Dzeko in his interview after the game mentioned the fans and said "Same again on Sunday please"So i guess the players do realise when the crowd's behind them.

I miss it, and they miss me sometimes. Not tonight however, the atmosphere sounded electric.

Manuel Pellegrini has urged the Manchester City fans to play their part as his team close in on the Premier League title.

City are four points away from being crowned champions with two home games against Aston Villa and West Ham left to play.

And, writing in his programme notes ahead of Villa's visit on Wednesday night, the Chilean called on the supporters to roar the team to the title.

Pellegrini wrote: "More than at any other time this season, we need our supporters to make an atmosphere that our players will thrive in.

"The effect our fans can have on these games must not be underestimated. And, for the next two games, the contribution from our supporters will play a huge part.

"Together we can achieve our goals.

"Our objective is to win our final two games and then we will see where that takes us.."

Not sure a current manager counts as an ex-pro. I've never heard anyone associated with any club say anything else about their own fans that wasn't positive

Source?

Andy Morrison made a comment on Blue Tuesday a few weeks ago that he didn't really notice the crowd whilst playing. Not sure the podcasts are kept for more than a couple of weeks though, so can't check his exact statement.

Were you in the ground or watching on TV?

From in the ground, the singing section and south stand made some noise, but it didn't really carry to the family stand with much volume. Mainly it just felt tense, especially the longer the game went on. When the goal went in, it was like someone had turned mute off and the sound level increased dramatically from most parts of the ground.

I really think the acoustics are odd in the Etihad. I'm in 110, and it was rocking all game.

Partly this & partly just sections of half arsed fans who need a kick to get started I think. But the singing sections tried hard tonight & it made it a lot easier to get the zombies going when we did score.

At times, the noise reached Maine Road level just for a short while. Proves it can be done.

I sit in 211 Last night was the first time I have heard two different songs being sang loud and clear. South stand were singing one song whilst the East stand were singing another and this is the first time I could see the benefits of getting rid of the away fans so we could get those fans together and raise the sound level in unison.

The atmosphere was good last night, first 60 minutes was full of people trying to get everyone going and backing the lads, then after the goal it just came naturally and flowed. I thought Villas handful of fans were good fun too joining in with us and starting the Gerrard song, they even celebrated our 3rd LOL

I got totally lost at one point as I was singing one thing & people nearby were singing something else then I heard something else wafting over from another direction. I think I ended up mumbling tunelessly like Rooney singing the National Anthem.
