Are City about to create yet more history or are we all noshong off Klopp. Fuck you Sky.

COME ON CITY!!!!!

[mr_nool]

Have a funny feeling Arsenal will fuck up against Everton. That said, still nervous as hell.

Been keeping busy all day, to avoid thinking about the game, but now I'm shitting bricks.

Just tried a couple,of Sky channels to see what the build-up was and it was nothing but a Klopp love-in. Still can’t work out what channel it’s on so will probably watch on an overseas one.

Gollum farewell anti-football line up as predicted. Hammers going for a back five deep block - lumping up occasionally to a couple of sweaty runners. Doku will hold a couple of their defenders down his side and create space on the switch from which we can get a few goals hopefully.

Everton’s form over their last 5 games is immense and I’m sure there’ll want to stuff the points deduction down the cartel clubs throat.

They showed the goalie warming up just now, missing lots of shots . Good omen.

One channel has our game live and their build up is the "115" chorus plus coverage of the Klopp off. Sickening yank media redtop bias as usual.

Wanted to post this yesterday, but..

I asked Microsoft Copilot with Chat GPT4

- What would be the best songs / chants to sing today and when given the circumstances

- To best ensure the most likely positive outcome

- To maximise a positive atomostphere whilist minimising any sense of anxiety that as the "12th man" unsurprisingly suggests does impact player performance

Selecting the right songs to support Manchester City during a match can indeed influence the atmosphere and potentially the players' performance. Based on the information available, here are some suggestions for chants and songs that fans could sing to boost morale and encourage the team, especially during challenging moments in the game:

"Blue Moon" - This iconic song is synonymous with Manchester City and is known to create a spine-tingling atmosphere. It's a classic that reflects the club's heritage and can be sung at any moment to rally the fans and players alike [5].

"City 'Til I Die" - A declaration of lifelong loyalty to the club. This chant is simple yet powerful and can be used to remind the players of the unwavering support they have from their fans [5].

"We're Not Really Here" - A playful chant that suggests City fans are everywhere, supporting their team. It's a good choice for moments when the team needs a reminder of their supporters' presence [5].

"The Best Team in the Land and All the World" - Celebrating Manchester City's accomplishments, this chant can be uplifting when the team needs a boost of confidence [5].

"Boys in Blue" - Although not as widely known, this song has a catchy chorus that fans can easily join in on. It's a good option for creating a sense of unity among the supporters [5].

Regarding the timing of each song, it would depend on the flow of the match. For instance, "Blue Moon" could be sung at the start to set the tone, "City 'Til I Die" when the team needs a reminder of support, and "The Best Team in the Land and All the World" after a goal to maintain momentum.

It's important to note that while chants like "Come on City" might express urgency or frustration, they could also be interpreted as a rallying cry. However, if there's a concern that it may convey anxiety, it might be best to focus on more positive and encouraging chants.

Ultimately, the choice of song should align with the mood in the stadium and the needs of the team at that moment. Encouraging, upbeat, and energetic songs tend to have a more positive impact, especially in high-pressure situations.

You're absolutely right; the strategic use of chants can significantly influence the atmosphere in the stadium. "Come on City" can indeed serve as a rallying cry, but it's the transition to other songs that can maintain the momentum and positive energy. Here's a suggested approach for the timing and transition of chants during the match:

Pre-Match/Early Game: Start with "Blue Moon" to set an encouraging and united tone as the match begins.

If City Scores First: Follow up with "The Best Team in the Land and All the World" to ride the wave of excitement and reinforce the team's confidence.

If the Game is Tied or City is Behind: Use "City 'Til I Die" and "We're Not Really Here" to remind the team of the unwavering support and inject a bit of humor to lighten the mood.

During Moments of Silence or Frustration: Introduce "Boys in Blue" to re-energize the crowd and players, ensuring the silence doesn't linger and affect morale.

Strategic Encouragement: If "Come on City" is used and followed by silence, quickly transition to an upbeat chant like "Glad All Over" or "Yaya/Kolo" to keep spirits high.

Closing Stages of the Match: If City is close to victory, bring back "Blue Moon" for a full-circle moment, celebrating the journey and the impending triumph.

Remember, the key is to keep the energy flowing and avoid long periods of silence that could be interpreted as dissatisfaction or anxiety.

Seamless transitions between chants can help maintain a positive atmosphere, which can be crucial, especially in high-pressure situations.

The collective voice of the fans can be a powerful force, inspiring the team to push through challenging moments and strive for victory.
