Man City fan lets rip...

[degsy]

You are all over the place.

That picture shows less than 1/4 empty at the very most...so if that applies to the whole ground...the crowd would still be over 40k...which is complete rubbish.

Massive massive red flag on this poster.

Attendance 1 - the number that paid for a seat...whenever they bought it, like STH's.
Attendance 2 - those who actually turned up.
Attendance 2.5 - however many City choose to say...for whatever reason...are there.

Edit; nothing new - EFC were doing similar 50yrs ago...allegedly

Some of the brown nosing of CIty is embarrassing. Particularly when you take into account some of the horrible things plenty of City fans say about our club and Scousers generally over on that vile site Bluemoon.

 

[catcherintherye]

Personal photo from the night - Perhaps more than half full, but marginally. I was aghast by the crowd & even your highlights show it's nowhere near 53K

Come on mate this is ridiculous. You've estimated the ground was less than half full based on your opinion. It's fine to say it looked empty or whatever, but it's quite enough to make out an attendence that is officially counted and verified is wrong, baed upon your singular observations of the game.

This is the stuff I never get with City. I don't like or dislike them, but people seem to lose skills of objectivity around the debate. What happens at City is the same that happens at OT, Anfield, Emirates etc where they officially count ST holders and tickets sold, even if they don't always turn up.

Never been on blue moon, what do they have against us?

25k ?? Sorry mate, thats just not true.

Why would you lie liks this ? The attendance was Man City v WBA 2018 attendance:- 53,241.

And NO way would they just double the real fugire ffs!!!

Boom!

We know mate.

But not a cat in hells chance the actual attendance was 25k....not even 40k, the place was full!!!!

If you look at the highlightes...you cant see any empty seats....just on the odd still picture from reds.

 

[Pabbers]

The amount of trophies they have won since pep came in, is frightening, and the quality in which they win them, is stunning.

I know a load of City fans, and they are proper proper sound lads, happy for them.

just my opinion PPT - but to confirm

- they have paid fines and accepted they were in breach of FFP
- GMP have published figures confirming they over egg attendance
- City have recruited influencers to go to games for free
- their players don’t get the credit or awards their form deserves
- they don’t get the recognition for their achievements in the same way say Man United, or even Liverpool have, which is ridiculous

Aguero has a low profile I think, given he's one of the best strikers in prem history.
I kind of doubt that's down to domestic media suppression of his achievements, though - not every high profile player is marketable as a 'face' of the league (sometimes by choice). I mean maybe he is back in Argentina, like he's the face of football there IDK, but here his level does seem under appreciated.

If you think KDB doesn't get credit or recognition then I don't know what to tell you. Never heard him described as anything other than an elite, world level midfielder - like global squad of 22 stuff.
Saying that, could probably get on bluemoon now and they'd be crying about him like he was Tom Davies.

Just had another look at that photo.
A lot of people appear to be standing up.
That doesn't make sense to be honest.

Dont know what to say on that - let's park it there, I shouldnt have said "half full", but non the less was amazed by the size of the crowd.

 

[This is my name]

Weren't we called the "bank of england" club in the 80s cos we'd spend wedge?

Seems hypocritical to criticise those who spend now but I'm not an expert on that period of our history cos I weren't alive yet hahaha.

But nahh, ffp seems like it's just a swindle to keep tbe top teams at the top and tbe rest uncompetitive. I dno though

It's small time enemy of my enemy type of stuff that should be well beneath our fanbase. Decent Club are City but crying because teams that have had success for years upon years with massive global fanbases get more media coverage than you is laughable. They have gone from Darren Huckerby, Danny Granville and
Georgios Samaras to having the ability to discard 50m players on a whim.

Bluemoon is crammed to the rafters of utter whoppers. Whoppers who have zero ties to ''their'' club other than money spent.

Of course the Love In with United and That Lot also culminated in the "why would Carlo want to manage Everton" line.. same old, same old..

God forbid anyone should ever tell them that EVERTON won more points in Division 1 in the 60s than good old Shankly's (YNWA) Reds, Busby's (Charlton-Law-Best) Boys, Nicholson's (Push and Run, 2 titles in their entire history, Greavsy lead) Spurs, Revie's wonderful (Dirty) Leeds side of the 60s and early 70s, Allison and Mercer's fantastic (one year wonder, Bell-Lee-Summerbee) City side, Swinging London (one title in the 50s) Chelsea boys, The World Cup winning (no title ever) Hammers or even mid table (nothing from 1950-1971 and again until the late 80s) "good old" Arsenal or even Clough's Derby Upstarts but there it is - the best side of the 60s, believe it or not, was boring, TV hating, Harry Catterick's (Ball-Harvey-Kendall-Golden Vision inspired) EVERTON FOOTBALL CLUB

We where once called the Mersey millionaire as well.

@PaulPowersTash you said in an early once one we start winning we get the same treatment as City. We already get that

Sam Allardyce... what more do Everton fans want? He finished 8th and SAVED EVERTON from certain relegation as they where 18th(actually 13th won his 1st game and we went 9th)
Carlo Ancelotti never going there not a chance
Carlo can’t work with poor players

Kloop world class but Ancelotti a good manager(Paul Merson last week)
James us well past it, doesn’t like the weather to cold. Can’t hack the psychicality of the prem(as another horrendous tackle goes in on him and goes unpunished)
Richarlison dives(Salah doesn’t) Richarlison doesn’t defend(most tackles of any forward)

just watch tonight game
