Exactly, I bet it was absolutely rocking at Anfield the other night when it was 1-1 for 89 minutes, lolCommentators going on last night that it is not like a game at Anfield or Ibrox. Bum licking yet again.
Anfield is a morgue most of the time. Most of the tourist stare at their phones until they score and it is 'Cheer Time'.
if we couldn't turn it up in them games we might as well all just give up trying to create any atmosphereAll the bed wetting cry babies on here slating the atmosphere last night at a relatively unimportant early season group game were nowhere to be seen after the Villa game or the derby or the dippers game or the Real semi last season.
That’s because those games were important and fans were more engaged and so the atmosphere (fucking brilliant at all four games) took care of itself.
If the atmosphere was exactly the same every week like it presumably is for the Dortmund dullards then where’s the fun. If you had Christmas dinner every day you’d soon be bored of Christmas dinner.
There never is in the CL Group Stage. We’ve played about 34 home games in the CL Group Stage over the years and maybe had two good atmospheres.The drum (debate) aside, etc. Dortmund had 500 fans at the front of the away end. The sang more and made more noise than 5000 City fans in SSL1. Nevermind the rest of the ground.
People can slate the Dortmund fans, the drum, the Capo, the cheer leaders, orchastrated songs, the choreography, etc.I get all of that. It isn't for you. You don't like it. Fair enough. But when it came to actual singing, and most importantly supporting the team, when let's be honest, they needed it in a very poor 1st half, there wasn't any or very little.
Their four drums were louder than their chants.Lets be honest our fans are shit. Same as all other English fanbases. Just got shown up by european ultras in our own stadium again and you get the same rinse and repeat bs in the forums about how 'we dont need a drum' and 'we're better than that'
I think that’s one of the main issues we have. The people in the singing sections don’t sing. It only takes 100 or so to sing at once to get it going. I’ve noticed the east stand corner section much louder though, which is the best for noiseWorst thing from last night if anything was the amount of people in the singing sections who didn't sing one chant i do get it was hard to sing as the drums did not help the chances of chants spreading around the section but some effort at least would be nice
Add to that it’s just a CL group stage game. City pass other teams to death, keeping the ball, passing the ball around, recycling the ball, which isn’t exciting, so there’s little or no reason or incentive to support the team.Lets be honest our fans are shit.

That’s not true though is it ? You’re exaggerating your point to paint City fans in a bad light.can’t be arsed singing and supporting City.
Whilst 50,000 City fans stand and sit in complete silence for long periods of the game.
It doesn't help that we now have a stadium of snowflakes, I got pulled up on my language at the last home game of the season for shouting to Gerrard to f off you scouse Cun* and said his Mrs was a sla#,and got pulled up on my language at the Palace 4-2 gameDifferent fan base at these games doesn’t help. So many SC holders do not bother with the cup schemes or even any cup games, whether cost or other reason but CL games in certain areas (SS lower) is much more mixed in the group stages and definitely was last night.
The noise and scenes in our bit after 2nd goal were best at a CL for some time

So no need for the faux outrage in future when I point out that you criticise City fans
Does that include the PL games as well? Because City pass almost every PL away team to death at the Etihad, and we’ve still created a good atmosphere at all the home games so far this season.Add to that it’s just a CL group stage game. City pass other teams to death, keeping the ball, passing the ball around, recycling the ball, which isn’t exciting, so there’s little or no reason or incentive to support the team.
So on one hand we slag Dortmund and other Ultras off, and then we make excuses because we can’t be arsed singing and supporting City.

I think Coldplay would have struggled to sing watching that first half.Add to that it’s just a CL group stage game. City pass other teams to death, keeping the ball, passing the ball around, recycling the ball, which isn’t exciting, so there’s little or no reason or incentive to support the team.
