Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

Well done Pep. Rags texting me your comments this morning. Forgetting the expense it’s the bloody hassle. Does no one give a shit that it is almost impossible to get away from the place quickly? Yesterday I was busy at work but needed to sort 2 tickets out for people. Absolute logistical nightmare. A women at work told me her husband has wanted to go to the first 2 games but has not understood the website issues. I am still awaiting a response to the debacle I experienced at the Norwich game. I got a holding email saying we would respond after Arsenal and still nothing. It amazes me that we got around 40,000 last night, if that had been at Maine Road it would have been considered a huge crowd but the Etihad is a big place to fill. Really pissed off with Pep and he clearly lives in a bubble but I hope he gets the message that this is about the tenth time he has had a pop. He has been a sulky bastad at times and also cocked your several champions league campaigns with his arrogance. I am afraid I am starting to think I am ready for a change. Rather someone who maybe is not as good but seems proud to be out manager. He pissed me off hugely last night.
Careful what you wish for.
 
there was a group of us that did try on occasion last night. Pretty difficult when lots of others don’t want to join in or you’ve got block 115 and the corner constantly singing about Dzeko or United.

I don’t mind those songs, but the rest of the ground don’t join in with any of them. We love you city was sung and more people joined in. Classic Chants that everyone knows, but are rarely sung
Maybe it’s just me but I find the “it should’ve been 10” song to be the biggest load of dirge. Absolutely hate it.
 
That's pretty disappointing to hear if you struggle to attend a 3PM game living locally, get the wife and kids involved if that helps.

The Saturday 3pm kick offs should be in highest demand as there is no TV option

That's the point though, it's a balance of time for me more than money at the moment, I often end up working on a Saturday Morning, if I could get to the ground and back away easy enough it wouldn't feel like such a pain in the arse but it really is, it's the same for night games, trying to battle through the traffic to get a parking spot can be a nightmare, maybe when the kids are a bit older but at the moment it's just very difficult.
 
Pep's entitled to his opinion , his previous clubs were established european giants , i think he looks down on our support as inadequate after all his hard work and commitment , but we are in the same city as a football juggernaut , where as he had Espanyol to compete with at Barca,
He is naive in some of his statements and when the shit hits the fan in the future Pep will move on to pastures new , where as our support will be here long after he has departed.
Brilliant coach but he needs a lesson in diplomacy as far as our support is concerned
 
Pep calling out fans is not on, when the club charge up to 80 quid for league games, and in excess of 40 quid for kids, these prices for many are a one off treat, not prices for people to appear for 3 home games in 6 days, add in the ticket shambles where going to a game is akin to getting into Fort Knox what does he expect?
Pissed me off, no need.
 
Didn’t think it was a bad crowd last night after initial worries.

didn’t think the atmosphere was bad either

was in tier 3 of Colin bell so didn’t see what the 1st tiers looked like, obviously the attendance didn’t help with RB bringing so few (don’t blame them in any way)
 
The thread where some blues disappear up their own arses.

Have I really just read some posts which call Pep ‘arrogant and aloof’ at the same time praising Mancini as some kind of man of the people ?? That’s hilarious.

If you want to learn about arrogance and being aloof I suggest you speak to any players or staff that had to deal with Mancini. But he wore a city scarf so he was ‘one of us’.
