It's difficult to image having the time to take a photo of an empty stadium at half-time, circle empty seats with a red pen and sharing it on social media because no other criticism can be labelled at City. But that's what people have done throughout the years as they attempt to hate on City for reasons unbeknownst to everyone else.

The vast majority of City supporters would agree the Etihad Stadium has at times felt like a ghost town for cup competition games, but City have failed to sell out eleven Premier League games since 2010 - that's more than any other side in England.

Also, clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United have witnessed their grounds empty in recent months and years as they deem their season a failure because City, Leicester or Chelsea have claimed a Premier League title ahead of them. The saying pot calling the kettle black was never more worthy of stating right now.
