Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

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'll have to narrow it down.

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.

Yes me too, a few of them missed Aguero, Kompany and countless others, delighted at the thought of them getting home and realising that
 
The guard of honour was something I’d expect to see in the Bundesliga: manufactured bollocks. Guards of honour are (rightly) reserved for teams / people that win things. If/ when Erling picks up a trophy , then we can have all the tunnel shite we had tonight. Reminded me of when Klopp made Liverpool do that bowing / holding hands shite he’d been used to doing at Dortmund. They’d got a last minute equaliser at home to Bournemouth; Milner standing perplexed wondering why they were doing it. Same for me tonight. I’ll cheer him if / when we win something. And I also hate the fact the pre premier league records seem to be totally forgotten. If he’d beaten Dixie Dean’s record, fair fucks. He’s only just over half way. Embarrassing.
 
I don’t know what the issue is with the stadium being near empty for Haaland bumps, no one knew it was happening and it was 10.05pm. Some like me will have been up since 6am, won’t get home until midnight and back up at 6am for work, I’m sure Haaland is not arsed about that.

I thought the atmosphere was fine tonight but you know what the biggest atmosphere killer is?

The fucking PA announcer, he’s making a mockery of us with his fucking cheese week in week out, season in season out. Cannot stand the bloke and I’ve seen videos on Instagram of him doing it and jumping around beaming like he’s done something special.

You must be fun at parties ;-)
 
Left a few mins after full time and missed the guard of honour. Would have stayed if I knew it was a thing.

That said the amount of people leaving from 75th min onwards was poor as usual.

Thought the atmosphere was decent in SS3. We moan a lot about tourists ruining atmosphere but honestly so many games this season I have been sat with season ticket holders that are adding absolutely nothing to the atmosphere and spend most of their time chatting, not even watching the game and certainly not making any noise... Read into that what you will...

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.

I agree but can’t see it changing Dave.

I hate Blues singing songs United have sung first, but the kids are mad like that, so it isn’t going to change, meaning I have to go with it.

I repeat, I absolutely hate it, i.e. it’s hard to change nonsense that some blues are determined to crack on with
