Sponsors don't have a clue either, and why would it bother them ? their brand is still seen around the world. Its the same rules for every club and we are now well within them. Yes David Gill is a complete c*nt.They might not but the fact remains, UEFA are fully aware as will major sponsors be and its embarrassing for them and it annoys them as borne out by the fact they wanted to sanction us (again) not that long back.
Nah. FFP = Fix Football Permanently
Our club has grown off the pitch beyond any of our dreams, I'm sure the club and all the other clubs will be fighting any changes that UEFA try and make. Its not just us that get punished.I appreciate Pep's point of view. And of those City fans who think the booing should stop.
But it's a carry on from me.
UEFA, Gill, and the Cartel have done everything in their power not only to destroy City's CL campaigns, but to also hold the club back on and off the pitch. That I can never forgive and forget.
They have bent their own rules to support their agenda against us, even reporting us for booing their anthem.
And as we all know, it looks as if the campaign isn't over yet, with new rules giving previous European Cup and CL winners extra ranking points and prize money, at our expense.(plus other clubs)
The have f***ed us over, and are continuing to f***us over, aided in no part by David Gill.
Enough said.
O
Booing an anthem shouldn't affect the players, it didn't last season and it didn't tonight. We're not booing the performance, were booing uefa. The astmosphere seemed good last night, so the booing doesn't have a negative impact on the astmosphere. We've been screwed over by uefa and they're still looking to screw us over even more. I'm booing, simple as that.
Bang on? Calling people 'retarded mongs'? Yeah, he's nailed it there big man.Bang on mate. Embarrassing how pathetic some of the soft arses are on this forum. Let. It. Go

Think its time we put it to bed personally, just get behind the team and the wonderful football we are watching, Pep wasnt here for the punishments so its a clean slate
The boo's are pointless...as if anyone from UEFA even cares we boo their anthem.
I've let nobody down.Couldn't agree more with Pep!
Im right behind the manager! We are doing everything we can to conquer Europe and the world! The fans have let the club down with poor support in Europe!
Time to rectify that! Come on Cityyyy! Stop the booing and start creating a hostile atmosphere towards our opposition!!!!

Disagree on thee sponsors, however i do agree its time we moved on and stopped the booing although i wasn't left out of pocket after Moscow and feel for those that where and feel the club should have stepped in and reimbursed those who had shelled out as a good will gesture.
Pep is right but i dont think he was right in coming out with it last night in the circumstances thats all.
we had around 58% capacity last night, United after the bomb scare had around 59% capacity. was a good effort by everyone last night, however the ground should be full for the game on tuesday, therefore would be a much bigger crowd last night.30,270 according to the Guardian. Can't be right? Looked a good crowd to me.
Whatever it will be 54,000 again at the weekend
Pep needs to keep doing whats he's doing, and look forward and keep taking the club forward.Pep needs to look into the history between us and uefa the- he might realise why we do what we do!
To all those saying stop booing the anthem I'd like to say one thing:
Go fuck yourselves you pathetic pricks.
Let's just remember why we're doing it specifically. It's for a group of people who spent time and not inconsiderable money going to a game they were sold tickets & travel for and weren't allowed to watch because of the high-handed attitude of UEFA. And nor were they compensated one penny, either by the club (who after all took their ticket money and didn't refund it) or UEFA. So when I boo I think about those guys I know, real fans not some of you plastic armchair ones, who lost a few hundred quid they'd spent to follow City.
And don't forget that this is an organisation that's shafted us in every way at every turn and still comes up with new ways to do so.
The one way we have to express our displeasure and to publicly shame them is to boo their stupid, arrogant "anthem" while the whole world is listening and watching.
The message about their shameless venality is getting through as well with the smaller associations voting in a real outsider as president. Who's to say that the booing played no part in that?
So Pep (who has managed two of the favoured clubs don't forget) should worry about managing the team and not stick his nose in to matters that concern the fans.
