Please tell me this is a joke?!
We have got more pressing issues to deal with in Europe than a crowd or no crowd.
There were delegates, sponsors and officials allowed into the ground, totalling 500 plus press. Clearly the sponsors not surprisingly were Russian and CSKA fans!

If they allow in delegates and sponsors etc, then the chances are that the sponsors will be CSKA fans and so will chant.
If City report and make an issue of this it will just add to the comical nature of our presence in the Champions League.

Considering the money we've ploughed into the club over the last 35 years, Id say we both deserve our extras for this one.

If I remember rightly, that was £5 per ticket.
And possibly the best atmosphere I've ever seen at a home game.
Every fan, in every stand, was standing up for the whole match, singing and urging the team on. Incredible atmosphere.
It was a privilege to be at that game.
I would love if we even created half that atmosphere regularly.
Incredible night.

Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. No atmosphere has matched that since, a few good ones but none where the whole crowd were on their feet singing their heart out for 90 minutes.
It was also arguably one of the most spirited City performances I've ever seen against a team at the time, who were a level or two above ours. Mightily unlucky as well, Elano cracked two beautiful free kicks against the woodwork.

I seem to remember zabs limping off towards the end. He had given it everything.
Goosebumps is right.
Amazing. See, you don't have to win for it to be special. Just fucking give it everything and we're happy.
