Where would you rank last night in terms of disappointments?

[Blue_eyes]

How would you feel about losing a cl semi final against real?

If you asked me that back in the 90s or 80s even, I would have said bloody ecstatic.

Of course, time moves on, and things change, and with it comes expectation and hope.

In earlier times we had not much of either, but last night we had plenty of both, and its those feelings that cause the pain, but the ride is thrilling.........so drink it in and fck anyone else.

Throwing away a decent lead to lose a big game always hurts. As does losing a game in stoppage time.

I was pissed off last night like I was against Spurs in the quarter final or United in the PL a few seasons ago.

What cheers me up is knowing that whatever United felt after the Aguerooooo moment will be one million times worse. They had to mull over that all summer, we can put this defeat behind us in the next four games.

It was the manner of last night’s defeat that made it so painful. Late goals against are such a sickener, we were so close. The fact we should have killed the tie in the first half of the first leg makes it even harder to take.

For me it’s probably the third most disappointing:
1. Last year‘s CL final - we‘re better than Chelsea but Pep fucked up.
2. CL v Spurs - away goals, var, missed pen. What a clusterfuck.
3. CL semi v RM - we’d had it won about four times and still bottled it.
4. FA cup final v Wigan - still pisses me off, such a shit team, the cup was there for us.

Not very high on the list. It was a shock to the system, sure, but at the end of the day it was a Champions League semi-final against a world class team full of players who won the competition three times running not long ago. It was disheartening but it didn't hurt.

 

[clarion]

This one is No1. We were better and lost.

 

[awest]

Halifax away in the FA cup was much worse. That cup meant so much more back then.

 

[yankblue]

It doesnt feel great thats for sure

 

[OB1]

Not interested in ranking disappointments. Next season will be my 50th consecutive season as a season ticket holder and I've had plenty of them.

I will say that not winning the league this season would be a bigger one than last night and many other low points but challenging for the major honours beats fighting relegation.

 

[Bluemanc100]

Only considering the CL games, it's 3rd for me.

1. Chelsea - CL final
2. Spurs - CL QF
3. Real - CL semis

I think the Spuds QF was terrible .. thinking we’d done it at the death to have it snatched away.. on par with last night when I’d started to think “we’ve got this”

 

[cityblue123]

To be knocked out in the semi final of the champions league
To be knocked out of the semi final of the FA cup.
To be top of the league with a few games to go albeit not over yet
Some have very short memories.
I remember when ............................................................

 

[Shaelumstash]

Doubt it even gets into the top 10 biggest disappointments for me.

We dominated at the Bernebeu for 90 odd minutes, and conceded two freak goals in 3 freak minutes.

We could play those 3 minutes again 1000 times and never concede 2 again.

Do you think Bayern went soul searching and hit the pits of despair in 99? No, they brushed themselves down, then went and won it the year after.

Bigger disappointments off the top of my head:
- Cheslea CL Final
- Spurs CL QF
- Liverpool CL
- Lyon CL QF
- Monaco CL
- Stoke relegation
- Liverpool relegation
- Wigan FA Cup Final
- The Shite Carabao Cup SF
- West Ham FA Cup QF

Low, I was over it before 11pm

 

[yankblue]

I called my dad after and he said I was a bigger disappointment to him then this match

 

[Deleted member 77198]

That was by far the worst Champions League defeat of the lot, the worst defeat of the new-era City since the takeover.

Relegations are worse though. As bad as I feel today (and I’m devastated!), it’s not on the same level as 3rd May 1998.

What you need is a touch of Inception.

Wolves in 74 was a killer. I blubbed a bit.

Take me a while to get over this one though.

Sky Blue. Same here in 74. 14 years old, first trip to Wembley, much vaunted City front 5 vs a street wise but very average Wolves.
Tears all the way home and scene set for a lifetime of hopes, dreams and many disappointments.
Now i would not change a thing and am certain that we will win the big Euro trophy soon and enjoy the occasion all the more having served afull apprenticeship.
The result last night was a real shitter and I didn’t get much sleep. Today I am in a better place with my own logic that we were always going to struggle in the tightest matches without a true goal scorer and we’ve avoided the nightmare of potentially losing the final to the dippers with their abundance of goalscorers.

win Sunday and my mood will lift completely.

 

[Mariosfireworks]

Not up there with losing at home to Bury.

I'll raise you loosing at home to stockport County

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

For me it was Wembley 74 when I genuinely couldn't see City losing.

However, we're fast approaching the stage where anyone under the age of 30 won't remember the real dark days of defeats at Stockport, Lincoln and York, essentially because they weren't even born.

 

[Scottyboi]

Doesn’t come close to Scholes scoring the only goal of the game in injury time at the Etihad on my birthday. What a shitter that was.

I nearly started a riot on the concourse after that, undid the bolts on the gate opened it and got put in a headlock by stewards haha, half a bottle of Fenny in me.

I was hurting walking out of the stadium after the Spurs CL exit and badly after losing to Chelsea last year.

I don’t know why but last night and today feels worse. Didn’t sleep last night with the shock of it all - so I’m with you 100%.
