Quit the lies. That is what they do. Their ground was full, and their season ticket holders do Not have to go to League Cup games. Champions League and FA Cup ties are chargeable but they can opt of League Cup and Europa League games.
Their ground was full because they are still buzzing over the return of Ronaldo. If we'd have signed Messi we'd have been buzzing too. However, there's more to football than having an excited fanbase.
This current discussion started because imo City got a good crowd for Leipzig of c.48k imo with no away fans and it was reported as 38k, and that will be used against us for years, and then Parker needlessly criticised Pep for a slight he never made or intended.
