The big difference is that European clubs’ atmospheres are generally choreographed.I'll admit, whenever I watch us in Europe and see the way European team send their team off, I do get a little embarrassed. Embarrassed by what the players think that is, couldn't care less about the twitter gimps.
I’ve never understood early leaver s even when we were bad but it doesn’t seem to have affected many world class players who have devoted their best years to god’s own. Maybe it’s little more than a fan v fan issue?Well considering we’re the reigning European Champions, we’ve won 5 out of the last 6 league titles and we’re on one of the best consecutive winning streaks at home ever seen in this country I’d say it’s not affecting them at all.
I think it’s really odd that in the afterglow of a thumping win that sends us back to the top of the table the first reaction of a handful of needy attention seeking “fans” is to criticise match going blues.
It’s fucking bizarre and to repeat myself it never ever happens at the match
It’s weird. Someone suggested we have a debate on why they leave early. I’m dumbfounded. We watch amazing football from a world class team. What’s not to love here.Dont get the reasonng for leaving early , so you miss traffic , catch the first bus or tram , what does it f*cking matter , you wait all week to support your team and you f*ck off ten minutes early to be home or in the boozer ten minutes earlier , after waiting ALL week for the match.
Its non-sensical , for eighty minutes our support is as good as any in the country and then 50% of our crowd piss off into the night , i would love to listen to a debate on why those ten vital minutes are so essential to your life.
Our players and manager who happen to be the "best in the world" and give 100% for 90 plus miinutes its a real shame some of our support doesnt do the same.
Bang on.Well considering we’re the reigning European Champions, we’ve won 5 out of the last 6 league titles and we’re on one of the best consecutive winning streaks at home ever seen in this country I’d say it’s not affecting them at all.

Anyone who expected an "atmosphere" today was over expecting.It was a bit quiet today but I was not expecting fireworks for a game against Bournemouth, this not arrogance but nearly everyone thought we would win, so the atmosphere becomes a bit carnival, to put simply there was no jeopardy in the game, it will on fire against Liverpool now there’s a game with plenty of jeopardy
21st Century Mexican Wave.Just getting a view on the fucking pathetic iphone lights? What the fuck is that about?? Am I too grumpy and old?? As for early leavers, I dont get it (although I do get the total absence of infrastructure around the ground) - but each to thier own I suppose. I travel to every game from London for the past 38 years, and leave to walk back to Piccadilly after the last player is in - but then I dont have to contend with the Metro or car parks. So we agree, we all have a different view on early leavers - but can we please agree that if someone over the age of 16 is rotating thier iphone with the light on for more than 10 seconds in front of you, you can whack it our of their hand?

You ask our players what they think of our atmospheres when games really matter. Bayern, Madrid, Arsenal etc last season.
The Etihad is a bear pit when it comes alive. That Isn’t manufactured. It’s raw emotion and noise.
It’s not even a fan v fan issue.I’ve never understood early leaver s even when we were bad but it doesn’t seem to have affected many world class players who have devoted their best years to god’s own. Maybe it’s little more than a fan v fan issue?
