Etihad atmosphere

[malg]

Down in 111 yesterday, so right next to the away fans. They didn't make to much noise either. From what I saw, and heard, a fair few of the fans down near the away fans just spend most of their time shouting obscenities to each other, calling each other wankers, that silly fucking arms wide stance offering out someone for a non existent bout of fisticuffs. Not that much singing going on. Even when we scored, the immediate reaction isn't to celebrate with the team, it's to goad the away fans - calling them wankers, and once again offering them out for the non existent fight.

Another one I noticed a lot of yesterday was people just standing around chatting to each other. I get it's the first game of the season, and maybe some people want to catch up with someone they only see at the games, but there's half time for that. One bloke in front of me spent the last 8 minutes of the first half just talking to his mate, they weren't watching any of the game at all.

I suppose people pay their money, and once in the ground they can do what they want - within reason.

Feel for Pep, coming to one of the wealthiest and rapidly growing football clubs but yet has one of the least passionate supporters. Bet he felt along way from Bayern or Barca.

I shouldn't think Pep gave it a single thought, especially as he's managed those 2 previously, who often have similar shit atmospheres, especially Barcelona.

75000 of the twats aswell, perhaps the shittest atmosphere in the PL.

Don't forget the songsheets

Camp Nou is very quiet and expectant unless they're playing Real or it's a big CL game.

Allianz for a similar fixture like Ingolstadt at home will be expectant.

He's used to it.

Completely agree, mate.

Quite a few people have said they thought the atmosphere was good which just goes to show how shit it usually is.

I think our support is at its best when we're losing or if there is an injustice like a wrongful dismissal or a dirty challenge on one of ours goes unpunished etc or when we're playing a top four side which is arrogant really!.. I reckon most Can't be arsed v Sunderland cos of the it's only Sunderland mentality.

Whilst I'm having a moan I'll question how hungry are we all?.. none of us thought we'd see City win anything so I kinda understand those who are content but for me I see it like we have a shit load of money a manger who can attract the best players in the world so let's have it, the 6-1 and aguero moment will never be forgotten but let's move forward lets win as many cups as possible and make the rags even more miserable and whilst we're doing it sing a few fucking songs.

For most La Liga games the Atmosphere in the Nou Camp is non existent. Shed loads of empty seats and thousands of neutral day trippers and tourists

I was actually surprised that the atmosphere wasn't a bit more energised and that the Pep songs not yet started to take off but only the first game. Thought that the first twenty we good. Here's the thing we as fans are going to have change as well. The passing game will lead to a lull when we are not attacking in full flow. We are also going to need to adapt to keep the noise levels up. I know a lot didn't like the Poznan and maybe it has had its day but it got the crowd going. Thought the Pep flags looked good today.
