Fulham (H) - FA Cup Round 4 Post-Match Thread

Good win, spectacular 2nd goal.

apart from that, the vile dipper scum loving tory cvnts from the dirty beeb have successfully made city fans turn against each other and the manager; the rest of media owned by the actual british PM (aye, uncle Rupert) have joyfully joined following suit in slagging the club, fans and manager for a gate of a fewer short of 40k.
don't fall for it.
 
I hope one of our fan groups, supporters clubs, representatives, points out that it is all well and good slagging off our fans, but as a club 3 weeks you chose to deny 4500 fans the opportunity to watch the side in arguably the biggest game of the season

People are whinging because Pep seems to be whinging. Of course there will be a better turnout on Wednesday. That's why a lot of people weren't there today. Hardly rocket science and for a clever man he should realise that.

He didn't appear to be whinging to me and I think he was far more focused on having people come and really get behind the team on Wednesday because he knows that tie is not won yet and his biggest enemy is complacency on the pitch and, to a lesser degree, in the stands.

If the stadium had been packed yeasterday and the fans had been baying for blood rather than offering up the occasional half-hearted "Com'n City", we might have seen some more urgency on the field...

He criticised his team yesterday so why should he big up the supporters?

I'm sure BTW, he knows of the possible reasons for people not being there, including Fulham not being a big draw but he wouldn't say that.

The players are professional but a full ground driving them on can only help. It was disappointing to see so many empty seats although we know the reason why.

I listened to what Pep said too and I think he is just giving a footballing answer. For a coach producing wonderful football it must be disappointing not to play in front of a full atmospheric stadium but that's not to say there aren't reasons.

Yup, the guy has given the supporters a team that is the first in Europe to score 100 goals this season.

Pep didn't slag the fans off. The club hasn't slagged the fans off.

So it’s ok to slag off the fans, even though he might understand the reasons the crowd was low (is 39k actually low??) but it’s not ok to mention the reasons? How very balanced and decent of him

I didn't hear the interview, but reading Twitter and here, I got the strong impression he had.

And there we have, IMO, one of the great problems of the media / social media; plus plenty of supporters on fourms that are undeniably reactionary.

If anyone needs to be got at it is the BBC for asking him about that rather than sticking to football.
