Next week we’ll see if we’ve all got the same hunger as last year. Last year was like the perfect storm for us. Late title charge which we gained momentum towards the end of the season. Desperate for our first champions league and then the FA Cup which would top off a treble. We’re in a very similar situation now but I just feel that the atmosphere hasn’t quite caught on yet.

The atmosphere AND the team haven’t quite got the same spark.

....and it was 2nd leg of a semi.
 
Great effort from the blues there last night. Second half all you could hear was the City fans singing. Considering there are nearly 80,000 Real fans in the ground and the roof was closed that shows what an effort the fans made and how well we played to silence them.

Get the Etihad rocking next week and they'll shit it again.
 
Atmosphere hasn’t been great at times this season for whatever reason. I’d like to think it will pick up now we’re at the business end of the season and still in for potential double treble. Starting next week!

Without wanting to get too deep/philosophical, i think the fans are collectively suffering the same effect that great squads have when they have a very successful season; the 'after the lord mayor's show' effect. To maintain passion, energy etc. is hard anyway, nevermind after such successes, and perhaps there is a collective subconscious idea in the stands that "we did it, we did the treble, sit back and bask for a little while". That is why this squad and manager are phenomenal, we're competing for it again.

I think the fan base have been jolted back into what is actually occurring, in the last 7 days / 3 matches.
 
Anyone arranging a bus welcome for Wednesday ? Always works well and gets people in the ground early.

I've noticed that before . When City won 3-1 a few seasons back it was noticeable a few dozen City fans jumped up in that same bit. Must be a neutral zone.
Wasn't some of the players clapping towards there as well ? I think some family members might have been in same section

Plastic tourists.....
 
Came to the atletico game today, this is my second trip to the Metropolitano.

In my opinion this is the best atmosphere in Europe. There is participation from the whole crowd, dortmund can't even be heard.

Loud singing, but also reacting to what's happening on the pitch (Something that most of Europe forgets to do)

I know it's a UCL QF so my opinion will be skewed, but this is absolutel hell for an opposition player

Rubbish in the 1st half, very decent in the 2nd half. All the big chants starting in SS3 like usual.

5/10

If you'd asked me at the start of the season who the best away fans to visit the Etihad would be, I'd have put my money on Luton. How wrong I would've been.

Small time as it gets, worse than villa the other week. And once they'd reminded us that we're a library, they then sat in silence for large periods.
 
I used to like plucky Luton, but I’d be quite happy if they dropped back to non-league after that. Biggest bunch of gobshites I’ve seen at the Etihad in a while. Songs and behaviour far more suited to the lower leagues. Hardly surprising looking at the state of them that Yaxley Lennon spawned from that town.
 
Wasnt great overall today but decent in parts. What is it with teams coming to the etihad and not singing about their own team. Let luton off as half the fuckers probs don't know the songs. Anything for a short clip to post on twitter I guess.
 
Face dropped for the umpteenth time when I saw I was surrounded by school kids up at the back of level 3. But they loved it. Sang, made a noise, and got behind the team. The rules aren’t hard to follow. Old sods who moan about KdB or Rodri are bedblockers who need replacing. Up the Blues.
