Brighton supporter here...
Just wanted to join the party for a brief moment to congratulate you on your excellent achievement and thank City supporters at the match who were gracious in applauding Bruno our great club captain. It meant a lot to us and so respect to you.... Likewise I hope we reciprocated with applause for your team at the trophy ceremony. I have always been impressed with the skill and authority of Vincent Kompany and wish him and you well in the future (always excepting against us of course). Thanks again.

I was well impressed with both sets of fans, behaved how they should in the main and showed respect.


Not a bricked coach in sight either.

Yeah a few went up each time we scored and got twatted and chucked out and probably about 15 of us grouped. together and had flags and shirts on at the end :+)

Sat in the section next to the away end. Only blues who were chucked out were those who kept standing up and cheering after warnings. Didn’t see any punches being thrown. After each goal more and more stood up cheering, probably 50 - 100 of us and more in second tier. A lot more came in at the end.

The first text of congratulations I received was from a Sunderland supporter Marky. He is also always the first person to wish me luck before every match (although he always puts, but you won't need it, you'll beat them easy, doesn't matter who we are playing!) Good luck to Sunderland on Thursday.

Yep, that’s why I’m a big fan of your club and fans. As you used to not be so different from us and we always got on well at games. Never any trouble and always great banter between Sunderland and City fans.

That is why I’m pleased for you. Plus your team are a joy to watch and Guardiola is a great coach and likeable guy. He wears his heart on his sleeve and taken your club to even greater heights.

Let’s hope we get through on Thursday. Then we can win playoffs at Wembley and you’s can beat Watford to seal domestic treble. Nice end to the season haha

It must be so sweet for you guys, after all the torment you used to get off the united fans for years. Now look at them, falling down so much and you’s couldn’t be much higher, virtually like them in their golden spells, arguably better cos they never broke the records in premier league for points and goals like your side did.

Now all you need to do, is keeping bolstering the squad to try create a long legacy of domination like Man Utd did and get the champions league. Both are very likely, especially when you’s got pep and such a great squad of leaders, talent and hard work.

You need to freshen it up, to keep on top but your owners know what they doing and I think they will sign the right personnel. Good luck in final!

Plus I love your Poznań celebration. Will be nice to see you’s do that at wembley, I remember us doing it to Man Utd when you’s won it under Mancini in 2012

Did notice any celebrating the goals but I was too busy going bugshit. There seemed to be quite a few running on from home sections after the game, and a load in the stand to our right.
And was that a dipper who fucked off (again to our right) just after Mahrez scored? He was getting a fair bit of stick from our fans.
A young lad I work with said he'd be in the home end as he couldn't get a ticket from City even though he has loads of points.
Quite a lot in the away section who probably don't have 20,000 point between them yet still get tickets.

Two women sat behind me, dolled up to the nines, didn't seem to care what was going on.

Were you one of those booing Walker every time he touched the ball?

And maybe if you'd shown the same determination to beat us in your other 37 games you might well have been safe from the threat of relegation some time back.

Oh...and welcome to the forum and thank you for your kind words?

Maybe FI, on occasion, as a Mod, you might want to show a little bit of class to well meaning opposition supporters, especially after their club treated us so well yesterday.

We clapped Bruno off the pitch, we clapped their players and they clapped ours, staying behind in their thousands to do so. It was a lovely touch.

I had 3 friends who were and on the train back to Brighton station I was talking to a lady and her granddaughter who were in the Brighton end (they're from Brighton but City supporters) and she said there were at least 8 City supporters in the rows round her. Two of them jumped up when we scored our second goal and then others were jumping up she said and after the third one the Brighton fans were just laughing with them and she said some of them ( Brighton fans) sang the Are you watching Merseyside with us.
 
Watched the game in Tib Street tavern in Town. Now word of a lie they had the Liverpool game upstairs on the big screen to cater for Liverpool fans whilst the City game was on the smaller TV's downstairs. Great day regardless and hardly seen a red all day.

How could they have “shown the same determination to beat us” in their other 37 games when only one of them was against us ?

Just saying.

A good few hundred in the stand to the right of city end (as you face the pitch) and about 24 of us in the stand to the left. 20 by the end as they chucked 4 out :)

I was in the stand to the left, facing the pitch, close to the front. There were 5 blues directly behind me; 5 either side, including the Corfu supporter's club and another 5 or 6 just in front. There was a fella 2 rows back from me who got hooked after Sergio scored. He went mental and stood with his back to the pitch giving it large to the Brighton fans who demanded he go and the stewards came down in numbers and almost had to drag him away. His poor son, who'd done nothing, had to go as well. Someone else got hooked after Laporte scored.

I shook Bruno's hand and wished him well when he walked past me outside the stadium as I was heading to the station.

I also shook the hand of the city physio (don't know his name) and got a wave and a thumbs up from Tixi (sp) as he walked to the car park.
