Favourite City game.....they didn’t win !

what about the city 2-3 rags FA Cup at ours in 2012

when Kompany was sent off for the perfect tackle on nani,we were 3-0 down by half time and a lot of people around me were seriously worried they were going to better our 6-1 thrashing of them in the premier league earlier in the season,we fought back and got to 2-3 and kolorov nearly equalised right near the end,it was a fantastic second half performance by our lads while being a man down.The rags were very relieved to win at the end.

The late Alan "I enjoyed that" Ball would probably say the 6-0 defeat to Liverpool in 1995.

For the excitement of the game, the 3-3 at home to Newcastle in the same season. But in hindsight it was a useless result for both teams as we went down and Newcastle threw the title away to the rags.

When we played Real Madrid away in the Champions League group stages in 2012, it was only our second season in the competition and City at the Bernabau was still a bit of a "is this actually happening?" kind of feeling. Had we held on for the draw that would've been up there.

Nobody mentioned York away yet...?
 
The 2-3 against the rags last season. Although I was obviously gutted, seeing them celebrate like they did, despite being hopelessly outclassed and still many many points behind, was proof that they’re well and truly second best in Manchester.
It reminded me of us when we were shit!!!
 
Mine was a 1-0 defeat at Anfield in 05/06, the match itself was pretty dour but I've not laughed so much at a match since, the travelling Blues were in fine piss taking form that day.
 
3 all draw at home to Newcastle, Keegan was their manager. Excellent game.
The only other stand out game was that Arsenal wooping at home, when the home fans applauded them off at halftime. Arsenal players looked bemused
 
I remember a 1-1 draw away at Sheffield Wednesday on the last day of the season. Huge blue following behind the goal. The proper birth of the Uwe Rosler song and I think Sheff Utd got relegated that day so a general party all round.
 
2-2 quarter final game at Everton 1981,we had behind the goal and down the side and when Power made it 2-2 it was unbelievable.

in this downtime I have been reminiscing with a few blues over a pint....

We all love a good win, but what about the classic matches we don’t win.

Mine is a 2-2 draw away to Huddersfield in 3rd round FA Cup in Jan 88 ( I think ! ) - nearing in mind this was a team we had stuck 10 past a few weeks earlier we travelled in large confident numbers - 1 nil up comfortable.

Then bang bang 2-1 down and time running out. We threw everything st them and couldn’t score deep into injury time we get a free kick a good 25 yards out. Gidman is over the ball - I shout ‘don’t let that red bastard take it’.....bang top corner - bedlam !! Great cup match and start of an epic cup run

I was at that game too. I thought it was bottom corner (!) as the pitch slope meant I couldn't see the goalline at the far end. My memory tells me it was about an 8 man wall as well.
McNab had been sent off after pursuing someone from halfway line to corner flag kicking them all the way.

Bedlam is exactly right though.

It's the first thing that always comes to mind thinking about that match. :-)

I'll go for the 1-1 draw at Millwall in the 3rd tier when Lee Bradbury's late equaliser shut those moronic fuckwits up.

When we weren't let out afterwards because Millwall fans were fighting the riot squad? And Royle said he was thankful not to have won as it would have been even worse?
 
Not because it was a good game (it was terrible), but a 0-2 midweek match at Ipswich in the late 90s springs to mind.

On the train back to London, I didn't pick my programme up, and another Blue handed it to me joking it might be worth something some day.

He then finished with "Keep the Faith, eh?"

As a parting comment in those days, perfect.

That's the one, the cops let us go at about 10.40pm. Bradbury also missed a good chance for a winner in stoppage time which would certainly have made things interesting!
 
1-1 at Blackpool in the cup

Lakey’s crazy last minute equaliser


1-1 at Villa when Micah scored the late late leveller
