Lol which one is it?Just the classics booming around Wembley. Yesterday is proof that singing classics is always going to create more noise than I'll follow you everywhere.
Special mention to the Best Defence in Europe chant which I love and is getting lots of traction.
I know a lot of people like to come on here and have a go at the singing sections for only singing clapalong songs, but you've got to be able to admit when one of these becomes a classic which everyone in the ground can sing along to.Lol which one is it?
I love the new songs. I think the chat about classics Vs new songs is basically only relevant in this thread, people will sing what they want to sing and on the big games the atmosphere takes care of itself. Songs only become classics through big moments and big occasions (eg the pair you mention).I know a lot of people like to come on here and have a go at the singing sections for only singing clapalong songs, but you've got to be able to admit when one of these becomes a classic which everyone in the ground can sing along to.
Both follow follow and best defence in Europe started as shite which nobody knew, but as the season has gone on they've become fantastic.
Surely you can see this
Agree with this, it's gone up a whole different level this season, one which I've not seen since 11/12, return of the Poznan and some fantastic new songs, top fucking notchThe new chants gave galvanized the fans and the team. Especially Mr Stone's. :-)
He's spot on, no nerves from the fans, just do everything to get this trophy back to the Etihad...FANS AT WEMBLEY WERE AMAZING, WE NEED YOU AGAIN IN ISTANBUL! - GUNDOGAN
“Our fans are going to be so important for us again this weekend, as they always are,” he said.
“You only have to look at Saturday’s match at Wembley to show you how vital they are to our performance.
“Our fans were amazing from start to finish. Hearing them sing ‘Blue Moon’ in the tunnel, the deafening atmosphere as we walked out onto the pitch to a sea of blue, the Poznan as we waited for the match to start on the pitch, it was incredible and, in my opinion, helped us score after 13 seconds.
“To score that early was an unbelievable feeling and it felt like a reward for how amazing our fans were. Now we need them again in Istanbul.
“From the moment we wait in the tunnel, as we line-up on the pitch and during the whole game, we need that positive noise again. We know our fans will be there for us and we will give everything to make them proud.”

Has anyone got an audio version of the ‘is this the way to Istanbul?’ Song?

City fans and open ends don't mix and never have. You can't get our songs going without a roof.i didnt go istanbul, cant comment much about it but from all accounts wanst the best atmosphere. No wonder, fans treat like shit for hours in that heat. Security taking fans banners and inflatables to throw in skips.. Only a hard core set of ultras like the milan lads could make good a good noise at places like that.
yes, roof needed, its our cappo !City fans and open ends don't mix and never have. You can't get our songs going without a roof.
Think that’s fair Trev, atmosphere was good in parts, but people were exhausted due to travel and day drinking coming to an abrupt end around 7PM. I remember observing Rangers fans in Seville for the Europa final and thinking it was strange how one of the noisiest fanbases in the UK were so quiet in such as big match, but it turned out they had similar issues with day drinking, then being left in the heat, no alcohol or water in the stadium, so they were simply wrecked by match time. I think this may have been an issue for us in Porto as well?i didnt go istanbul, cant comment much about it but from all accounts wanst the best atmosphere.

I dare say Italian fans don’t have the same drinking culture, but fair play to them they were very noisy and their songs were well orchestrated . Strange they could get drums and massive flags in yet as you say they were taking inflatables and flags over a certain size off Blues. Would have loved to have seen some of your guys flags over there, much better and more authentic than the free ones clubs the club provide.
The City end had pockets of singing spread right across the end right throughout the match, it wasn't fully carrying at points, when it did it was noisy. Overall it was impacted by the stuff mentioned above plus distance between stand and pitch with an open end. There definitely would have been better stadiums for creating an atmosphere.
