The English are just not as energetic as some other nationalities tbh, we don't have the same passion for the game as fans from abroad do. It's definitely a cultural thing.

I’ve never seen more tourists at a City game than the semi against Madrid. We all know the farce involved with selling tickets for that game. However, the atmosphere was fantastic and it felt that almost every ‘proper’ blue in the ground that night sang their hearts out.

Put thousands of affordable tickets on sale and find a way to ensure they go in to the right hands. The latter is difficult but I think you’d see a more passionate atmosphere quite easily.
Hamburg home in the Quarters of the Europa League (or whatever it was called back then) was truly special. My ticket was about £5.
I’ll give it a go mate ha haYou going to start your song lol

Exactly this.There are enough people putting the boot into my beloved club at the moment, the last thing we need is our manager turning around and having a go himself.

Glad you’re happy then if that’s how you feel. You have a lovely dayHow? On paper there isn't. We all know it doesn't work like that though. You accept it and it's why people turn up in numbers to watch sport. Just because we have the best team in Europe we should have the best fans in Europe? Think it's you that's talking bollocks.
Another 'lol'er. Don't need to say any more.
Jesus, you still at it 3 days later? We get it. Peps a **** for trying to rouse the stadium into making noise. Move on, mate. This criticism of him is fucking way overboard now.
He was trying to rouse the Tunnel Club. ;-) I didn't see him doing it from SSL1.
Next time he needs to run over to SSL1, give it the bigun to us, and run back to his technical area.

I think passion is the wrong word, as a nation we are slightly reserved, it take a lot to get us going, and as many have found out a lot to stop us when we do, but you can’t argue that your average City fan is not more passionate than your average South American fan, we just have different ways of showing itThe English are just not as energetic as some other nationalities tbh, we don't have the same passion for the game as fans from abroad do. It's definitely a cultural thing.

It was £15 for adults, £5 for concessions. It was absolutely immense the noise that day but it's worth stating that most people didn't get into the ground until kick off as they were all sinking pints at the local establishment and there were huge queues to get in! Pricing is a big part of things, but there also has to be an acceptance that sometimes it's just one of those days and the sting isn't quite there. Maybe Pep could have called us out pre-match to hype us up, rather than post-match.
Some 12.30 kick offs are great, and others will be flat. It's the ebb and flow of football in this country. I can see why Pep was frustrated with it, we will be in for it when we get to Anfield. But he's also seen us stick it to them plenty of times before, even in April for the early kick off when the stakes were higher with it being the run in.
