To add some nuance to the debate from someone who regularly attends games: yes our atmosphere is mostly shit domestically (other than in big 6 clashes etc) and it's also shit in the UCL groups, and this is because an unbelievable amount of tickets get bought up by tourists or families (the club has an entire stand called the family stand). However, I will firmly stand by my opinion, that, on big UCL knockout nights when actual singing fans manage to get all the tickets, we have arguably the best atmosphere in England (yes im obviously biased but I (with blue tinted specs on) genuinely believe that).
This is basically true for all premier league teams. People love to wank themselves to death over the special atmosphere at anfield on champions league nights and while it can be special the average atmosphere there for league games isn’t anything of note. Atmospheres in England just aren’t the same as in Europe. We ebb and flow with the game a lot more than happens in Germany, Italy, Turkey etc. Personally I think when English atmospheres are good they beat out the constant noise of the ultras you tend to see on the continent but for an average premier league game the atmosphere tends to be not great.
