We're now passing the buck to the fans who have sat and endured a season where for the most part the football has been turgid, team selections baffling and players not giving a fuck. We've gone out of two domestic cups to teams we should be beating every day of the week and whilst doing enough in the end to qualify for the last 16 of CL we were soundly beaten in what could have been a cricket score had our Keeper not had the game of his life.
I appreciate the atmosphere isn't rocking but it's a fucking stretch to think that professional footballers look around the Etihad on a match day and let the fact we're not bouncing up and down affect their performance in any way shape or form. If they're doing their jobs in the first place they shouldn't hear the crowd, it should just be background noise.
Anyway isn't there already half a dozen threads having a go at match goers?
Yes, I agree entirely,
Seeing your manager going ape shit at mistakes and rejoicing when we score is a good thing. The cool and calm look is pretty suave when you're winning all the time, but we need to feel like it actually matters. Same with the players. It's hardly surprising I as a fan start sighing when I'm seeing players repeatedly duck out of 50/50 tackle,
Passion on the pitch = passion on the terraces.
