Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[BringBackSwales]

I've not missed an Old Trafford derby for over 25 years. That was one of the worst away atmospheres I can remember in all that time. We weren't totally shit but there were way too many quiet spells for my liking. I've only watched the first half back and while you can hear us on plenty of occasions, there's also a lot of noise from their singing section so maybe you were getting some of our atmosphere mixed up with theirs. I would add that outside of their singing section, United's support in the rest of the stadium was dog shit.

Are you saying that Paul is unable to distinguish our songs from nursery rhymes?

Ha ha! No, not at all. We can all spot their nursery rhymes a mile off but when watching it back there was another rather incessant chant that was getting aired through a lot of the first half that I couldn’t make head or tail of. I knew it wasn’t City singing it though. It sounded boring and shite to be honest. That was the weird thing with their singing section - they were vocal for sure but there were hardly any chants getting behind their team. Just random inane songs and shouting paedo to Foden every time he was in the vicinity of that part of the ground.

Leipzig ?

I may have meant Bruges. Certainly one of their set of fans was noisy

I’m sure it’s been said before but I do find it strange that the away fans and our main singing section are right next to each other. I sit in the East Stand, level one, near the half way line. To my left, in tge corner, are the away fans and beyond them, behind the goal, is our singing section. At quite a few games it seems the away fans (eg Leipzig, PSG,West Ham) drown out the home fans. This may just be because they are closer to me. Wouldnt it make more sense to have the away fans in a different part of the ground ?

Is the reason they are where they are is due to the bus park for away fans location.
Easy for the police to escort buses for away fans out of the area as well.

Why is Phil a paedo, what is that all about

There is literally no logic to it. Just absolute bellends making twats of themselves. That video of them outside the ground shouting it as our players left was embarrassing. Grown men, too.

At last, a new chant.

We could do with some more

God knows mate. I couldn’t work that one out at all

"They've rhymed City with City, no class"

In all serious naff effort.

I’m sure thats the reason.
