Atmosphere - 2023/24

[train man]

And for folk who say United songs in games not against them are out of place - fuck ‘em. That horrible lot are always in the media - it’s a valid and vital counter-narrative for the non-aligned armchair football-watcher to hear how much that club are hated.

True, but moreso that it was the pre-derby game when the rag build-up tends to get a warm-up anyway.
Maybe someone with a twitter account could explain that to Joe Blatchly @99JJB, re his otherwise complimentary quote in There is a Light post, #3443

Is the full game on catchup?
Quite fancy it just for the singing

No need anymore the stupid "City's goin down with a billion in the bank" .

Not big,funny or clever and smacks of largesse !!

I'm not keen on the song either but that's our kind of humour. We've always been able to take the piss out of ourselves and long may it continue.

Our empty seats at home song is fuckin' great: )

When City were singing 'is this the emptyhad' the commentators said something about what the chant meant lol. But got it totally wrong lol

What did they say? That was best away end this season

He's on about when city fans were singing it, the commentator thought it was a reference to battering them, but it was a reference to lutons lack of singing.

It's one of city's self depreciating banter songs.

haha...yes...just watched it on the replay & they seemed to be referring to the goals surplus rather than the empty seats & lack of noise from the Luton Town brigade....if you know, you know...which obviously the commentator didn't

I am pretty sure that song originated 2009/10 ish and is based on United fans suggesting we would get relegated after our takeover when we were struggling under Mark Hughes.

Its not playing billy big bollards but mocking a United chant from the past.

They/He thought it referred to Haaland getting a hat trick away from home…. As all his hat tricks have been at the Etihad. Idiot. Was it Matterface?

And it refers back to ‘typical City’ I.e. only City could have a new billionaire owner with money to burn but still manage to get relegated!
