Cityitis is still a huge part of the psyche of the fanbase. The fans just dont go to the game expecting everything to go well, to anything like the same extent as say Unitel or Liverpool fans. Whenever we're in a bad run there's always that sense of impending doom about the place.

This is modern football, not the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Get used to it.

The Atmos in my front room was chirpy.......grim.

Yesterday wasnt great, but every game isnt going to be amazing. Im in 115 and it felt like every time the crowd started to get going we gave the ball away or misplaced a pass that just killed it. I missed the Everton game, but the Bounrnmouth atmosphere was fantastic. There definitely seems an obsession with atmosphere. Some games it amazing, some its poor, bit like the team really. You could tell from the first 10 minutes what the team were like and that rubs off on the crowd.

Before I begin, I understand this post may offend some and I want to apologise in advance.

Watching the Southampton game back last night and around the time of Stones' ruled out goal, player shouts were clear as day and the referee whistle was heard echoing around the ground.
I couldn't help but think that was the flattest a Premier League game has sounded.
Of course, I only had to go back a previous week to the Everton game where I thought the same.
An excellent performance being greeted by an overwhelming flatness from our part.
The 1894 Group are excellent.
They bring fantastic visuals and try their best to generate a buzz, but that can only go so far with the constant pessimism in the terraces.
Backwards passes greeted with sighs and calls for a more direct, Stoke approach are becoming an increasing concern.
BlueMoonRising TV is one of my favourite fan mediums and I check it as often as a new video permits.
In the past 4 day there's been a a guy asking for Txiki to be sacked and the board restructured.
This is the same board that was the main driving point in Peps arrival.
Another video yesterday had a fan quick to jump into the 'I never wanted Pep in the first place' camp.
I understand fan views DO NOT represent BMR so this is no slight on them, I understand that everyone is entitled to an opinion and I also understand that we don't all enjoy possession football.
However, I find it very concerning that 9 games into a PL season (which we sit top of) that we already have fans with that sort of attitude.
Pessimism is something which spreads round the ground very quickly and before too long those boo's at half time will be directed at the team and not the referee.

We've recently been to Celtic Park and witnessed one of the best atmospheres in Europe (IMO).
If anyone believes the ability of that Celtic XI alone pushed them over the line then you need to sit down and have word.
I've been in that ground half empty, drenched in rain and and managed by Ronny Deila whilst the Green Brigade still manage to create a real buzz about the place.

Generating an atmosphere works both ways.
The players put on a show, we respond, and vise versa.
We are playing some of the best football seen at City in my lifetime so why aren't we as fans doing our part?
Ultimately results are everything, I get that and trying to avoid going through the cliche list... they will come.
Get behind the team, be patient, get off David Silvas back for not shooting and try adopt a more open mentality to this completely new approach to our play.

Queue the, 'I paid for this seat and I'll do whatever I like' brigade.

Justin Bieber moaning about noisy Manchester stadia, you moaning about quiet ones. When will the madness end?

I was there and the atmosphere was crap, again, and the booing, which is nothing new for a City crowd, disgraceful. That said, I don't go to matches to sing, probably a bonus for those around me as my singing is truly awful, but I did pipe up on a couple of C'Mon City's.

The performance of the players didn't help and dissatisfaction was certainly understandable and I walked away muttering unpleasantaries about the players involving fecal matter and bricks and mortar; however, I don't believe in booing the team you support.

Not sure what the answer is but the players showing the mentality Pep wants consistently would help and it is surely time to allow safe standing areas.

Hope the crowd in Birmingham are more respectful to Justin tonite.

When the crowd started to sing , he told them to be quiet

I was there at Parkhead, but you’re not comparing like for like. Judge Celtic when they’re playing Kilmarnock at 1:30 on a Sunday.

As for the ETIHAD, the atmosphere is always better when we’re losing, but starting to improve. It was the same yesterday, and in my experience it’s the same at all the other grounds.
