well done to all those that pissed off again and couldn’t give a toss to applaud our record breaker off the pitch at full time. Oh I forgot we’ve got to get my car, train, bus, tram, donkey, bicycle , shameful.

It’s the ones who don’t stay to the end of the match that are an embarrassment. I love it when we score in time added so they miss it.

Would be nice if the whole ground was up for it all night, yes, but by now we know outside the SS it comes and goes. What I will say is I was in the gods for a change and could hear and see all - don’t think any of the PL crowds up and down the country would produce more noise on a Wed night after work…not an excuse just context

I agree with your point about other ground. I haven’t missed an away in the league this season and most grounds don’t have atmospheres anymore really- usually we are dicking them though so we don’t have that excuse as we are rarely second best. Just sad really I want better for this team because they deserve it…
 
First time for a long while tonight and my god I'm paying for it now, but that's another story, I thought the atmosphere was great tonight Loud Proud and Loyal.
Welldone everyone.

They will all cry the loudest when he fucks off to Madrid eventually. I always stay until the players are long gone in the tunnel, I don't understand how an extra 10 minutes makes such a difference for people. I get it, it's a nightmare to get out of the area after, people need to wake up the next morning, me too, but it's a small sacrifice for me to witness the greatest team in the world. People travel from all around the world to watch Man City live. Too many people take this team for granted.
 
It was actually a bit eerie how quiet it was first half.
Cracking in the second half though. Bouncing at times.

But what an absolute shame for Haaland to have a guard of honour coming off the pitch for his achievement by the players and staff and be looking around at an empty stadium. Well done to all those who did stay!

Was interesting to see Pep gesticulating to the fans around the hour mark, he wasn’t satisfied with what he was(n’t) hearing and I don’t blame him. It was mostly dead in CB Level 2.

The atmosphere was very hit and miss tonight. Second half better than first. The number of early leavers though was an absolute joke tonight. Must have been 20,000 people left before the end. Mad when only 5 games to go.

Relocating next season. Cross between a library and a Year 6 class detention up in ES3. I’ve been to livelier wakes. Best football ever witnessed, and I’m getting shushed by folk with £100 worth of club-shop clobber, who wouldn’t know passion and suffering if it came up and carjacked their VW Tiguan. Gentrification, everywhere I look.

Awooo. Up the Blues.

Come to 315
 
Probably the best example of the season of us sabotaging our own atmosphere. There must be a few hundred south stand fans with hands swollen like balloons tonight. As I posted at half time, I guessed this would come when I heard the new “we’re the boys in blue” chant taking off at Fulham. Within a minute or two of the kick off the singing areas just clapped along to that one repeatedly , interspersed with the odd Follow Follow and Follow You everywhere. There was no, Blue Moon, no Best Team in the Land, no anthems . Nothing but a muffled wall of incessant clapping which just lead to the rest of the ground lapsing into silence.

Second half was better and on the few occasions an anthem was sung it spread around.

We are killing our own atmosphere with these clappy concourse songs at home games and they will kill the Wembley atmosphere too if we keep doing it there. The rest of the crowd are up for singing but in my opinion we should keep these songs for away matches, concourses or occasionally at home , not when the team needs lifting.
 
Very surprised at everyone moaning, yes it wasn't as good as arsenal but it was never going to be. I get that we're in a title running, but a home game against West Ham isn't exactly the most exciting.

There's been much much worse atmospheres than that this season.

I’ve got a cracking picture. 10 minutes before the end of the match in one of the hospitality parts of the ground. I’ll post the picture tomorrow. And City want to put a hospitality section at the front of NSL2. Fuck offf!

Im up for hours anyway after a game because I’m still running on adrenaline.

I just go to bed earlier the next night and catch up on my sleep, then I’m alright the day after.
 
not that bad, but Pep has misread it. There was a certain nervousness creeping in with some non believers. That accounted for a slightly less vocal atmosphere.
 
Haaland makes a point of clapping each corner off the stadium after the game. No other player has ever been so giving back to the crowd, so we always stay and clap the players off the pitch every game and still get home in the same amount of time as the traffic is moving. I just don't get why so many people can leave on 80 minutes ????

I tell you what. There’s a bloke in block 212 a few rows behind me (I’m row B, I reckon he’s D/E) and he never fucking shuts up. Not chanting, just shouting nonsense. No sentence without a “fucking” in the midst of it.

I love those around me who start chants, be supportive of the team and have constructive conversations but he just chats shite for 90 minutes without taking a breath. Doing me nut in!

You are banging your head against the wall with this one Dave. You are right but it’s falling on deaf ears. The best song that got everyone involved was Stand up for the Chanpions. Everyone knows the words, everyone knows to stand up. The whole crowd sing it. It is noisy and visual. It took until around the 70th minute for that one to make an appearance.

Yeah my hands are. I love clapping along to chants, like thousands of others do in SSL1.

You’re re boring us to death Dave. You’ve spent all season going on about fucking clapping songs. Give it a rest! Or at least until next season.

The same clapping songs will happen against Leeds. Chelsea and Real Madrid. Get over them and move on. Do yourself and us a favour.

CLAP, CLAP, FUCKING, CLAP!
