When the Rags were beating everyone Keane made his famous prawn sandwich brigade quote, gave us a few laughs in between defeats. Let them have their fun, they are getting beat at weekend.

I was slowly getting pissed last night but at some point in the game our lot were singing " it should have been 10, fuck off back to London"
But the "fuck" was very low.
Now I don't believe our fans deliberately lowered their collective voices for fear of upsetting someone.
They turned the mikes down. They know the songs and they obviously have someone on the 'dump' button.
I thought the crowd were subdued until that point.

Oh and while I'm at it.

News on radio on Sunday.

Liverpool play later and if they win will go into the top 3 with leaders???? Man United and second place Chelsea...

On the same points!!!

But when they (f c scum) keep up with us they are joint top!

I fucking enjoyed last night and the night before!!

 

[WestGorton]

I'd be amazed if that is correct, it was a really good turn out last night with the only significant empties in the CB 3rd tier, I was expecting it to be closer to 50k.

Me too. It looked high forties where I sit.

 

[samarasra]

Hope it was that but he's had a pop before after the Fulham Cup game when 40k wasn't that bad a turn out. Just gives fuel to the haters out there. I like Pep and his football (be mad not to)but he doesn't half piss me off sometimes.

Sad that a manager should be criticised for daring to ask our supporters for their support. Sad that our supporters should be so sensitive about The Sun mocking us or giving fuel to haters that they take offence at Pep making "A rallying cry from Pep Guardiola".

 

[Bozo]

Yep, fucking annoying comments by Pep. Was buzzing about last night 'til I read 'em this morning.

Same here. Had a great night, thought the atmosphere was decent in 211. Woke up to the usual media piss-taking and some very out of touch comments from Pep. Why fucking bother?

 

[john blue]

Fortunately fewer and fewer are buying the papers…. The Suns circulation is dropping like a stone…

Hope so, how that tosser custis gets paid for the garbage he comes out with., He must be on £4-50 an hour.

It's very hard to "Turn up" when over the last few decades football fans have been told to sit down and shut up, you create a safe space and you want a rip roaring tide of tribal noise.

It isn't going to happen.

Pep seems to be out of touch, it was a midweek match and it's bloody expensive specially for the out of town blues, put the ticketing fiasco and transport situation on that and you have a perfect storm.

He's speaking from a position of privilege, he doesn't get us. I support Manchester City not the players or the manager or the owners(I'm not saying that I dislike the people who work for the club that's different), the fans who make the club.

Not Pep's fault fans were told to sit down. Fans were never told to "shut up" they are doing that by their own choice.
"He's speaking from a position of privilege, he doesn't get us." "Pep seems to be out of touch" sounds like a post from the Daily Fail. He's speaking from a position of being in the presence of K38 + supporters who at times made less noise than 3,800, would you prefer if he was the only manager in the world not wanting more/louder support for the team.

How do you work out how to shoehorn the Daily Mail into my post? Give yourself a wobble pal.

By simple comparison. Thanks for the life changing advice.

I thought it was just my hearing at first but given you've highlighted it too I guess not, but BT were at it all night turning the volume up and down, played fuckin havoc with my ear trumpet !

You go last night? No different than most games so I'm not sure where your less noise than 3,800 comes from?

I would expect anyone waving a rag shirt would have got lumps of coal thrown at them.

Or ran over

I replied earlier to this and now I have seen the video as last night I didn't after getting home from the game. My view has not changed that blues are being suckered by the media because of attendances as that is the only thing they can do to have a dig. Personally I interpreted Peps words as a rallying call not a condemnation of last nights crowd. I really think if you took offence at his words last night you have certainly interpreted his words different to me. Pep would never knowingly criticise supporters and he didn't last night. My advice to blues is don't fall into the media trap, they are hurting and you can read and see this in the ridiculous match reports and red propaganda they churn out.


PS. The railway children is an outdated story of no interest to todays kids and would not regain its popularity if they cast the "class of 92" as the children, train driver and every other outdated stereotype of English person in the original. Not sure where they would cast the pisscan though;-)

The fat controller freak?

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

I was at the game last night and really enjoyed it. I wasn’t sure if I could make it until yesterday morning though. I find it odd calling out blues for not going. There are loads of reasons people might not be able to go. Work commitments, midweek travel logistics, cost (even if the ticket was only £17.50 some people have a very tight budget), ticket issues (I’ve noticed an elderly lady who was at every game for years missing because she’d have to travel from Cheadle before each game to get a paper ticket).

In my opinion this is a storm in a teacup, regarding Pep’s comments. It’s up to City and UEFA to provide a product that is appealing and easy to access. Market forces will dictate.

Pep pleaded for the crowd to show up and be passionate on Saturday and they will. They will because it’s the Premier League and a Saturday 3pm kick off. If I had to choose between two fixtures I’d be going Saturday.

Good points. Regarding the champions League the majority of fans know they have zero chance of getting a ticket if we get to the final no matter how many games they attend. This is often because UEFA will play it in a stadium with a low capacity. Even if the stadium has a high capacity the actual clubs allocation of tickets is paltry.

 

[GortonBlue62]

Spot on no offence was intended don't be fooled by the rag media.

He's damaged the club with his snide comments.

There will be a full house against Southampton irrespective of anything he has to say.

If he wanted to criticise the attendance last night he should have said so.

His buddies who run the club share a lot of the blame by complicating buying and transferring tickets to the point where many fans just gave up.

He really gets on my tits. Pep, win the CL and fuck off. The next manager will have sufficient funds and support to keep the club trundling along. We might even get lucky and get a manager who does give a fuck about City.

I'd prefer him to use his influence with his mates, who run the club, and find solutions to the problems fans face. Problems they have created.

And I'd prefer him to stop giving ammunition to the club's enemies.

 

[A590 blues]

I was there last night 9 goals decent crowd and personally thought atmosphere was ok .
Just heard Peps comments sounded to me like he was asking for a 12th man on Saturday...what is wrong with that ?
If bingo says this he's lorded as passionate.
But he ho why write about a team that had scored 16 home goals in 3 games when you can ask arsehole questions to a man who speaks good English but enough to be misquoted and they love it .
City 3 nil Saturday still no praise expected.
Onwards and upwards Fook em all.

 

[kit's blue]

I couldnt give a shit what is said or written by the media or others. I love City , the way we play the stadium and training and academy facilities all fill me with pride . Everything is so much better than ever . Love City ignore the haters.
