I have his city logon and password and can get 3 tickets. Is his your cousin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Man City seemed to have a better and more passionate fanbase when they were in the third tier not so long ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Sad to say it but the Wembley litmus test is the train platform after the game, if we lose heavily and fans start to stream out after 80 minutes only to be greeted by city fans who couldn't be bothered to stay then they've hit the same shit level as utd, Chelsea and arsenal fans and this stuff about being better truer fans is bullshit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 I think the issue is City missed out on a generation that doesnt really follow clubs. A lot of people just follow players case in point Samatta. The 4 big name players in football now are Messi and Ronaldo naturally but then its Neymar and Pogba. City for all its talent dont have a name to bring in fans especially sad when De Bruyne is a billion times better than Pogba and Sterling is better than Neymar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pas5898 Posted February 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2020 I'm going to defend the City fans a bit, they don't have the thousands and thousands of tourist fans like Liverpool and United or the pull of being in London. As a club for how they've done things they are unlikeable. With a fairly "normal" fanbase albeit slightly inflated by success, its hard to afford the extra travel on a school night, trip to wembley then the extra £60-£70 for the Madrid game at home. I struggle to afford Villa as it is, having the extra cup final match has put a dent in this months finances. If I had a champions league game as well (most likely £200+ for 3 tickets) i'd probably have to miss a game or two. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted February 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Hope they get destroyed tonight / in this tie. No I don't like Real Madrid but they are the lesser of two evils in this case. Primarily don't want another British side winning the European Cup, but there's also a small chance that if they get knocked out this season, their ban is (at least partially) upheld and Pep leaves, then the owners might get fed up and they'll return to where they belong. At the same time their expensive lawyers can take the fight to FFP, allowing us to swoop in and fill their void when the time comes.

I can't see UEFA going back on their own ban. I'm interested to know what angle Man City are taking for their defence. From what has been revealed it seems to be pretty cut and dried that they broke the rules. Maybe they will appeal that the punishment is excessive?

Zatman Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) As for tonight i would like an intense game 4-4 lots of drama and rough tackles. Break them emotionally and physically to keep the score down to 2 on Sunday Edited February 26, 2020 by Zatman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very surprised if City managed to get off completely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
