What? Dzeko signed with City?

[Unscarred]

No Wolfsburg just accepted the City offer, but Dzeko still hasnt signed with them, rumour is that he is still waiting for better offer from Juventus.

We are a far better offer than juventus anyway...

Hahha fighting in City camp again, Kolo Toure vs Adebayor

[cityfan31]

I lol'd @ City fans being "best fans in the world". I could name a bunch of teams on both there home and away supports that are better than City's. Don't make ridiculous statements like that unless you have at least put in the minimum effort of going to a decent amount of home and aways....

I have had a season ticket for 10 years and go to as many aways as I can afford / get tickets for.

And you?

Also, I was exagerrating, nobody can claim to be the best supporters. However, city have always had big crowds, even filling our stadium when we were in League 1 (my first year as a proper fan). We have proven our loyalty.

My dad was 15 when we last won something and now he is 49 and goes every week still.

As for chelsea (5th in the league) we still get bigger crowds than them now and half their fans started supporting them when abramovich arrived.

Man City used to have a really good home support but the atmosphere there's been poor for the last few seasons, based on the couple of games I've attended. Not sure about away, haven't been to a Man City home match in the last few seasons.

In terms of away support (apart from the Toon Army), the best I've seen is Man United years back. They were very impressive.

Liverpool are the most overrated. They may be good on Champions League nights but they're a joke outside of that.

Portsmouth are best home support that I've seen.



Looking forward to tonight, really fancy our chances, West Ham may have picked up form but they're still a poor side.

Also nice to get Ben Arfa. Great signing. Can't wait til his fit again


@ the Man City "fight" - you have to be naive to think that doesn't happen in lots of training grounds and dressing rooms. With the amount of pressure there's bound to be fall-outs. Difference is Man City's training facilities are right by a public path so everything is on camera pretty much.

Aye Maine Road produced a much better atmosphere than COMS, although atmospheres at most home grounds has been falling away recently IMO. Away support is good because its the core fans and everyone sings.

Can't agree about united's support - the men in black - they think they are gangstas bringing flairs to the city stadium like they are AC Milan. Clowns. And their pathetic attempt to get rid of the glazers with a co-ordinated knitwear campaign. And the way they turned on Wayne Rooney back with his contract dispute - a gang going to his house threatening to burn it down? They are arrogant pricks and ironically for the biggest ground in the country it is the quietest stadium, what with all the tourists there from singapore and japan. I'd like to see them cope with relegation like city and newcastle.

Best support I have seen this season was Blackpool, Villa and Poznan (in the europa league).

Fancy newcastle to beat west ham but don't fancy City against Arsenal without Silva and Balotelli.

Oh, and the bust-up? Probably not a good thing but not really a bad thing. Least it shows they are all fired up.

[MikeNUFC]

Can't say Man United fans are the nicest people but I can't argue with their away support - their home support is on another level of bad but their away has always impressed me.

Poznan are just ridiculous - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26Ju8-Az ... r_embedded

That link is an under 12's match in London - skip to 36 seconds. If that's not loyalty, I dont know what is. Amazing.

Napoli fans are probably the best supporters in any major European league, chech this out:

Boca Juniors, River Plate and Sao Paulo are another level to everybody else entirely, absolute nutcases

Interesting results in the half times, Liverpool and Chelsea are loosing Newcastle are ripping apart West Ham 3-0 so far.

Yep, amazing first half.

Leon Best = absolute God.

[Innovation]

You must be kidding me. We're 1-0 down to Wolves who are bottom of the league. This are getting ridiculous. Something needs to happen.

[DanWS]

Jesus Christ @ how disgustingly shit Liverpool have become

[Unscarred]

What more could you ask for, Chelsea lost, Liverpool lost and City & Arsenal made a draw

[Emshady2]

Real Madrid will win the treble!

ROOOOOOONALDO!
