Anyone who thinks a loss in the QF of the CL is humiliating, after what City have been through the last 30/40 years, wants their head checking.
That's the little ol' City mentality I'm talking of. We're not a tin pot club anymore and haven't been since the 90s. Last night was humiliating due to the style of football we played and by the standards we're at now.
Losing to a shit team when you know you're shit is a lot less humiliating.

Good call.1-0 Wigan in the FA Cup Final.
The worst result for the club since Wigan FA Cup Final.Anyone who thinks a loss in the QF of the CL is humiliating, after what City have been through the last 30/40 years, wants their head checking.
Correct. It wasn’t humiliating. We were toothless again in the latter stages. Lyon played very well but we gave them every opportunity. It’s a CL 1/4 final. No humiliation there.Anyone who thinks a loss in the QF of the CL is humiliating, after what City have been through the last 30/40 years, wants their head checking.

Correct, just a sub-standard performance.Correct. It wasn’t humiliating. We were toothless again in the latter stages. Lyon played very well but we gave them every opportunity. It’s a CL 1/4 final. No humiliation there.
Just to put into perspective a little. It’s a game of football contested by two teams. The operative word there being contested. If it wasn’t possible for either team to be able to impact the result then it’s not a contest. And if it’s not a contest then what’s the point.
We all love over the years the giant killers in the FA cup. We all like to cheer for the underdog and a lot of times the underdog prevails. It’s part of the game and sometimes a team gets a surprise result.
Despite the fact we should’ve done this or done that, or VAr or should’ve made changes earlier whatever else. It was still a very close contest and some more focus from Raz would’ve brought us to 2-2. Our arse dropped again in Europe and it shouldn’t come as a surprise, we’ve seen it since long before Pep. Lyon weren’t surprised and seemed ready for us. They played well, had they got this result against Bayern or Barca then we’d be saying hats off to them, how well organised they are. How we knew they’re a good side having come away from our previous 2 meetings with 4 points.
They got the better of us, it’s annoying, but no way at all should it be considered a humiliation.
Brazil 1 Germany 7 was a humiliation,
Bayern 8 Barca 2 was a humiliation.
Boro 8 City 1 was a humiliation.
Rags 1 City 6 was a humiliation that I most enjoyed, and will probably rewatch that at some point over the next couple a weeks haha

Early ones for me were Shrewsbury and Halifax in the cup while we were a top flight club
