MANCHESTER CITY FANS MOCKED FOR PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE CELEBRATIONS

Manchester City fans were mocked for their title celebrations after Arsenal's loss to Nottingham Forest handed them their third Premier League title in a row.


City fans were probably expecting to have to wait until Sunday to kick off their celebrations, knowing a win over Chelsea would secure the title.

However, following their destruction at the hands of Brighton last weekend, Arsenal were once again off the pace when taking on Forest on Saturday evening.

Taiwo Awoniyi's goal in the 19th minute was enough to separate the two teams and guarantee Steve Cooper's side will remain in the top tier next season.

Of course, it was at the top of the table where people were concentrating, with Pep Guardiola picking up his fifth title in six years and the players celebrating together.

And a group of fans gathered outside of the Etihad Stadium to celebrate and sing about their team's success, as you can see in the video below.

City are often accused of not having many fans, especially when there appear to be swathes of empty seats inside the ground even at some of their biggest games.

And rival fans were quick to jump on the fact that there weren't many outside the host venue for the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

"More media than fans," laughed one fan.

"According to the city, there were 200,000 in attendance," joked a second.

A third claimed, "I did karaoke in a pub with more people around."


Another rather sarcastically added, "True passion, desire, and energy by the masses at Manchester City. What a spectacle."

One Manchester United fan went deep, saying, "The greatest lie ever told in recent years is that City are a football club. They're like those pop-up Chinese ghost cities, built in years but no one actually lives there."

"And the 10-strong crowd goes wild," stated another supporter.

"More financial breaches than the number of fans at the Etihad celebrating winning the Premier League," replied a sixth, referencing the charges against City that have left many numb to their success.

 

Before the season is out, there might be more reasons to celebrate outside the Etihad because City still has a chance to win the Treble.


To win the European championship for the first time, they must overcome Manchester United in the FA Cup final before taking on Inter Milan in the Champions League final.


The cost of travelling to Turkey and then purchasing a ticket is ludicrous, so it's possible that more fans would stay in Manchester than fly to Istanbul for the game.
