Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[blue44]

The mass exodus before the whistle however is embarrassing, other clubs don't have that issue we have. The players deserve appreciation and they all regularly stay on the pitch and do a mini lap themselves usually to a half empty crowd.

half empty ?

you' re being well generous there mate.

Second half sounded decent on the TV today

The ridiculously upset posters on here slagging off other blues are either covert dippers / rags or simply just don’t understand atmosphere at football matches and probably spend evenings at home wanking off to soundtracks of Crystal Palace or Bayern Munich games thinking that a 90 minute irrelevant relentless dirge constitutes a good atmosphere.

It was ok today, too many songs about the rags and too few songs about players but still a decent atmosphere for what football is in 2022.

Bored to tears!!!?? The game is won, most players out there are carrying knocks or have just come back from injury and we play two games a week for the next three weeks, every game a must win. Come on fella?! Also, as good as the narrative sounds, it won’t come down to goal difference. If we don’t win our remaining league fixtures, Liverpool win the league…even if we had put 10 past Watford today.

If you were bored to tears today then you either haven’t supported City for long or you need a prescription for high dose Sertraline sharpish!

Bill has supported City for a long time. He’s put in the hard yards.

Out of interest, where do you sit?

119 block south stand

Both sets of city fans either side of away fans singing to each other.
Where were you when you was shit. Typical city hummer. QUALITY

The atmosphere is no better or worse than most other grounds in the Premiership. If Liverpool were hammering a team on the verge of going down, Anfield would be no different. It’s just a lot of our fanbase are sensitive to the stick we take.
The early leavers are an embarrassment though.

Two fellas next to me spent 85 minutes slagging off Grealish, moaning in general and didn’t join in one song. And that’s in the south stand standing area. I don’t care if these fuckers have supported City for 50 years, used to do every home and away, spent decades on the Kippax or whatever, we have far too many whingeing old cunts turning up out of habit who have no clue that this is the best football they’ve ever seen or will ever see. We‘d be better off without them and I wish they’d just fuck off.

I do agree that it's amazing how many fans you hear moaning at City. If you can't be happy with what we've been truly privileged to witness at City over the past decade, then you never will be.

I appreciate that fans of my vintage had about 30 years of getting used to moaning & expecting the worst ... but things are very different now. Enjoy it while you can !

This here & now is undoubtedly the golden era of being a City fan - incredible stuff is happening regularly before our very eyes !

South singing “Kippax kippax give us a song” at the east !

Sadly there seem to be an increasing proportion of people in the east stand who don’t even know what the kippax is

Yes they have. Brentford were loud at the Etihad, and they normally create a good atmosphere at home.

You're right. They don't. Because they can't be bothered. But when they do, it's loud.

Sadly, Jesus has never had a decent chant, and one that has caught on. Jesus has been in and out of the team, so that hasn't helped him regarding a chant. He deserved a stadium chant today, never mind a SSL1 chant, which frustratingly was very muted. If Sergio had scored 4 goals today his chant would have been continuous and around the ground.

It’s not that they can’t be bothered, because they do join in with City chants. Every time Blue Moon or TBTITLAATW goes up the whole ground joins in.

But City chants are so rarely sung (at City games FFS, I can’t even believe I’m saying this!) the rest of the ground often sits in silence because there’s no interest in players chants. When you’re in the Singing area, I don’t think you really grasp how the rest of the ground are not really interested in player chants at all.

Blast out “Oh Man City, the only football team to come from Manchester” on Tuesday (which I don’t reckon we’ve sung since the takeover) you watch how many join in compared to a song about a player who isn’t even on the pitch which 90% of the crowd haven’t got a clue what the words are.
