Worst was 1-0 away at Cardiff in the early 90's. I think we'd heard that Franny had taken over on the way down if memory serves.
Best has the be the semi v them. Brilliant day :-)

The semi at Wembley was the first day i felt we were (first time in my lifetime) better than them, and proved it. Left Wembley buzzing

Got back to the coach on Wembers car park and told the driver I was pissed off on the outside and pissed off on the inside!!
One of the worst feelings ever that, I'm sure there were 60,000 city fans in wembley that day and they turned in a shite performance like that. The usual drunken idiots trying to fight fellow city fans. Was glad to get back to Watford junction and back in the car.

Best : Sunderland. Loved the celebrations after the goals, especially Nasri's and the relaxed atmosphere. I was in Londo the night before and it was Sunderland everywhere but just having a good piss up and a laugh. I was too tense against the rags and Stoke to really enjoy the game before the final whistle although afterwards was great.
Other than that ipswich at Villa Park.
Worst- Jesus where do I start with this one.
Liverpool semi final Alf Grey game
Cup final replay- heartbreaking as a 12 yr old.
notts county as mentioned previously.
Spurs at home pitch invasion.
United 1-0 away in 80's/early 90's. We should have won.
United 4-2 when we got dicked by 10 men.
Wigan - horrendous day from the Mancini to be sacked rumours to the shameful performance by the players to the soaking on the way out.
But the award for me goes to Blackburn in 06/07 or whenever it was when the day was toxic, the fans fighting each other, abusing the players and an absolute wank performance from the team. I thought at that point we would never win anything in my lifetime.

Brentford away in 89 when we lost 3 - 1 was a long day. Started with the only wet train to London (went to Olympia not Euston) . ended with hassle from six fingered monkeys that got on at Stoke on the way home. Lots of beer, crap match and a trip to Milton Keynes somewhere along the line.
^^This. Driving to what felt like the middle of an armpit, being eyeballed by the locals at a pub right next to the ground until they realised they were the only locals in the pub. Got them so pissed they didn't even make it into the ground then we were shite. Locked in the ground, shat on by a police horse and a age to get back to Manchester. Only good thing was I wasn't driving.
Best: other than the Scum it has to be the Ipswich semi at Villa Park in 1981. Massed ranks in the Holt End, Dave Bennett falls over and Paul Power sticks it in from the free kick. Fantastic...
