just filming the City fans.

But Palace aren't a decent team. However we made a fair bit of noise when losing to Arsenal at home about 20 years ago.
 
What makes puny / out of shape Londoners and rags (so just Londoners ) think that everybody wearing black t shirts is intimidating ?
 
Sometimes I , fantasise, won the league under Mancini and again with Pellegrini, don’t these times fill your eyes, now we’ve got Pep Guardiola and the Blues are taking over, we’re never gonna lose, we’re always on the booze

Total of about 200 of them singing behind the goal. They’re absolutely nothing without their drum.

And to the club execs who want to replace us with new fans - look at the away end today - that is something you will never he able to replace.

Coincidental that this away following had less corporates / vloggers / tourists than the always days at Chelsea, Arsenal, rags, dipperpool etc. Club execs, wake up and smell the coffee. All the aforementioned groups can have tickets galore for the Etihad, they should be hugely limited for away days.

Looked like a fantastic away day, those who were there must’ve had a ball and those who weren’t there wished they were.

But club execs if they even looked at it at all wouldn’t have noted the non stop singing or the all round boisterousness, no they would’ve noted and been disappointed at the lack of vloggers helping to promote the brand and disappointed at the disproportionately low number of affluent looking tourists.

Their highlight would’ve been seeing a young boy decked out in City colours celebrating while his well to do parents of South East Asian appearance looked on

I agree.

I just think it’s a bit daft when people try to claim that early leavers in some way hurt the team.

These are truly elite professional sportsmen, I don’t think it matters a jot to them whether there is a full stadium there or nobody there. The type of needy, self aggrandising fans who criticise early leavers like to pretend it does

Offcourse they do, total selfish cunts when result is still in jeopardy

What’s the end part, couldn’t work it out

Sometimes I fantasise
Won the league under Mancini
And again with Pellagrinni
Don’t these times
Fill your eyes
Now we’ve got Pep Guardiola
And the blues are taking over

…..

Anyone help

I was there. I remember it well. Arsenal were unbelievable that day. When the team you support have lost the game by half-time the only thing left to do is to support the team the best you can and hope they don’t concede anymore goals in the second half.

I don’t manage to get many away tickets, mainly limited to away cup games, but have have been to Villa and Palace in the league this season, and both have been great atmospheres.

Just watched match of the day and every highlight was accompanied by a city song, which is a fair reflection of most of the game, well done blues

I always try and play devils advocate when it comes to our support and other clubs support.

We do have one of the best away supports in the PL. Only United and Newcastle can match our away support, and maybe Liverpool on a good away day.

I honestly believe traditional English support and Ultra support both have their pluses and minuses. To say one is better than the other is unfair and shortsighted. It depends which, if either, you prefer. I like both for different reasons. I also dislike both for different reasons.

I agree banging a drum aimlessly for 90 minutes is annoying and pointless. Banging a drum sporadically and in time with the chants can and does aid and prolong chants. What I really hate is when a Capo starts chants off and you can hear him on speakers in front of the Curva or on the stadium speakers. AC Milan do that. So do other Ultras across Europe.
