Man city the chealsea of the north apparently

[Blue Tooth]

Never left a ground before the final whistle...never will...don't get it to be honest...you pay to go see a match..why leave.
I was sat behind the goal when Dickov scored becasue I never give up believing.
I though we might still nick a draw on weds.
Mind you...I'm mad as a box of frogs ;)

hello simon you fucking bellend

Why is he a bellend?

Is it because he picked up on the fact that our fans are not all they are cracked up to be?

The same fans who left in droves when Arteta scored.

The same fans who were chanting the name of none other than Jose Mourinho when we got beat against Stoke in the cup.

The same fans who say that the players have got to give us, 'the fans', something to shout about when we are mainly quiet for 90 minutes.

The same fans who show no humility at all with our new found riches.


We need to reduce the capacity of COMS, with only those who know and love City, and are willing to stay there through thick and thin taking up the seats.

Well, we had just gone 2-0 down to Everton with 6 minutes to go. Surely people could understand the utter dejection and frustration at the circumstances, and in turn... they would leave. I've only ever left one game before the end, and it was way way way before the final whistle. I left our home game vs. Leicester City with 20 minutes to go, after they went 3-0 up with a cracking goal. I applauded the goal seeing as it was a superb goal. Me and my Mum (and a bunch of people around us) stood up and left. But that is the only time I've ever left before the final whistle, but it won't be the last time, due to me being a vein-throbbing idiot sometimes. Although, if City's fortunes change the way we're hoping to, I won't have to leave early... ever.

didn't see them talk about OT emptying when Liverpool were 3-1 up, and the red seats rapidly starting appearing after only 82 minutes.

it's a shame, they missed the liverpool 4th aswell.

 

[BlueRockape]

It makes me sad to read this but it is true i only get to go maybe three times a yr but the change since i went on a regular basis is dire we are carrying some shit fans quite a lot realy.
It is probably the reason why i don't put more time effort and money into going so sad we used to be beyond reproach but no more

Sanctamoious bastards! 300 mile round trip to go to home matches, inluding many mid-week ones. Season tickets for the family for years. Who are you to criticise?

because he's a fucking lazy journo who's just read the threads of people who come moaning about are support. If that was a saturday most that went might of stayed but being a night game had alot to do with it. we all no the atmosphere will never be good at coms because of the way it's built and how many times do you think that twats bin to coms to comment. Just another sly dig at us.

are fans are just the same as any other clubs would be in the same situation. We've always had expectations and now there higher and so they should be.

as for 'we'll buy your club and burn it down' it always seem to shut other fans up for a bit

[size=150[b]]Are fans who left Everton defeat early turning Man City into the Chelsea of the north?[/b][/size]


Roberto Mancini-Manchester-City-Everton-Premier-League cropped

Manchester City fans sing ’34 years and we’re still here’ as a riposte to the jibes about how long it’s been since the Blues last lifted a trophy.

Well, before the end of Wednesday night’s game against Everton they most certainly weren’t there.

After Mikel Arteta’s classy strike had put the visitors 2-0 up, Eastlands emptied quicker than an alcopop in the hands of a chav.

I was sat next to a high-ranking City official during the game and let’s just say the mass exodus was met with much more than a disbelieving shake of the head.

It would be interesting to know what kind of message was relayed back to Sheikh Mansour in Abu Dhabi – not about the result, but about the reaction of fans that are supposed to be above reproach.

In the last two years he has spent £200million building a team good enough to transform the club into big hitters.

This was City’s first home defeat of the season, bringing to an end the last unbeaten run in the Premier League.

Roberto Mancini’s team had not played on home soil for more than a month, during which time they had won at Chelsea and Fulham and drawn at Sunderland.

This was the game that could have put them into fourth place.

Now City supporters won’t be the first fans to opt for an early exit when the game seems up for their team - and they won’t be the last.

But as thousands headed into the east Manchester night, it was as if they had given up on their team.

Remember, these were the same fans that used to fill Maine Road when City were playing in the old third division.

Almost 50,000 of them went to Wembley for a play-off final.

They have cheered the likes of Gerry Creaney and Lee Bradbury and endured the football played by the teams of Alan Ball, Frank Clark and Stuart Pearce.

And they have always done it with good grace.

City are still the third-best supported team in the Premier League, with only Manchester United and Arsenal boasting higher average attendances.

But the atmosphere at most games is muted. Supporters now seem to wait for the team to give them something to shout about rather than being the 12th man they used to be.

The moans and groan for a misplaced pass are louder and more widespread than they’ve ever been.

One chant aimed at opposition fans – ‘we’ll buy your club and burn it down’ – was funny at first. Now it only illustrates how humility has turned into arrogance.

These should heady days. City haven’t been here since the mid-1970s and now the future is theirs for the taking.

But it seems some fans aren’t happy unless they’ve got something to moan about.

The last thing we need is a northern version of Chelsea.

Fking spot on, i sit next to a bloke every game who comes from Leicester every game, in his 60's and he never leaves before the end, yet we get f**kers who leave early every game no matter what the score is because they want to get home, why fking bother in the first place, w***ers. We are spoilt beyond beleif by an owner who has spent a fortune and the vast majority cant be arsed SUPPORTING the team, fk me we have lost 5 league games all season, normally we are fighting relegation or pushing for promotion at this time of year.It makes me despair at times. RANT OVER.

Those of us who have been around for a while are the types that don't let a home defeat to Everton shake our faith. We've had worse than that over the years. I don't recognise this journalistic view of city at all.
