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...?
Southampton was an epic trip. We jibbed the trains all the way down and back and missed the first half because we were dancing in a nearby pub. Incredible turn-out of City fans as well.Wet and windy at Southampton? That is an understatement! I had my punk leather jacket on with Siouxsie & The Banshees painted on the back. Took days to dry out!
Four stick in my mind:
- Northampton Town away, 2-2 (1998, I think) - thousands of Blues there, many sat in the main home stand with us; Goater announced himself as a scrappy, almost skill-less player who nevertheless could score important goals
- Chelsea at home, 2004 - lost 1-0 to Gudjohnsen goal and even he admitted afterwards that they had robbed us; Van Buyten was immense
- Hamburg UEFA Cup - lost over the two legs but that home game was the best atmosphere we've ever had
- Utd 2-3 loss in FA Cup - Vinny sent off, 3-0 down at half time...yet we came off to a standing ovation and they took a lot of stick for nearly throwing it away

Was a great game and atmosphereTotally forgot about the Hamburg game! That's my choice, absolutely incredible atmosphere and was proud of the club and the fans at the final whistle.
