[Scaring Europe to Death]

Great fans Sunderland. So great they gave us the full "great fans" repertoire: WWYWYWS, football in a library, is there a fire drill and your support iss fucking shit. Great fans.
And something about fucking the mags of course. Plus a couple of ditties I didn't quite catch from my seat.

Quite happy to be corrected, but from our seats in block 119, it sounded as though the first disrespectful chants (at 3-0 when the game was drifting, and boredom was kicking-in) originated from the home fans.

"BEATING YOU WHEN WE WERE SHIT!"

A few people around me commented that it wasn't necessary.

Eh? It was the clear (and regularly used) response to WWYWYWS.

When did clapping the team off become a 'thing you must do' ?
I spent years on the Kippax and never did anyone stay and watch a lap of honour or clap the team off. The final whistle went and you cheered/clapped and almost immediately turned and went for the exit.
Now it seems it's something else to attack match going fans with.
This thread is full of people who don't go but criticise those that do.
I cheer, shout, swear and sing for 90+ minutes but when that whistle goes I'm off, I clap as I leave but that's it.

Apparently thats not good enough though. (Shakes head and presses post reply)

To be fair mate I think it’s less about staying after the whistle and doing all of that. But a few more fans staying to actually hear the whistle would be a good start

 

[bluemc]

They were singing ‘fuck the Mags, they’re murderers’.
The Mags being Newcastle, the Magpies.

They were also singing a lot about them being horse punchers, about Shearer being illegitimate and shite for England.

Happy to stand corrected if I misheard their north-eastern twang.

Who did Newcastle murder?

The only issue is, I was at Roker Park, with about 11000 there, and a lot of them were City fans.

I've no beef with them, always been good whenever I've been there but singing that WWYWYWS shit was taking the piss, when they largely vainished themselves for a time (same for most clubs tbh).

No beef at all with them,but sang all the small time whopper songs today,Bellends.

 

[There is a Light]

They took the piss and rightly so, our support is shit. Whilst it pisses me off its a fact that we can't ignore.

Something we need to face into. Apart from a minority of home supporters, this is true.

If you’re wondering why there’s no atmosphere, look at some of the regular Blues around you (not tourist or any other scapegoat).

If you’re not trying yourself, then you’re part of the problem.

I think it's the Saudi connection and the Khashoggi murder. I might be wrong though.

They are saying Newcastle = Saudi Arabia, so Khashoggi, amongst others.

No that was my point.

From 119 the first thing we heard was the "response" but nobody heard the accusation.

Not saying it didn't happen, but for the nest five minutes we heard all the usual chants and then a chant about Mags being murderers

 

[CITY24/7]

I''m in 111 or whatever it is now , what DJ 'spinning tunes' is this just a south stand thing ? certainly no DJ's in Kippax Corner.

If we won we always clapped the team off in the Kippax. That’s my recollection anyway.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Lots and lots of missing regulars around me in 315 most of which resulted in empty seats didn't help.

Sunderland we're loud but sang in some strange language;)

I'd say we weren't anything much above average over the 90 mins apart from a few mins when we were under pressure.

 

[Norman kneejerk]

I thought the South Stand was quite load in the second half from my spot in the FOC stand , it sounded like first and third tiers were giving it plenty with the 4 in a row song.
Mackems made me laugh with their Alan Shearer songs but it's a novelty day out for them when they're doing better than expected so always going to be up for it

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

Lots of match day ticket seats empty around us ,but hey ho let's ask £45 for a 5 year old .

 

[DJBusinesscake]

Are people actually crying over what songs opposition fans are singing at us? Ffs give your heads a wobble. The WWYWYWS stuff obviously gets to some of you, so, get this, thats why they fucking sing it.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

I thought they had a decent range of songs and were loud. Credit to them.

 

[pride in battle]

Who’s blaming City you paranoid ****!?

It’s fact.

I’m actually praising City for something they invested in and created, which I took pictures of and posted on Blue Moon, which was pretty much an exclusive at the time, after sorting out the flag room with the other 1894 lads.

Not my picture.

Redesigned concourse unveiled in South Stand of Etihad Stadium

You need help.

You need to go and speak to a psychiatrist.

You need a life mate, fucking hell, chill....

 

[pride in battle]

All they were missing from the small time wankers playbook was the "you're shit......aaaaaaahhhhhh" whenever Donnarumma took a goal kick.

At one point those in the 3rd tier were singing "fuck Hamas, murderers". Not wanting to get into the politics of a sensitive situation, that seems a strange thing to be singing at a football match?

Other way round mate

 

[eyalluvitt]

Blame City again eh ?
It's the not rights who would rather have a pint in the bar/concourse than get to their seats...apathy on a huge scale...

Lots of people around me arriving 15 minutes after kick off, then heading to the bar/concourse 15 minutes before half time. Back in their seats 15 minutes into the 2nd half and leave completely with 15 minutes to go. Sad what we have become
