The holy trinity for me, Drink, Sing and Swear !But do you sing Dave?
Touchy. He has asked for a good atmosphere - something we all want. It was as flat as a fart in the first half last night. Boo all you want but the media were talking about that well before Pep said anything last night.There was a lot to take in during Peps little speech last night, so I resisited the temptation to reply, but let it set in.
It felt like a coded message to the squad in many areas, feels something isn't right and he wants more urgency from his players.
However, having a go at the fans? With the greatest respect Pep, you can fuck right off on that one.
Atmosphere this season has been terrific apart from just very recently and I feel the reason for that has been the turgid 'pass pass pass until reaching the edge of the opponents box and doing fuck all' type of game that Pep has been playing, doubling up with a defense that seem to concede a goal after every opposition attack. Sometimes it's like watching a shit game of chess.
Last night, I hate to say it, but we started to play like we used to with Sane in the team, or the Dippers from a couple of years ago, speed, pace and on the break and the crowd responded. Exciting football.
Pep should remember that over the past few games, some of his decision making has been terrible, we've talked about it in the standa, but never called him out directly.
Booing at half time? If I'm paying £70 a ticket to watch our defense implode yet again, conceeding 2 quick goals or watch the ref cheating us, then damn right, I'll boo if I want to.
You want passionate fans? City have done their best to price us out over the last decade, chasing the football tourist who spend all match in their half and half scarves on their phones capturing content. Not sure those new advertising boards add much atmosphere or noise either.
So Josep, next time you go on a rant, call out PigMOL, call out VAR, call out the shit refs, call out the pathetic timewasting we endure from shit teams when they come to ours, call out the teams who constantly foul us, call out the ticket prices, call out the constant expansion of the exec areas, etc, stop calling out your fans.
Thanks for giving the gimps at BT and Sky a rod to beat our back with.
That's because of the flat football we witnessed. you could see everything was half-hearted from level 3 (Rico aside, who had his name sung).Touchy. He has asked for a good atmosphere - something we all want. It was as flat as a fart in the first half last night. Boo all you want but the media were talking about that well before Pep said anything last night.
Of course fans have the right to boo but if we are booing at times like this then heaven help us when things do start to become properly shit ( and one day they will)fans have the right to boo, just like they have a right to celebrate and clap and sing ? if you're not turning up like pep says the players are doing, then sorry, it's not the fans fault ? it's at Peps door lies the truth.
the whole world can see the problem, when players are asked to cover somebody else role in the team you get a problem because they are not uses to playing that role week after week or played that way, I love AKE for playing in that role or putting his hand up and saying I will do that, he wants to play so will do anything to play,
But it's not good for the team because the better teams will hurt you ? boy, do we get punished down the left ? both spurs goals were down to the left side and 3 or 4 more very good chance also,
what does it say about Gomez, who is a left wing back and was signed by pep for that role ? Or the young EDS lads that play on the left wing back, Pep got a very big problem with his Ego and will not say he is wrong about the left side of defence, we have had all summer and this winter transfer to fix it but nothing,
Um . I only watch City games while there usually plenty of blues in there always a good crack !Don’t think he was too chuffed at the fact Cardiff were 2-0 up at the time,but no humouring him,I didn’t go in again
53,088 official attendance out of 53,500 maximum.You are 100% correct. A friend of min (local lad) asked me to buy him a ticket for last night as an additional on my season ticket. Went upstairs 2 weeks ago and was told no I am unable to purchase additional tickets, whilst at the same time 2 really busy tours were taking places all foreign nationals and I am sure if one of them would have asked it would have been fine.
Last night we had 2000 empty seats and I still was not allowed to purchase a ticket for an additional person.
Maybe the manager wants to start taking swipes internally before having a go at the fans.
Pep wants us to become Bayern Munich fans all singing in unison nothing spontaneous.Touchy. He has asked for a good atmosphere - something we all want. It was as flat as a fart in the first half last night. Boo all you want but the media were talking about that well before Pep said anything last night.
