I genuinely think we were poor last season in the stands.I get what you mean but it’s nothing to do with winning things and being content or not. It’s about our team and getting behind them because the team is in a bad patch right now. We’ve always known when to come out and support the team and never been needed to be told, even by Pep
I don’t really disagree with you. I just think the context is a bit different - lose v Spurs and it is a bad situationI genuinely think we were poor last season in the stands.
Madrid, Arsenal, the derby, Liverpool home games… the games that normally take care of themselves… all had bobbins atmospheres.
Arsenal and Inter this season were poor atmospheres too.
Compare them to the United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Madrid games in the treble season where the atmospheres were incredible. It’s why I think our fanbase has completely relaxed and I wonder if many are content with what we’ve won now.
Piss poor once again.
The ironic songs when the game was done isn’t good enough. Absolutely nothing from us when the game was in the balance.
The days of any sort of raucous home atmosphere are just gone I’m afraid.
Not a patch on what it was even just 1-2 years ago for big games, let alone pre-Covid.Really I thought on the whole the fans were great.
Quite right! And the players stayed and applauded us all like they appreciated it n’all.Thanks to the Blues who stayed until the end and sang for the team. It was clear who loves the Club
We had a few amazing atmospheres in the treble running, but apart from that we were average at best.Not a patch on what it was even just 1-2 years ago for big games, let alone pre-Covid.
So did the players.Fantastic today, took me back to the good old days!
Today I thought we got behind a losing team. It's very easy to sing when we are winning so to hear Champions Again when we are 3 down surely says a lotNot a patch on what it was even just 1-2 years ago for big games, let alone pre-Covid.
Yeah if people buy into it, it's our only chance to get our own single singing section in unison....don't miss this opportunity bluesAt least the bean counters at City have got what they wanted.
I can’t wait for the expanded North stand to open.
It really is going to make a huge difference to the atmosphere at the Etihad.(arf!)
If fans buy into it and make it what it could be without pining for the club to hold our hands whilst doing it like some little lost lambs who are scared of a big stand, it might help.At least the bean counters at City have got what they wanted.
I can’t wait for the expanded North stand to open.

Brighton away and today, when we lose we just have to try harder to keep going. Lose at Anfield and we should be the same, let’s stand up and show the fuckers rejoicing in our bad run what we’re about as fans, in the same way we used to when we got battered 5-0 and 6-0 at Anfield in the 90’s.Quite right! And the players stayed and applauded us all like they appreciated it n’all.
Can see who’s really got the minerals in our stands, unfortunately it’s far from being everyone.
To me it was just singing to have a laugh because we know we were beat, which is fine.Today I thought we got behind a losing team. It's very easy to sing when we are winning so to hear Champions Again when we are 3 down surely says a lot
First ten minutes today we were alright, but after that while the game was still in the balance we were silent.To me it was just singing to have a laugh because we know we were beat, which is fine.
My point though, is that there’s just nothing when the team *really* needs us, when the game is there to be won. Not enough singing in general and certainly not reactive enough to things happening on the pitch.
All you have to do is look at Madrid 22/23 and Liverpool 18/19 (there’s plenty more, those two just stick out), to see the difference it makes. It just isn’t there and wasn’t there even *once* last season either.
