Spot on mate. I know you are always good for getting the songs going. I also remember Anfield in silence when Mahrez should have won the game for us:There were pockets of blues trying to get it going. I tried to spark a few chants off myself but it was a fruitless exercise, yet when I go to Leicester in a few weeks it’ll be piss easy to get chants going and they’ll spread across the whole away end. Yesterday was a combination of various factors - the tourists, not enough blues getting songs going or when they did kind of get going not enough joined in to keep them going, too many City fans who are happy to sing on the concourse but then shit the bed when it comes to singing in the stands (not confined to Liverpool away - this has been going on for years all over) and, dare I say it, the Liverpool fans were pretty loud throughout just as they were last season and this drowned out any chants from our end that did get going. They’ve not always been like that though. We bossed the atmosphere at the Mahrez penalty miss game in 2018 but these days their fans turn up at home games against us, just as we tend to do in home games against them.
I bet the other people in your front room are deaf now :-)Spot on mate. I know you are always good for getting the songs going. I also remember Anfield in silence when Mahrez should have won the game for us:
Aoart from the piss taking tourists in our end, it’s a shame more Blues don’t sing up loud and proud for the lads. I’ve still not got my voice back yet from getting behind the lads vs Feyenord lol
I will hopefully, see them back for the Forest game lolI bet the other people in your front room are deaf now :-)
Yes it was a shit end with far too many tourists, but there were still enough proper Blues to get it going and too many chose not to. Away ends haven’t been anywhere near as good this season as they were in the previous couple of seasons and that’s not just on the tourists.There were pockets of blues trying to get it going.

I wouldn't say it was dreadful but it wasn't as good as in previous seasons. 12.30 kick-offs can be like that sometimes.Last year our home atmosphere against Liverpool was dreadful

this needs sorting out asap..its fuckin embarrassing. They should have been ordered out the away end (PAID OR NOT)..I fuckin hate Barcelona.This really does deserve to be scrutinised.
One is bad enough but 8 next to each other?????
Weren't the large group of Belgians at Arsenal a result of Vincent Kompany pooling all the players tickets? I also saw someone in a Chelsea tracksuit at Arsenal; he was getting a load of grief and showed the envelope his ticket came in, and it had a City player's name on it, so obviously a mate.Have I woke up in 2014 or something? This has been going on for over a decade now, it's nothing new, I've seen a row of Belgians at Arsenal, a row of Asians at anfield, the list goes on, every big game is the same.
I also have a season ticket on the barrier and I see tourists in the away end at the Etihad for practically every game too. It's a league wide problem,
we happen to have been hit hard by it because we have people in charge who are very willing to siphon off tickets meant for the hardcore fanbase and give them to the highest bidders and we are the most attractive team in the league.
