>1000s of empty seats for first home game of season against another Big Six club

Are they the most astroturfed club on the planet? No authentic fanbase or culture, just Arab money

There's no nuspeak word more dystopian than """influencer""", I hate it so much.

Forced memes are always cringe

>>150370526
I respect it. With how fast pop culture moves nowadays, as an influencer you only have about a week to make as much money as you can before you inevitably have to go back to work. Anyone who can scam a bunch of morons to buy Hawk Tuah coin earns my respect.

I'd wouldn't mind getting paid to pretend to be a manchester city fan

Very simple

No other PL club needs this to sell out

In the Saudi league you will see stadiums with 40,000 capacity with maybe a couple hundred fans average attendance. Same thing with City, the owners don't give a shit.

It's about the global brand and as long as people in India, China, and America are watching and buying shirts they're doing well on paper.
Who gives a fuck about the second team in Britain's second city in Britain. Oasis? They're on tour.

>>150370548
indeed but why 'influencer' over something like 'internet personality'?

>>150371401
that just means their supporters are cucks

>>150371380
I've got a great workaround for the 'no drinking in the stands' problem. All you need is a hypodermic needle, some apples and bottle of vodka. I think you can figure out what you need to do.

>>150371380
>allow drinking in the stands
wait what
they sell beer, but you have to chug it in the concourse?

>>150371988
Apple would get confiscated on the way in

>>150372024
Indeed we have to

>>150372040
this just flooded me with a memory - I went to a game in Maidstone in 2014 when they were in the 7th tier and had several beers and carried them right up to the pitch, then when I went again 4 or 5 years later and they were in the 5th tier, I got a beer and was prevented from leaving the concessions area with it and was totally puzzled

>India, China, and America are watching
are any of those watching the saudi league? besides hardcore ronaldo fans

>>150372127
Usually in non league you are allowed to but not in the football league

Emptihad they calls it
Isn't just a shit pun

>>150372215

India is watching

I think what he means is that paid shills are so common nowadays that they've come up with a neutral term to refer to them

Man City historically was a working man's club. Now that they outpriced most of their real fans, the Khaleejis that run that team are feeling the effects of an entire generation that views the team as plastic and SOVLless

>>150371988
retard you need a bell pepper

>>150371665
>Oasis
They're Leeds fans

>>150372029
Not if you hid it in your arse

>>150370492 (OP)
Well.the genuine fans showed up

>>150370492 (OP)
Well all of the previous influencers just became PSG influencers

>>150375994
This is cope, city werent any more "working class" than a bunch of other football clubs that still sell out their ground every week

>>150370492 (OP)
Such a soulless artificial club

I feel sorry for the 3 guys who were fans before Man City became rich

>>150379905
City genuinely were more 'authentic' than Utd, also more local. They were under 40,000 average around 2008 when they got taken over. Thats crept up to near capacity now, 53k and they want to expand the stadium to 60+, so they need to find those from somewhere. Basically they added 10k+ customers and are now looking to add another 10k+. And obv. these aint all gonna be lifelong diehards and some cringe marketing bs will be involved. But is their fanbase in general any worse, or less 'genuine' than Man Utds? idk.

>>150371380
>>Allow drinking in the stands
haram for their fans

>>150370526
It's disgusting but I appreciate the honesty.

>>150380062
You mean oasis

its incredibly funny as a neutral how badly city have mindbroken all the heysels and gay gooners in this country

going to be even funnier when they win the league again

Question to people of Manchester (if there even are any on this site). How do people in your city choose between United or City?

>>150371889
They don't get it mate. They don't understand the subtlety of different words, like you do. Leave them walk that ignorant path towards their next vaccine.

>>150375471
e-mail is a shortened version of electronic mail you ignoramus. It's not the same as replacing a word such as 'reporter' or 'reviewer' with influencer.

>>150387591
Stop...Traditionally it would be family ties or location. City and Utd have their own traditional catchment areas too. I'll leave a real Manc explain properly...carry on

>>150386782
City will never win the league again while Pep is in charge. He's a busted flush. The game has changed and Pep has to hire coaches from rivals to try to fix it. Pep knows too...

>>150387704
whatever you say heysel

>>150380062
City were a yoyo club from the late 70s early 80s until le oil. They were in the 3rd tier at one point. The troubles that spurs, united, Everton etc have had over he years arent anything comparable to how grim and irrelevant it was at City for appx 30 years. Ask the oasis fags if you don't believe me.

>>150380731
...Oh City are a massive club

They're called legacy conversationalists now unc

Igor Jesus isn't the GOAT. He entered today and didn't move Nottingham Forest from a tie to a win......

>be austrian
>be life long supporter of sk rapid
>buy a cheap ticket for block west
>buy cheap beer in the catacombs from an ultras group
>get some nice stickers, shirts and other merch to support them
>smoke cigarettes on the stand
>someone is always smoking dope and is happy to share
>have some visitors from friendly groups/teams from germany. hungary, greece or italy over
>everyone is singing, chanting, having just fun
>get a police escort out of the stadium to make sure you don't beat up away fans
>do this every other sunday
life is fun at real football clubs that are not owned by anyone other than it's club members and will never get franchised by some camel fucker.

epl teams are all merch retailers for third world kit wankers

>>150403048
>third world
no wonder they live in poverty if they're buying this overpriced shit

>>150370492 (OP)
they are no longer cool or fashionable so tourists are no longer risking a trip to manchester to catch a game. arsenal are ironically more fashionable for non-white non-brit tourists and have the benefit of being near Bicester where tourists are going.

>>150370492 (OP)
ah so thats why they got streamer Elz The Witch in their social media

>>150370526
You and many people. They had to rebrand thar Smurf Influencer for the newest movie into Smurf Dancer due to the massive backlash when the first trailer aired. Also most influencers turn to be either pedos, or chuds, or both

>>150371889
Well the money comes from influencing their crowd to buy whatever product they have been paid to advertise
Plus it sounds fancy and hip
