I Was Wrong

[Timmmmahhhh]

All last week I would post "it's a friendly, people will choose not to go, why do people get wound up by it?" and stuff along those lines.

I thought there would eventually be a near sell out of our allocation.

I was wrong. It was embaressing, there were hundreds of empty seats, particularly in the upper tier.

Not really sure where I intended on going with this thread.

Oh, the train home was a bitch as well.

it really wasnt that bad

Why is it embarrasing mate-You are obviously getting grief off a load of rags....MMMMM lets see....times are quite tough,people have kids and childcare issues,summer holidays. I didn't gobecause I am saving my dosh for europe away despite the fact money isn't the deciding factor for myself-my young children are.

There were some big holes in the top tier. Maybe 3,000 empty seats, but just wish we were playing tomorrow to get the whole day out of my system.

I liked Vincent Kompany's reaction to the defeat and performance. Worth dwelling on the fact that despite not playing to our potential their keeper was by far the busier and we did look dangerous going forward

Yaya Toure had his worst game in a City shirt. The more he tried the worse it got. But I am sure we will go back to put it right, and Swansea will feel the wrath. Even if Dzeko scored a reat goal, his game does not suit our style of play - that for me is the biggest problem

Having slept on it it, I have to say it was worse than I thought yesterday.

The second half was frankly embarrassing and more importantly non of the players could give a shit about the fans paying out their hard earned to go all the way to Wembley to watch them play like drains.

Mancini had a day off to be honest with team selections poor reading the game, yaya shouldn't start (a) pre-season injury (b)Ramadan
there was a lots empty seats but so what, noticed Sky zoomed over lower tier rags china>town<>

the club dropped a bollock trying to sell the tickets on line, i bet loads sold when they opened up the ticket office to walk ups.
add the cost of hotels/travel and an expensive season looming it was always going to be differcult to sell out, i dont care shite is spewed but the rags did'nt sell out and it was full of tourists as it was, all living round the corner from wembley.

city themselves were dire, every one of them (bar barry) were dire, including the manager.

wake up call? you'd better fucking believe it.

It speaks volumes for the potential during the season to go two nowt up, lose to another bizarre goal in the dying seconds, and for FatScouseGrannyShagger to say they gave us a football lesson. If this was bad then someone is gonna cop it this season.

this ^^^

and the rags have pace and width to burn. i`m just concerned that this further adds to there "we are unbeatable" mind set and our "they are better than us".

how much more do we have to spend or how much more time is need to instil a winning mentality into our team so we can take on the top four toe to toe. this withering back into a shell is pissing me off.

back 5 played well for 89 minutes if hart didn't have to make a save

You are right about the ticketing

And I'd be surprised if more than 500 United fans went from manchester

First Utd colours in car spotted South of Leicester. Once again the motorways and trains out of london (we were parked North of London) were devoid of utd

Still more than at their end of season parade, they have nowt to crow about.

As for the game, yesterday was simply a lesson in what our fitness levels should be like, we have work to do ahead of Swansea.

I wasn't/am not getting grief off anyone. I completly understand why people couldn't go but I found the amount of empty seats around me embaressing. I'm not having a pop at anyone that didn't go, I just thought, and would of liked, there to be a lot more.

On another not, similar to what was mentioned, there were very few United fans on the Stockport to Wembley train at 8.14.
