Do these companies actively want less custom? If it's funny then fair enough, but rage baiting fanbases just means they'll be less likely to use your product or service. Bizarre.

If that 'journalist' is a regular at the Etihad then they need banning for taking a pot shot at the fans.

However knowing City they'll do nothing.

someone in media team must talk to these so called journalist and point out facts. but i guess that would cost them their job

London football teams fans now if they had to travel up to Manchester every semi final of the fa cup then the final for 30 odd times I’m telling you it wouldn’t sell out

Said this to a Chelsea fan yesterday. It’s spot on

Was it Jamie Jackson by any chance ?

No, but I've heard that you like Dickens !!

I'm glad that you've got great expectations of me but they are totally unfounded.

I doubt Arteta or another club would protect the identity of the funny **** giving them shit in a press conference.

33 times - so you're probably looking at £200 minimum for ticket, travel and food (and that's the cheapest ticket, car share, & a Co-op meal deal or two) - so making all those trips would set a City fan back around £6,600.

Per person so imagine me with my two grandkids or dad with a couple of kids. I won’t go to semi finals there either

Going off the socials and the click/rage bait posts about our attendance at Wembley, 90% of fans tell the posts the real deal and refer to how many times we’ve been there and the true financial cost.

The real fan gets it, and of course the ones who are there to wind up are entitled to. It’s football banter. Those who truly go on the offensive are on the absolute minority.

 

[kurious oranj]

Mate. They’re the broadcasters. They have live feeds from every game. They’re just not allowed to broadcast it to the public.

I would have thought that was obvious

 

[uweuweuwe]

just noticed Kevin Cummins on facebook is as fed up fed up of the trolls slagging off City as the rest of us. He's posted the profle of a someone that called him a blue **** nonce for daring to talk about City on social media. Good on him shame more of these fuckers aren't called out.

And I reckon that minority are probably teenagers!

Probably be Jim White's bait on his Talkshite shoe tomorrow.

"The FA Cup final Opponents have been decided. Chelsea will play Manchester City who's fans didn't even bother turning up for their semi. Have they become too arrogant?"

Block 511. I'm in this picture. Looks as if it was taken just before half time when quite a few had already gone into the concourse to beat the queues for drinks etc and get out of the sun.

I refuse going to semis at Wembley, not because I can't afford it, but the principle of making every event a London thing that only benefits those in London, we need to level up Football too, bring back northen semis.

We have developed a siege mentality on and off the field snd it's a big part of our success. Pep has weaponised the criticism to galvanise the team. While at the same time I think our away support has been magnificent this season and another reason why why we are in the hunt for three trophies. The snide media coverage has motivated me more to get behind the team. We all need to stick together against the cunts who want to destroy us. The 25,000 who went yesterday (and suffered in intense sunlight) were fantastic in the second half. We really pushed the team towards those two late goals...and the players know it.

I agree.

The FA are taking the piss.

Re: the Sheffield Wednesday fan who made the original post. If he's talking about "embarrassing", his own club is the very definition of the word

There has been an average of over 12,000 empty seats at Sheffield Wednesday home games this season.

Is that your son with a beer belly, beard and a tattoo?
