Mate, there won’t be 40 fans in the stadium an hour before kick off, never mind 40k. That’s not how we do it in England.

Yep, when I go, I normally I aim to get to my seat just before the teams come out, Maybe a quick toilet stop, possibly a coffee, if I'm really early (like 20 minutes early)
Years ago, when I wasn't old enough to drink (drinking being an absolutely integral part of my 80s and 90s matchday experience for obvious reasons ) I spent many a boring hour watching teams going through their warm ups, even ,at away grounds coming out to 'inspect the pitch' in their suits (as they used to wear) when they arrive!! I used to wonder if the game would ever start!!
Having said the above, when the game actually starts I do try to get involved, clap, cheer, sing (if you call it that) express my views (sometimes quite colourfully!)
as much as I can.
Also, I have only left early once at COMS/Etihad, that was that astoundingly dreadful game against Forest in the FA Cup, where with about 15 mins to go I simply couldn't take anymore!!!

Pressure of the public is a myth.
Real Madrid players are elite athletes who have mental concentration.
In fact, Real Madrid and Barça fans are so animated like my grandmother, and together they have almost 20 Champions.

In fact, Greece or Turkey have very hot fans and they don't win anything.

Manchester City players will beat Real Madrid with their quality. Just with it.

LOL.
You are afraid of Real Madrid.

I told same last year. Same now. Real Madrid is out.

Real Madrid is a charade.


At the moment is lower than City.

His legend as a club is explained by extra-sports issues that come from very far away. It's the first "state club" of this sport.

Without full political support it should not even exist for 25 years.

Spain is not the beach and the sun and the sangria and the smiles while you dance "yo quiero baaaailar toda la nooooche!". That's just the appearance.

There is a lot of garbage in their sewers and under their blankets. And within all that there are elements like Real Madrid that are used and favored outside of sports.

What an earth are you on about?!!! Of course atmosphere can and does have an impact. How much of an impact is open to debate when sides have the calibre of players we do. It's no coincidence most teams home record is better than their aways. Look at Villa for example- played ourselves and Arsenal off the pitch within a week at Villa Park and then we battered them 4-1 at the Etihad.

Arsenal and Madrid crumbled under the atmosphere last season. No question.

Anxiety transcends from the stands to the players, just as a bouncing atmosphere gives players a second wind or boost.
 
I think our players know when the atmosphere is going to be poor. I’m 100% sure they knew the Etihad wasn’t going to be rocking against Luton. They will know the Etihad will be rocking against Real Madrid. Hopefully? ;-)

I know its wrong but playing a bunch of plastic cockneys after Real is difficult.

Wednesday will be rocking.
 
Wednesday will take care of it’s self I have no worries the place will be bouncing, especially after the dipper result today it’s given us another lift, separate competition but the feeling is growing we could be in for something good.

But you won't hear the pin drop in the football media. Because according to the football media Anfield always has a speacial atmosphere.

Credit due (reluctantly) to the dippers for at least staying to the end albeit very quietly.
Watching the tarquins starting to disappear from their comfy seats whenthey went one down, I wondered if there was a tube strike on.
 
City fans have always been critical of themselves, without due cause. Our atmosphere is on a par or better than most (probably actually the best away support of them all) and as was shown today others have a much worse problem with early leavers. Even with the tourists, I think the atmosphere midweek will be electric
 
The ironic thing about apparently having empty seats and no atmosphere, the players don’t feel the tension because it’s soo quiet and there’s always empty seats, unlike Liverpools famous YNWA anthem (when their winning, or Sky crank it up before our match) and Arsenal, who need their players to encourage them to stop shitting their pants and fuck off big style when they throw their cravats in disgust.
