City v Spurs, Etihad Stadium, Friday 8th November, 7.30pm

I was asking on the main Bluemoon chat about ticket sales. Someone said 9000 in mid week.

Hopefully bottom tiers will be full but is a weird one to have at the Etihad.
Spurs aren’t exactly a big deal. Weird choice.

Any idea what the final attendance figure was? Looked busy both sides L1 and some sat above in CB L2.

Interesting sitting in 127 so near to Taylor. Surprised to see him calling the pass for the players. Maybe all managers do that, Pep included - I’m not normally sat so close to watch and notice it at a game - but it did surprise me at this level that the players aren’t left to make those decisions. Tbf though, they weren’t always listening to his suggestions!

Wow, I think Murphy's gonna be quite a player for us! Got that hybrid Hemp-Kelly vibe about her!

Great decision bringing her in from the academy.

She is certainly fucking quick!

10,000 I believe.

That justified the decision to move the game to Etihad.

Loved her hunger to get at them.

And it was a pleasant novelty to have a pint at a women’s match too!

I thought Christiansen and Houghton were very good, they understand football, and can talk about.

I thought the two "guests" were a bit of an embarrasment in the commentary, but quite funny at the end, the chess board coat women likes the sound of her own voice.

Who were these women? Were they just City fans or guests of the club? Bizarre!

Discrimination at it's worst ;-)

I don't know them at all, one was an ex footballer, I think they were both comedians, but I don't follow modern comedians, find most of them quite tedious (FOC syndrome).

Completely agree about the guest pundits. Just watching Christiansen and Houghton swap glances when the two "comedians" were going off with themselves just made me think 'these two are not getting an invite back'!

I understand making light remarks in the professional game and football related humour but to go off the rails was uncomfortable. I don't like when Lee Dixon waffles about shit, so it's not a sexism view, as they reign it in quite quickly.

It just looks dumb, overall.

Really good experience at the Etihad tonight . Is it me or is it warmer than the Joie ? I'm usually in SS3 for the mens team so CB 126 was a novelty, watching for offsides We had more thrust and energy this evening , especially at the start and finish of the game and our subs kept us on the front foot . In previous games we've looked tired as the game progresses and haven't used the subs well . Good team effort and lovely to see Bunny get a hat trick ..happy days .
