You among others are and will continue to hold the club back! The club NEEDS the fans in Europe! Going to away games experiencing hostile atmosphere is incredible!

Us on the other hand, sure we don't give a fuck about Europe! Just boo the anthem, turn up against Swansea instead ffs!
 
Pep seems to have most things worked out. I will let him tell us what is best for the team/Club all day.

You'll have to explain a bit more how I'm holding the club back when I go to every home game and majority of European aways? Try and keep it short though as I can see you don't normally post much.

The same fixture last year got a 41K attendance. The fact that the 3rd tiers were closed to sales means that we weren't going to beat that figure this year, and it may even have been a few thousand lower, which at first glance is surprising given the high the team is on at the moment.

But a couple of good points were made in the pre-match thread (or it might have been the one about the 3rd tiers not being available):

First, University hasn't started yet so we are likely to be down on the sale of tickets to students

Second, maybe a bigger factor, because all the season's PL games have been made available for sale means that some occasional match goers might have already spent their available resources on securing PL tickets for the games they want to go to later in the season.

If we keep playing like we did last night we will surely get more bums on seats though, it was great.

The last paragraph is very true. The dross we were served up last season didn't help.

To repeat what I've said in the past, as soon as I am reimbursed the £800 we lost over Moscow I'll gladly stop booing, until then my back is turned during the anthem and I'll continue to boo. Sorry Pep.

City could have sorted that too had they wanted to. They chose not to. How much would it have cost them? Peanuts.

Once he's been here a few more months,he will be saying what a great set of fans we are,not that he doesn't see it at present,but when a daft bastard journalist comes out with an idiotic question,he will stand to our defence,seen it happen before,and will happen with Pep as well.

He will soon realise that we are the best fans in the world,as well as the best team,perfect marriage

Pep doesn't seem to dish out praise that easily.

To all those saying stop booing the anthem I'd like to say one thing:

Go fuck yourselves you pathetic pricks.

Let's just remember why we're doing it specifically. It's for a group of people who spent time and not inconsiderable money going to a game they were sold tickets & travel for and weren't allowed to watch because of the high-handed attitude of UEFA. And nor were they compensated one penny, either by the club (who after all took their ticket money and didn't refund it) or UEFA. So when I boo I think about those guys I know, real fans not some of you plastic armchair ones, who lost a few hundred quid they'd spent to follow City.

And don't forget that this is an organisation that's shafted us in every way at every turn and still comes up with new ways to do so.

The one way we have to express our displeasure and to publicly shame them is to boo their stupid, arrogant "anthem" while the whole world is listening and watching.

The message about their shameless venality is getting through as well with the smaller associations voting in a real outsider as president. Who's to say that the booing played no part in that?

So Pep (who has managed two of the favoured clubs don't forget) should worry about managing the team and not stick his nose in to matters that concern the fans.

This ^^^^^^^^^^ Maybe apart from the last line
 
He's right...stop booing..we've made our point..anybody wants to carry on booing I would say are very immature and childish..he's also right about filling it up..the football we are watching is first class which deserves full houses.

Is the correct answer. We are not the cringing serfs that other clubs seem to attract.

Oh they care...that is why they discussed it and were considering fining us at one point for doing it. It is a corrupt organisation with an ex rag at the helm who are still trying to fix the revenue and advantages in favour of the old cartel.

They weren't really though were they. The ref put it in his match report, which means they have to acknowledge/look into it. They were never considering fining us.
Plus, it's not even the same guy at the helm anymore.
 
If he's as powerful as they say at the club he should be banging on Soriano's office door and telling him to cut ticket prices for real fans who cant afford paying £200 a month. Offset that by setting up a tourists section and charge them the offset along with the so called premiums.

They might not but the fact remains, UEFA are fully aware as will major sponsors be and its embarrassing for them and it annoys them as borne out by the fact they wanted to sanction us (again) not that long back.

They didn't want to sanction us for it at all, unless you believe everything in the papers....they were obliged to look into it as it was in a ref's match report, that's it.
