The truth is we can be amongst the best if not the best for atmosphere & noise but that is never mentioned by the media or praised by anyone & we can be as quiet & subdued as a lot of other places including the rags & dippers but as soon as we are its highlighted by the media, other fans & our manager.
All baldy has done is give us a rod for our own back. Sticking the boot in on talksport this morning - maybe we are bored of winning! Stick to picking the team Josep and speak to your gaffers about the prawn sarnie and Prosecco brigade that sit behind you.
Maybe it's the fact that we have a different crowd at Champion league games , If you can't generate an atmosphere against your title rivals then it's a poor show in my opinion, I'm seventy plus and still like to sing at games, I have a group who sit near me and a more interested in shoving the shitty beer down there necks in the corporate bar than watching the game.People have short term memories of what the atmosphere was like against Bayern and Madrid in the spring. Crowds in England are always reactionary to what’s happening on the pitch, City looked like they were going backwards at time during the game on Saturday and afforded Liverpool way to much of the hall compared to other teams. That flatness would have fed into the crowd.
See that’s we differ you tool. You wouldn’t be sitting next to me. I stand and sing, clearly you sit in the quiet corner with your half & half scarf. Then harp on about poor support. I get it, it’s your first season ticket, you’re excited, but deluded.
Poor support. Bollocks!
Post of the day that mate. Let’s all stick to the agenda. It’s Pep being a mard arse and should be directing his frustrations at the owners, not us. Complete shit response from Pep. Needs to own his shit.I recall that when they put the tickets on sale for non-season ticket holders, for all of our home matches at once this season, the Liverpool, United and Arsenal games were already “greyed out”. To judge from the half and half scarf quotient present on Saturday, it wouldn’t surprise me if none of those, what, 12k to 15k, tickets was sold to long time, Mancunian, City fans.
I’m tired of Pep loading the gun for our enemies to take pot shots at us. He needs to train his sights on the club’s owners, not the supporters
He’s a perfectionist. He wants more noise more atmosphere. He’s not pissed me off. The sublime football we play warrants an amazing atmosphere even if we play at 2 in the morning. It’s a dire atmosphere at times and he’s right. It’s not much better elsewhere with new stadia. It can be like a morgue at times. Away support is amazing home support a lot of the time is dire. These are facts. A Kippax that never had anything to shout about would embrace this fine world class side.I genuinely don't think he understands how much his comments piss people off. As you allude to people make huge sacrifices to be there. I was awake about 5am and had about 4 hours sleep. Like everybody else I'm paying a fair bit for the privilege of being there. Bus broke down on the way back too etc. Then you get these comments off somebody whose getting paid very handsomely to be there knocking the support in his lavish Stone Island jumper. Not those in the stands scrimping and saving all week to be in attendance. He annoyed me last season too after the Spurs game midweek and am getting back through the door at 1.30am or whatever it was on a Wednesday or Thursday morning. Other fans taking pot shots the following day after a decent nights sleep and not spending a penny. It is irritating.
I think the tweet by City is in response to his comments and probably wouldn't have been posted otherwise. Somebody at the club should just tell him not to comment on it and he's only making himself look daft trying to gee up the tunnel club.
Don't want to sound ungrateful as I love the guy and we're very fortunate to have him. I think we all just have to accept he's very ignorant to the changing demographic of those in attendance and the repercussions City fans face from his comments.
Tell him to go to a concert then, blokes a mard arse.He’s a perfectionist. He wants more noise more atmosphere. He’s not pissed me off.

If anyone thinks the Kippax was a boiling, seething, cauldron of excitement and atmosphere at every single game, then their memory is completely shot, and they are sadly mistaken. We are no worse or no better than the vast majority of other PL teams.He’s a perfectionist. He wants more noise more atmosphere. He’s not pissed me off.

Well said mr old school. Get behind them. Pep is right again. It is poor. You keep singing mate hopefully your positive reaction will have an effect on others and will join in. Loads around me too busy on their phones and getting beers in.Maybe it's the fact that we have a different crowd at Champion league games , If you can't generate an atmosphere against your title rivals then it's a poor show in my opinion, I'm seventy plus and still like to sing at games, I have a group who sit near me and a more interested in shoving the shitty beer down there necks in the corporate bar than watching the game.
