Speak for yourself . I'm sure there are a lot of Stockport based boys and girls who enjoyed that. I thought it was fine

There can be no excuses for a chumps league quarter final but in the main it is wank and has been for some time. We've been spoilt for a long time and it shows in our home support

The away fans are the most loyal and most vocal...always have been and always will be
Home support, as you point out , is fuckign embarrassing more often than not.

I say the same fans the norm is passive. Last night was decent.

The issue is (me included for last night) real fans aren't going and are selling them to gimps

Asked early doors in the match thread if the atmosphere was there because it wasn’t coming through on TV. Of course, TNT could have something to do with it. And the second half was noticeably louder and singing more often.
When compared with the atmosphere at the start in Madrid or at Anfield or Milan or Dortmund with the flags and tiffo’s and noise it does make an inhospitable environment for the away side. We didn’t have that, or at least seem to and maybe this was why we started very slowly and were then on the back foot for most of the game. Massive difference to the same fixture a year ago and look how that panned out
And when we did score Madrid were shaken. It does affect players and we are not great at it

The open game in Madrid was a far better watch. Fail to understand why we waste so many minutes trying to carve out an attempt on goal. We take relatively shots/attempts per minute of possession and at times its like watching paint dry. Away from home most teams are not parking the bus, games are a better watch our fans pro rata are more vociferous and more solid and make more noise

This "we don't shoot" idea has been mentioned a lot, both here and in the match thread. But the stats tell a different story. We had 67% possession over the 120 minutes, so had the ball for approximately 80 minutes to Madrid's 40 minutes. We also had 33 attempts on goal in that time, which is one every two and a half minutes. Madrid had 8, or one every 5 minutes. And those times assume the ball is in play the whole time, which it isn't, meaning the minutes per attempt is actually lower than 2.5 minutes... so the argument doesn't stand up.
