Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

It's just been brought up on Talk Sport. Simon Jordan loving it, with his inevitable petulant, snide comments while also claiming he has nothing against the club, and City fans have it in for him.

Nevertheless, it had me thinking. Why aren't we as interested in the Champions League?

I've not missed a game this season, including the Charity Shield. I'll be there on Saturday, I'll go against Wycombe and I'll be at Stamford Bridge for an early kick off next Saturday. However, I wasn't bothered about going last night.

Why is that? I'm just not that bothered about playing European competition. Don't get me wrong, I want to win the UCL to tick that box but it's just not as attractive as beating all the clubs around us to be the best team in England.

I plan to go to Paris for the PSG game, that's more about the experience, but I'll be far happier if we beat Chelsea next week. I won't be travelling home from Paris feeling gutted, and hating football if we lose. I was at the Bernabeu 18 months ago when we came from behind to beat Real Madrid. It was fantastic but I'd be far more ecstatic if we did the same at Old Trafford, or even Anfield.

Maybe, it's because we're relatively new to the competition. Many united and Liverpool fans have grown up watching their team play in Europe. And, having success in Europe too. Perhaps the younger generation watching City now will be as interested in the Champions League when they're older. However, for me personally, I just want to get that monkey off our back but I'm far more interested in beating our rivals to be the champions of England.

Manager calling out to all fans shocker

The real issue is the snowflake support we have that care what others think about our attendances and support, who gives a fuck, you either attend and support the team or you don't, not sure what the big issue is to be honest?

Too many people worrying about what others think instead of just getting on with your thing

Jordans a prick, if it wasn't Peps comments it would be something else.

Wonder why Champagne Socialist Neville isn't championing the cost of football on behalf of fans, he's got a fucking opinion on everything else.

There's no fan voice in the media these days, it's just tribal clickbait.
 
Pep probably believes the BBC. They are reporting a match day attendance of 38,062. That's got to be wrong. The stands were packed in the lower tiers. There were empty seats in the away end (50 away fans?) and a few empty seats in the Colin Bell 3rd tier. perhaps there were some empty seats in the South Stand 3rd tier but I couldn't really see. I'd say 48,062 is a possibility but no way was there 38k there.

If that's what the ticket office have announced then they clearly do not have a clue.

Hardly snowflake material but more frustration.

I don't care what the critics say. The ground was pretty much packed against Leipzig. It's certainly a much bigger crowd for a midweek game than we would have got a decade ago.

I am not sure that many of the people commenting about our crowds are City fans.

Every fan base has it in for Simon Jordan! The group stages are dead rubbers anyway. Anfield looked packed but I bet a lot of them fans are taking their 1 chance a season to get tickets. The media defo make more of a deal out of city not winning it I think I want to win it just so we can say we've won it and shut them up!
