excuse my ignorance but why? Instability? Lack of facilities? Weather? All of the above?

or is that just how it is in African WC quals?

the last 10 minutes have been like a fever dream, United players just standing there as we run rings around them

I implore people to return to watch this again tomorrow, when your tears have dried, and see that it is as blatant a penalty as you will see

Franny Lee, Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee, Bert Trautmann, Frank Swift, Peter Doherty (though this is arguable as his city career was massively cut short by WWII, but he was still fantastic for the time he played for us), Alan Oakes, Billy Meredith, Neil Young (not that Neil Young), Eric Brook

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).
