Yeah, you're completely reliant on the commentators to fake massive levels of excitement now, which they'd naturally do in a normal game as they bounce off the energy of the crowd.This is a massive annoying factor. Really took this aspect for granted before, but it is bloody annoying. The game can completely pass you by if you're not paying proper attention now.
The moment the City game became a procession, I wasn't particularly interested in watching, which, in normal circumstances, every time the energy of the crowd would have risen, I'd have popped my head up and seen the play through.
