When the Gods didn’t smile on us

Following on from the other thread where we got lucky, which matches do we remember where we had zero luck?

2 immediately spring to mind which happened close to one another. The Bolton game at the Etihad where we should have had 5 but lost 1-0 to a last minute pen. Also the 1-0 home defeat vs Middlesbrough when Sun Jihai scored an O.G. Boro didn’t have a shot on target that day but still won 1-0.

Notts County away in the FA cup in the early 90’s. Absolutely battered em and lost 1-0.

Hull away first game of season around 89. Hit post and bar 4 times and lost 1-0.

Wigan Fa cup final, we battered them. The sending off happened and we got suckered at the end. Don’t think those players wanted to play for their nasty manager who shouts at them that day.

City 2 - 3 Fulham.

Cruising at 2-0 and then something happened and we couldn't string 2 passes together.

The 1937-38 season

Champions in 1936-37, we were the 37-38 league’s top scorers with 80 goals, won more games than the four teams above us, yet conceded 77 goals, lost 20 games and got relegated.

The only time the Champions have ever been relegated.

Nobody, but nobody, has history like that. We are unique!

Typical City. Most of our bad luck stories are really our uncanny ability to shoot ourselves in the foot, happily mostly banished now.
