Bring the Noise

Really enjoyed today and the atmosphere in the 2nd half. We are at our best when we are up against it eh.

Think it also helped knowing Liverpool were losing. Despite them winning in the end, the crowd responded when it seemed they might lose and we needed to win to be within 3 points. Both playing at the same time helps I think.
 
A special shout out to the lad on the tram who was so pissed he tried to start a few songs that aren't actually songs, got aggro with people around him and then started moaning that he wishes he was a scouser because they sing on the tram. *massive eye roll*

There was definitely a jolt of excitement as the news was shown on the screen. I was with an American at his first game and he thought it was a cracking atmosphere.
 
As usual the loudest chant of the day was Blue Moon. Lets keep that going, its our anthem, synonymous with the club and encourages others to participate.

Not song enough and replaced by rubbish songs about Edin Dzeko only one block bother to sing
 
Like I said it’s quality when the crowd sticks by the team . Unless you are some slapped arse who needs to justify his sad fucking existence by slagging you off :)
 
It was brilliant today, even the Colin Bell stand was at it and all up screaming when the Villa bench kept the ball. Nice to know we can still do it when we have to.

Blue Moon was great today along with other time served classics.

I would rather have the Edin Dzeko song sang than silence, which is the case at some games. I think there is room for Bluemoon, the Viking song and the Balotelli and Dzeko songs

Good point Tim but if we want to improve the atmosphere why not sing the songs which get others involved?

Its counter intuitive but by singing the Dzeko song it actually worsens the atmosphere as the louder songs dont get started, and the vast majority of the crowd wont join in with the Dzeko chant.

Agree, mate.

I don’t want to come across like some kind of internet song police idiot, and sometimes I barely notice the atmosphere, but I have noticed that the south stand have this weird tendency to start exactly the wrong song at the wrong time.

If we’ve just gone a goal behind or are not playing well it’s the time to get the ground behind the team, with a Blue Moon or Come on City, not start clapping along with “we never win at home and we never win away” or “never felt more like singing the blues”. Those songs won’t catch on.

The second half was much better today though.

No same here and I take my hats off to those lads for making a fist of it every week.

There was one moment, as you have described today, when the crowd was stirred up and then the ‘Nobody better than Pep and Arteta’ started and the moment was lost and the energy was lost.

It was a decent effort today though, so no complaints.

It happens a lot, I’ve noticed. It happened straight after they went 1-0 up and they started “we never win at home”. As you say, they are making an effort but the clapalong songs might get going in a couple of blocks, but in the Upper tiers where I sit they only join in with the anthem type songs unless it’s a massive game. And that’s real atmosphere, when it booms around the ground.

Pep commented on it, too. I reckon the flat atmosphere in some games really bugs him.
