Pep’s Spurs (H) Post-Match Interview

[Weavers run]

Yes I do Karen. Peps called them out more than once. Didsbury Dave has before now and is productive in his ideas for atmosphere. This broke the camels back for me. It’s happening too many times. I’m old school Kippax lad and it wasn’t difficult back in the day to create a noise and it shouldn’t be now. I hope Peps words have a positive effect. Fingers crossed because that team needs us especially when it’s hard to break teams down.

Played badly? We played well. I’ll teach you a song.. we’re shit and we’re sick off it.. sung with gusto and passion by a fed up Kippax when we were really shit. Frank Clarke .. Stevie Coppell..Alan Ball too many managers to mention… oh and Peter Swales.

Out of interest, how many home grounds give consistent, loud support every other week. The answer is nobody. This isn’t the kippax mate, it’s sadly modern day football. Take it for what it is, also us being shit at Maine Road holds no relevance to today. We was shit then and we was sick of it. We are now a top club, with a top manager and unspeakable resources. Being shit well over a decade ago doesn’t mean underperforming now is ok. Let’s lose that small time mentality

FOC’s ?

Clearly you aren't one.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

a big issue for the club right now is how we are being referred. I’d prefer pep directed his ire at that tbh

Yes. It would be great if the club put as much energy into defending and helping our fans instead of throwing us under the bus and encouraging the people who despise us in the media. Perhaps I am in a minority but what Pep said after the match did not motivate me as a supporter in the slightest. I thought it was a lack of respect.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

There was more than 400 seats empty last night mate

Not where I was sitting in East Stand Upper which was packed. I couldn't see many spaces round the stadium.

 

[Citycity76]

Where? I thought it was a better turnout than many predicted. I’ll tell you what though, there was no way 2000 empty as you stated.

Family stand and level 2 seemed pretty empty around 216

Couldnt agree more, big insult to Blues who have followed City for years (include myself) through shit times to be as you say thrown under a bus to the media shitshow.

I cant tell you how angry its made me, I know hes done a great job as manager but he should take a leaf out of Mancinis book on the supporter bond front.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

I booed because we had played badly and made stupid mistakes.

Like Pep, I can accept losing to a better team every day of the week (within reason)

I can't accept half arsed efforts and elimentary mistakes.

I won't accept it from Pep or the players. They are supposedly at the top of their profession and while nobody is perfect, the failings have been on show for the majority of this season.

It means too much to me. Passion comes in all forms, Pep, and I have more than you will ever have for this Club.

Irrespective of how brilliant you are at your job.

Football consumes you?

My love for City consumes me more. Not even in the same postcode.

It has pissed off Michael Owen and other pundits and they are saying we think we're entitled, but its a coming of age for City fans because finally:

We're not going to accept mediocrity anymore!

To the rags and the older blues it was always dreamland (bad/ good). Those boos have made it clear, we don't want a dream, we want normality.

And it terrifies the Rags fans!

We've paid our dues and are not the same club that is okay with 0 goals scored at home for half a season!

Booing this group of players simply shows a lack of intelligence IMHO.

 

[eastmanc]

Just now and again would do.

You bang the drum and I'll get on the megaphone.

 

[WestGorton]

I can remember standing in the Kippax and you could hear someone fart in the Main stand at times.

Agreed. Atmosphere is a myth unless it's a big match in any era at any club in England. Also, that is good because it is not orchestrated by some dick with a megaphone or a drum like in Germany. I don't want to go to line dancing classes.
