Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[Phil1]

It might help if he (and all of our fanbase who’ve completely overreacted to this) actually listened to Pep’s words.

Pep simply asked us to get behind them today because they’re going to be tired.

He never once mentioned attendance or atmosphere. Where that incorrect notion that Pep has criticised us has come from is a mystery. Which fan was the person who first set that narrative? Because it’s nothing like what Pep said.

So Parker coming out and saying “Pep should stick to coaching” just comes across like a fan representing a fanbase incapable of listening properly.

WE are the ones who’ve blown this argument out across the media. Not Pep.

They have listened but chosen to interpret them in their own way. Wrongly, in most cases but there's many posters on here who are using this incident as an excuse to vent at him in general because he apparently threw the CL final, he's just a Barcelona fan boy, he doesn't get the club, he's part of the Spanish mafia (whatever the fuck that means) and he gives other clubs too much respect.
All absolutely bollocks but I've read all of those accusations against him over the last few days.
We've some fucking odduns following this club.

The atmosphere can be pump at home. When we're dominating teams lower down the league table then it's difficult. When we're running the game down with 30 minutes to go as we're guaranteed the points it's difficult to get enthused. When the opposition are happy to leave our gaff with a 2-0 defeat and just sit deep with no intention of playing any kind of football, it's difficult to get enthused.

I've certainly been a bit bored at times going into the later stages of a game. Oh, and the exodus on 75/80 mins is piss poor, but I don't live far from the ground so no need for me to get away early.

 

[Phil1]

He's just been misunderstood every time he opens his mouth. His best defence is that he is good at his job so the needy will always back him.

He would best just saying I'm from Barcelona always worked for Manuel

I'll back him because I'm not so insecure following City that I have to be permanently offended whenever he calls on the fans to get behind the team.

There is no bigger wind up merchant than Pep, he is a master of it.

More than you can believe.

Average PL attendances this season:

Liverpool: just over 53k
City: just under 52k

One is widely accepted to have "magnificent support that intimidates any opposition visiting the Anfield cauldron"
... while the other is an "endless empty seats 'Emptyhad' laughing stock that even their own manager is embarrassed about".

It's all a bit odd / nonsensical.

Like Nazi Germany propaganda, if you say something enough times without it being challenged it becomes the truth. I’ve noticed you don’t see average attendances for the whole league highlighted in these articles written about City.

Spanish mafia always makes me laugh.

I don’t think this is about the community stuff all clubs do. It’s a about a fake/photoshopped ‘official’ tweet from City about 5,000 ‘free’ tickets available.

Easy to see that it’s fake. Just check City’s timeline and see if it’s there… of course it isn’t.

Did Parker consult with the Official Supporters Club to get the feeling of the board or members before going on TV? My guess would be no and that’s why his words hold no water and he’s due the shit storm that’s landed on him. He’s been on TV more than Ant & Dec in recent times and needs to concentrate on the bigger issues. IMO obviously.

Spanish mafia always makes me laugh.

Especially when Pep and Soriano are Catalan.

Or when Txiki gets called for being part of the “Catalan mafia” when he’s Basque.

No you will back him because he wins football matches. Being insecure has fuck all to do with it. He is an employee nothing more. I don't go to matches anymore so I couldn't care less what he thinks. If he wants to continually slag off the match going fans that's up to him.

I'm not daft enough or desperate enough to fall for his laughable excuses though. People are so transparent when it comes to stuff like this.
