Semi finals (City v Real and A Madrid v Bayern)

[Saddleworth2]

I hope we are perceived as a fan base with principles willing to stand up against all the shite we've taken from UEFA and threaten a hostile atmosphere to any visiting team who comes to play us.

Now we all know its nothing like that in reality but I'd like it to appear that way on TV anyway.

I understand that and the intentions are honourable. I just believe, having discussed with a range of non blues that the majority:
1) have no idea why we are booing
2) perceive as a negative that the fans would boo a competition we are doing rather well in. Bit like slagging off your host at a party
3) sweep this into the general media fed negative bias against city
4) those that do connect it with UEFA, think it's a futile gesture that no other club does

You could say, who gives a toss what non blues think which is a valid argument, but bearing in mind the clubs objective to reach out globally to new fans and grow the city brand, I think continuing this throws us in a negative light and does little to embarrass those that it is aimed at.

No game is easy now but I'm glad Barca are out. They seem to have a knack of beating us fairly easily.

Whatever happens now we have done well in this and will be much the better for it in seasons to come. Pity Nasri can't play

1) have no idea why we are booing -you say that but it has been reported around europe why we do it and even barca and bayern fans have adopted it
2) perceive as a negative that the fans would boo a competition we are doing rather well in. Bit like slagging off your host at a party - Pecieved by whom? - we have had possitive comments over this in media
3) sweep this into the general media fed negative bias against city - As above generally press have supported us on this except the most biased
4) those that do connect it with UEFA, think it's a futile gesture that no other club does - So futile other clubs have adopted it and we have been generally been applauded for sticking to our guns

The argument uefa couldn't care so why bother is not the point, then why protest over anything in life may as well lie down and never complain, uefa pissed us off, we let them know that every game. whether they ignore it or not we are and should show our displeasure at their bent organisation.

I'd have Real Madrid. Good going forward but looking at the highlights of the Wolfsburg game their defending is rash and their keeper aint great either.

Does anybody know what allocation of tickets the three other semi finalist give to the opposition?

Just checked footballtripper.com and they say:

Real = 3800
Atletico = 3000
Bayern = 3500

I think Paris went to general sale on just over 2000 tickets but can't see that happening with this. Hoping it makes it down to 11000 points!

Cheers, i'm hoping it makes it down to 10,500!
