Where would you rank last night in terms of disappointments?

[plattlanebenches]

No where near as bad as last year’s final. That was our big chance.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Not even comparable to relegation, that’s a slow death, this a flesh wound….I’m more devastated at the loss of my tv

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Losing to Bury in the Cup around 1976ish, was bad, I seem to remember a lot of windows in Bury Town Hall got put in, not by me your Honour.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

In The Mansour era:

1) Last year's final defeat
2) Old Trafford semi final defeat
3) Last night
4) Spurs second leg
5) Missing 4th v Spurs 2011
6) Wigan Cup Final

It depends on how we react.....if we pull together and win the next 4 then honestly speaking in context weve gone out to Real Madrid (albeit we threw it away) in a champs league semi. Thats something I can live with, its a cup game and anything can happen.
Champs league for me is the icing on the prem cake, so Id me more than happy with just the cake.

However if we collapse now - which is my bigger concern - this will be up there with the League Cup Semi loss v United (in the year of the 3 last minute derby losses), Ricky Villa and Relegation to 3rd div, which sent me on a three day bender, might even surpass it considering who wed be losing out to.

Yep the worst under Pep. I was shocked as soon as I saw the team sheet !

Oxford Utd home 1998.

 

[Corky]

Blowing a chance to win something is far worse than relegation where we miss out on finishing 20th or 17th.

We normally bounce back better from being relegated and our longest ever stay in one division outside the top flight is 2 years and we end up winning promotion, which were are greatest achievement's for about 2 generations.

Throwing away the cup final in 1981 and taking 30 years to put it right was far worse than going down in 83 and battering Charlton 5-1 2 years later to go up in triumphantly. It could have been the last good chance to win the URUC this season for a generation or ever with this ageing team and inferior replacements.

Last years final number 1 for me I was absolutely gutted all summer long :(

I’d put the 3-2 defeat to the rags in 2018 at home in that list.

Not for me because it didn't actually mean anything in the scheme of things. But it did hurt.

 

[PistonBlue]

Barely registers on the scale of City related disappointments. Hard to watch but I'm over it already.

 

[manimanc]

Looking at the fixture list as it came out for the 98/99 season will take a lot of beating.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

No where near as bad as last year’s final. That was our big chance.

Get what your saying and it was a sorry debacle, but this was the chance to get back there and right the wrong. Also, we were a goal down for ages, last night we were virtually through.

 

[Bluesince1979]

Funnily enough i pondering this today. No particular order …


the luton relegation game. I was only 7 and the first time city made cry.

last night.

spurs in champs league 1/4 final. To be jumping around like i was one second then on the floor the next was a killer.

united 5 city 0. 92’ish? Just a spanking

city 2 united 3 when we SHOULD have won the league. Dream come true stuff.

blackburn away in cup 1/4s. Awful. Fighting amongst our selves. So near but yet so far again.
spurs 1/4s fa cup. Went one nil up and thought this is it. 4-1 down and everyone running on the pitch. Wank.

none of the relegations ever really bothered me as they had an air of inevitability about them

I was fucking 27 and I cried at that game.

 

[roubaixtuesday]

The ones that always come into my mind are that Owen goal for the rags in the millionth minute of injury time and the disallowed Sterling goal against spurs in the CL. If I’m honest I’d put this behind both of those.. That Owen goal happened as a lone city fan in a pub full of rags, i nearly got bottled. The Sterling goal I jumped around the room screaming for 2 minutes, nearly lost my voice being VAR chalked it off

The Spurs one the guy in the seat behind me fell on top of me and I lost my glasses, found them unharmed three rows in front!

I'd rate this as much wise than either, though I think somehow it's better to be in the ground than at home.

I think in time this won't be as bad as the CL final when we just never turned up. We might have lost, but at least we scored 5.

And if we win the league and Real win the Cup it'll fade very fast. OTOH...

 

[FantasyIreland]

Half expected with a 2 goal lead with 6 to play?

Yes,our ability to implode in these big games is not a new thing (apologies if been in a coma)

Sandwiched somewhere between Blackburn and West Ham FA Cup 1/4 final defeats for me.
