One that springs to mind,
When we could of won the league in record time v the rags, 2 nil up at half time and sterling had missed a few good chances too.
All for them to come back and beat us at home 2-3 .
Grrrrrrrr

This game for me too. We will never get the opportunity to win the league against the Scum again. We were absolutely cruising in the 1st half.
When you have your foot on the enemy's throat, you push down harder. We got complacent and paid the price.
Obviously, we still won the league but this still gets my goat.

I wasn't that bothered about that one as it was nailed on we were gonna win the league anyway

However there was another derby at Maine Road in the 90's when we were 2-0 up at half time and lost 3-2

Those were the days when Derby wins were as rare as rocking horse shit and it seriously left me questioning why I put myself through this shit for a few days
 
City 1 Crystal Palace 3....Lakey gave us the lead in a tight match after about an hour then Coppell's niggly Palace dialled up their dirtiness and kicked the shit out of our young side with the referee allowing it. Mark Bright went studs up on Eric Nixon twice. The 2nd time he tried it Eric haymakered him and was sent off. Stevie Redmond went in goal, Palace scored their pen and City collapsed to lose comfortably. In fact we didn't win again for a good while after. Never fumed so much at a game even when Alan fuckin Ball told Steve Lomas to take ok the ball to the corner flag.
 
I entertain a fantasy notion that the police knocked on the dressing room door at halftime in that 2018 derby and told us to throw it in the interest of keeping the peace. It would have been carnage if we won it against them.

So i was watching some highlights last night of us beating the rags and i realised the 6-3 at home really annoyed me as we took our foot of the gas and could easily gone for 10 in that game which i realise is first world problems but it got me thinking what game has annoyed you the most and for what reason, could be a win, loss or a draw.

I remember leaving the Etihad that day being very pissed off for this reason. Could have easily been 10 but Pep took us down a couple of gears.

2021 Champions League final

Not only would it have been our first CL win, with Agüero getting a winners’ medal… but it would have also been a treble as we’d won the PL and EFL Cup.

We finished 19 points ahead of Chelsea in the league and I didn’t even rate their team at all. They were a fairly average football team.

The team selection, pretty much every player completely bottled it, we created next to nothing in 90 minutes, Agüero didn’t get proper minutes when we needed a goal… I fell out with City for a while after that, only actually felt better about it when we came back against Villa on the final day of the following season.

This one by a mile.

I'll never forgive Rudiger for the assault on KDB.
 
Wigan,rags and palace fa cup finals but two in the league both were against Leicester.
3/1 home and 4/2 away.
The 3/1 I think that was the season they won the league.
The 4/2 away I think was Peps first season in charge.4/0 down but got 2 late consolation goals.

At the time Eric Nixon getting sent off v Palace after getting baited by Ian Wright and Lake had put us 1-0 up then losing 1-3. This wound a teenage me up.

It really was a proper stitch-up that day.

Shithouse behaviour from Palace and a referee only too happy to oblige.

I’ve never really liked Palace since.

It was Pep that annoyed me more, the biggest stain on his time with us.
The Chelsea game with the non sending off annoyed me more.

I agree 100% with you about Pep on that one and his strange team selection decision. It unnerved the players, who didn't perform as well as they could have. We should have easily beaten the Chavs, but they had our number that spring evening.

It's the one game I won't ever be able to 'forgive' Pep for. The other 99.9% of his tenure he's done us proud.
 
West Ham at home in the cup quarter final. 2006.

Was absolutely convinced it was our year after Micah's last minute equaliser at Villa Park, and a lot of the big teams had been knocked out so the draw had opened up.

Woeful performance and comfortably beaten by a bang average side, summed up by Sun Jihai getting himself sent off.

Left the ground thinking we'd never win anything ever again.

I'm glad someone is on the same page as me about Palace. I got pelters earlier this year when I posted how much I dislike them ( its not Dips Arse Rags Madrid Munich level tbf) but they are a very annoying team like flies you can't ever swat away and they have an irritating habit of getting the better of us when they really shouldn't- and I'm not even thinking of thar corrupt fa Cup final last season.

However caveat, I do like that they have a habit of upsetting the Dippers - prime exhibit being 3-3 in 2014.... :-)

That was the one for me as well, should have pissed that final.

But we have a horrible habit of bottling Finals especially where the FA Cup is concerned - Wigan, Rags and Palace were dreadful results.

That was the first ever derby I attended, sat in the stand behind the goal they scored into. Scarred me for life.
