madras Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 This'll go down like a s**** sarnie considering I wasn't there tonight but the atmosphere didn't come over too brilliant tonight, which surprised me. I was there when we finished 5th and though we lost 2-0 to them in our penultimate match, there were long stretches of City possession where the atmosphere was bloody fantastic. Whistling, jeering, basically anything to try and put them off. It was so intimidating. Thought it might be the same tonight tbh. Maybe the difference between being there and not (I wasn't there tonight or on Saturday fwiw). Sometimes the atmosphere is ok at the ground but doesn't come over on the tele, sometimes it's the other way round. I do remember that game though( the 0-2 at the end of the season) and it was one of the better atmospheres that season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been to a handful of games this season but I thought it was a surprisingly good atmosphere. It certainly was a step up from Saturday and the stadium definitely sounded like it was almost full, despite the missing few thousand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Aye that 2-0 loss was a day of celebration tbh, even managed to applaud the opposition for winning the title. Nerves would have been awful tonight. Sounded alright second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gomez Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Was working, so I only saw the 2nd half, but we look like a team that knows what it's doing for the first time in years. It's not overly pretty, but we seem to be defending as team so much better than before. Colback and Tiote were both good and Sissoko did a good job of pressuring the ball and providing an outlet. What a difference a manager and a bit of time can make. I just hope we can reproduce this away from home and that it's not too late. I'm more worried about losing Rafa than relegation itself, as we're nvever goign to get better under Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Just back from the match, canny game, awful linesman, heart breaking the thought of not keeping Rafa, and I saw the best player in the Premier league tonight, Pep Guardiola will build his whole team around De Bruyne next season and they will be breath taking.

joeyt Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yeah atmosphere was really good tonight, obviously some nerves, but nights like this at SJP where the home fans are furious towards the opposition and the ref are class when we get a good result Kompany described the atmosphere as hostile in his post match interview. He loves SJP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Louise Taylor man The left-back delivered an incisive dead ball but Newcastle could surely have done better than permit Agüero a free header. Barely believing his luck, the striker – who was a yard or two offside – duly registered his 100th Premier League goal for City and the 22nd of the season. Thats because he was offside you daft bint Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I know it was a mile offside but another goal conceded from a totally avoidable free kick. Absolutely infuriating, particular given that Cisse had the chance to win a similar FK a couple of mins before but didn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoywhonder Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Louise Trout-Horse Taylor is a mackem scribe writing for the accuracy-phobic sh*tstirrers-supreme Guardian. 90+2 mins: The home side continue to push, and will now do so without Perez, who will be replaced by Ayoze Perez, though he doesn’t seem in a hurry to go. http://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2016/apr/19/newcastle-united-v-manchester-city-premier-league-live 'nuff said.

Astroblack Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Watching the Sky Sports punditry of tonight and I gotta say, I like Henry. He talks He talks as a footballer instead of going into cliche mode, the way others do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I reckon you can tell a lot about peoples football knowledge by how they rate various pundits. For example if you think Merson talks sense and makes a good point then you probably know about as much as my two year old niece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 1 point is not useless...but close. We were unlucky...the lads deserved to win. Annoying linesman didn't help us...how could he not see that offside...mad! At least morale is getting up and key players have stepped. It will be a nerve wrecking month. Im just afraid the Rafa appointment came 1 month too late. McClaren would most definitely not have turned this around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whistling, jeering, basically anything to try and put them off. It was so intimidating. Thought it might be the same tonight tbh. I think we've forgotten how to do things like that TBH, for now I'll settle for some loud cheering when we do something good. I'm only going by how it sounded on the tv, but the crowd seemed very tense. They got behind the team when we were attacking and applauded good play, but every time there was a mistake or a piece of poor play there was this loud, angry groan. I know football crowds have the tendency to go for emotional extremes, but this was very pronounced. The team looks better organised and in better spirits, but were still not as relaxed as you'd like. There were several instances of players going for the same ball, or leaving it for one another, which are sure signs of a team playing on the edge of their nerves.

Crumpy Gunt Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The Man City away support that used to pack the away section and regularly chant 'where were you when you were shite?' were amazingly missing en-masse this evening. 2 points from safety - it was a fair few more two games ago after the Norwich game. Tiote has been a huge influence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I didn't get to see or hear the match, but it sounds like we are at least fighting. The worry is that Benitez has been brought in far too late and that will be Ashley/Charnley's undoing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiote has been a huge influence. Aye strange that the self proclaimed best and coolest fans in football filled less than half their allocation despite being in the CL semis and top four of the PL. Maybe they preferred the days when they were a "Manchester club" and not some rich Arab's plaything, despite the plastic success they've had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
