A history of being gutted that is. I remember a few of those matches very well.

City fans, me included, have always looked beyond the next round and on to the final. It's our year/turn/time or whatever.

If this year is not our time, the let down is going to be worse than before. So lets hope we fucking win it!!

We lost the 71 Cup Winner cup semi to Chelsea but I don't know anymore off the top of my head in our entire history.

Forgot that one. We deserved to win, though. Robbed by a referee. Kevin Reeves "Illegal jumping" if I remember rightly...
