Get behind Pep and City for the last 9 league games.

[Marvin.]

Today was dispiriting. The crowd was as quiet as I can remember in a long time.

I watched Pep's press conference after the game. He looked really nervous. He sounded emotional and anxious. I feel we are near the end of an era but that it is not yet gone. It's now time for us to play our part and return the favour to Pep and the team for all the joy they have given us over the last few years.

The next home game is Leicester at home. How we feel about that will depend on the FA Cup game but let's stop feeling entitled to a Premier League title winning team, and behave as Manchester City supporters. Let's intervene in our season and make the Etihad a fortress for the last 2 months of this season. Our football club has been under attack for years. The fans have looked helplessly on but now I think it's time that we make our voices heard for Pep and for City.

We need to do something now because this season is in the balance and we have 50 thousand voices who are currently neutered. They needn't be.

Indeed!

I hope today was the last throws of the attitude of us being a once great team playing poorly with everyone disappointed… from now on turning to the realism that we are not a great team anymore and the team need the backing of the fans as there are lots of young players, lots of inexperienced players, lots of new players and even players who barely speak a word of English who need their fans behind them.

Well said Marvin.

We also have tens of thousands of the best fans in British football. We are currently punching below our weight. We need to be the 12th man.

This is a timely and valid post.

1894 state that they are an atmosphere group. We need to hear evidence of this.

The vocal backing of all fans is crucial.

This guarantees us winning then?

We are watching a sinking ship at the moment feeling the pain but just passively looking on. Let's make the Leicester game special for City and Pep no matter what happens at Bournemouth.

It isn't down to one group.

No it doesn't. But lets show the club the value of 50,000 City fans. I want to enjoy my club and be proud. I want the Etihad to be a wall of sound. It can be. It's up to us. It might not be enough, but we should try and it will be fun.

You kidding?

Half the forum wants him out, judging from what i've read. All those trophies, all those memories, yet one poor season and it's "sayonara" and "Pep's the problem". I swear I don't recognise this fanbase anymore.

But i'll still be here, cheering them on, cheering on Pep, no matter where we end up this season. Because it's "City til I die" not "City until we have a bad run of results that might mean we miss out on CL football, and my sensitivities can't handle that scenario. In which case i'll be looking for the next manager to take over because I live for progression."

Pep and City need the end of the season right now, I feel the longer it goes on the worse it will get.
It all feels like after the lord mayor's show and the clean-up begins and the horse shit is bagged up

It's not the losing that hurts the most, it's the waving of the white flag and giving up on the season,
Fight the good fight and fans will go home happy even if we lose, But take them for granted and fools.

Play some of the EDS and Youth players that way you will see fight and hunger at least
