What a lazy half arsed attitude. Fucking plastic cabbage growing excuse of a man!

You'll be smoking a bong and drumming and then at half 8 saying...."fuck me...isn't Wednesday?"

Cheers

It was a Wednesday night and pissing down but there were 30k+ there and we were about 14th in the league. Everyone will be there tonight. I will be in town by 4 and looking forward to it. If we win tonight it will be 9 points out of the last 12.......no disaster that. The one point I do understand though is the price. It is simply to expensive and really tough for those with young families etc. No need for season ticket peeps not to turn up or at least pass the ticket on.

I expected a defeat at either Stoke or Anfield during the run in, as we always let ourselves down at one or the other no matter how we are doing, but I never factored in the Hull result. Add two points to the total & we're perfectly ok imo, but losing those two points it's an outside bet now. I can understand fans not turning up at that price, when we can't be sure whether the players will turn up. It's far too much.

I haven't given up on the title personally, but I'd think twice if I had to fork out £50 to see a game v Leicester.

I'm not going (third time this season due to work ) but as always I make sure that the season ticket seat is filled with a loud substitute. I think as season ticket holders we have a duty to make sure our seats are filled!

Isn't that N in sign language?

Are you wanting Negredo back?

And those are only his finer points.

Wash your mouth out.

I'll be here looking for a stream in Dublin. (No Liffey jokes)
Could someone get a boo in early for me ... maybe when Kompany is doing his warm up.

Not particularly excited about going but it's when things are not going perfect that it's time to really support the team to lift them

I have a season card so will be going. If I was being asked to lash out forty sniffs + I wouldn't be bothering. . . . Possibly.

I will be on Kompany watch.

Hes due an average game....today could be the day.

I'm not having a go at anybody (and perhaps hypercritical of me considering I am not going tonight) but of the people sat with the blanket warming silencers; why not try and gee them all up?

Honestly I know what its like as I've sat in every block in the ground when we first moved there before getting a season ticket. I even got told to 'stop singing' in Colin Bell Tier 2 when it was the Champs League qualifier with Spurs (When Crouch scored).

I'm not going tonight. I can't got to week night matches (and haven't for a year now) due to severe insomnia issues (That city massively worsen). It doesn't matter who its against (I missed both Barca games). For me to go to a week night game I'd need a day off and 10mgs of Valium.

After the Newcastle game I've now made the decision that 5.30pm kick offs are too much. Who knows what the reason is; but after Newcastle I did not sleep for a single minute. Its like the adrenaline is too much it takes hours to subside (No I've never taken drugs and often don't drink at matches. I did have a few at Newcastle and the atmosphere was decent because 110 was rocking because everyone was pissed!)

Away from the therapy moan I just think more people need to be 'starters' of the atmosphere and this has been the case since we moved here. Too many people are ;scared' of looking like a mug, scared of standing up and love to conform to showshec (when they don't even bother anymore).

But my point is its games like tonight where I've made the decision why am I gonna worsen my health and put 100% into a match when 90% of the crowd do not. The lads I sit with gor banned a few years back on a midweek Europe game for 'standing up and persistent singing' that's the reward they get for actually bothering to go to Poznan or whoever it was with a load of tourists making them stick out like saw thumbs.

lunchtime, 3pm, 1.30pm, 4pm and fine I'll go mental and give my all but I've made the decision that the effects of late games are not worth it. Always make sure a BLUE has my ticket though.

ADDITIONAL separate rant: Many 'fair weathered fans' don't appreciate the price of games these days. They aren't prepared to pay £30 (price a lot of us sell are tickets for when we can't go and that's for 'the best' seats where people stand and sing); while City are trying to get £50. Hence when people cant go last minute sometimes theres empty seats and you can't give them away. Theres usually tickets on facebook swap groups; yet for games like Barca non blues end up getting tickets instead of blues.

WOW nick, thats a shit deal, what have the quacks said about that condition?

Just about to sink a beer in the city center .

Can see tonight being a low key affair ,

Just sayin.

Try reading one of my posts on football tactics, (or something by Hazy) then watch the 'highlights' of a rags or Chelsea game. You'll be well away.

Hope you get it sorted mate. Sounds like a tough deal.

As one who drove 600miles in a round trip for every single home game under both Alan Ball and Frank Clarke it makes me angry to say the least.

They're not lucky if they live within 15 mins of the stadium. Absolute shit hole. No offence to anyone that does live within 15 minutes

Nice one lads.

Basically nothing. 6 years plus of multiple Gps, endocronoligsts, neurologists, psychologists, dieticians, tests and nothing really! (5 years ago they tried to peddle anti depressants on me)

Not really for this thread but a portion is perhaps anxiety related (worrying about not sleeping on top of probably generally being a bit of a worrier, especially with my job) but what I don't get is the 'city effect' of later kick offs and the 'day after' I go on the beer as there nothing to do with 'thinking im not going to sleep'. Normal people will go on a night out and sleep fine the next night however I'm up the full night yet feel KNACKERED.

I tested my cortisol levels and they spike up circa 10pm on a normal day but that could be expected.

Have a sleep clinic to go to in Salford at the end of the month but I don't hold much hope of trying to sleep wired to a hospital bed....

But good win for the lads tonight and none of me screaming at the TV as we played OK!
