Which City game has annoyed you the most?

Taking my eldest to his first home game at Maine Road (he'd already seen City get leathered at klanfield). I was determined his first home game would be a win, even with Alan Ball in charge, so chose Lincoln City at home in the league cup.
We watched in despair from windy corner as City went one down in the first half and were, quite rightly, booed off at half time....and again at full time as it stayed at one nil.
 
The Bournemouth home game back in 1989. 3-0 up at half time in glorious sunshine, promotion back to the top flight a certainty, the beer, lager, cider and champagne was on ice..........then a certain Ian Bishop absolutely destroyed us, and Luther Blisset scored a dodgy penalty about 40 minutes into injury time.

Everyone went home pissed off and it all came down to Trevor Morley in the final game of the season at Bradford, in the last 15 minutes of the game to secure promotion.

Another game where I've been the angriest I've ever been, but not at City but the referee.

It was the league cup semi final 1st leg in 1981 at home to Liverpool. When the bastard ref disallowed a perfectly good Kevin Reeves goal.

I wanted to run on the pitch and twat him. Fortunately I was stood way back in the Kippax so that was impractical as it was rammed to the rafters with fellow blues.
 
FA Cup Final in 23/24 when it was leaked that the players were still pissed before quickly trying to brush that under the carpet. Rags should've torn us apart that day but consolidated when they went 2-0 up, that's how bad we were.

Semi final against Madrid in 2016 too, Pellegrini choosing then of all times to shut up shop and not go for goals!

CL final in Porto, the team bottled it but Pep choosing not to play Rodri still baffles me to this day.

First 92 minutes of the QPR game too. We bottled it that day and got away with murder through Aguero's determination and Dzeko's heroics.

The Spurs game at home in 23/24 when Simon Blooper blew up for a foul on Erling when Jack was 1v1 with the keeper in the 95th minute!

A random one which really pissed me off was Forest away in 2023. Chance after chance after chance then they scored with their first shot in the 80-something minute from Chris Wood. Pre-prolific Chris Wood. It meant nothing in the end but I was certain (mixed with Arsenal winning every game in the last minute) that we'd fucked it. How wrong was I!?

Just a few.

The chance to do a domestic Double Double which has never been done nor probably never will be tossed away due to a collective hangover?
It was a fucking awful defeat to accept.
The other lows occurred by teams that tried their best but for one reason or another it didn't happen for them on the day.
 
Would like to nominate two FA cup quarter finals Liverpool, late 80s I think. After seeing off Plymouth in the 5th round had convinced myself it could be our year. Once we drew the dippers I felt pessimistic but hoped for an upset. Hammered 4 0 and victims of some dubious refereeing.
The Spurs quarter in the 90s was far more disappointing really thought we'd win that and went in front early on. After that Spurs played us off the park until the pitch invasion after which both sides stopped trying and referee blew for full time bang on 90 minutes.
In those days getting to the quarter final was a huge deal and the disappointment overwhelming. As against this probably the happiest I've felt was the 2011 semi. Never saw that coming.
 
The Spectacular collapse in Monaco
When Bernado , Mendy played for them iMbappe ran riot too

Just 2 examples as we appear to be historically littered with games Thrown Away

The two derby defeats in 09/10. To get beat in injury time twice in the same season vh them horrible cunts was disgusting. Probably a good few games in the 06/07 season which I've probably mentally blocked out my mind.

It was three times the Rags beat us in injury time in that 2009-10 season: Owen 90+6 (OT PL game), Rooney 90+2 (OT EFL Cup 2nd leg), Scholes 90+3 (Etihad PL game).

Couldn’t believe it when that Scholes one happened after it already hapoening twice that season, watching Ireland being shoulder-to-shoulder with Scholes at one point but then him being nowhere near him when he scored the winner. Sickener!
