The whole of the 2006-7 season under Pearce.
Awful!
Awful!
Doesnt get much worse than that.Flying over for my first ever Chumps league game against BMGladbach, driving 4 hours up to Manchester, finally walking into the Stadium for the first time, ....Rained out! Oh well let's at lest have a pint...No beer...fuck it, Balti pie and chips, four hour drive back down the m6. Never got a refund either
I thought that it was Bolton but I could be wrong. Whoever it was, yes, they went through to Europe instead of us.Boro that wasn't it? Didn't they go through to the UEFA Cup instead?
Anyone who clocks up 50 seasons should be awarded a chip muffin at each home game! Well done, sir!I'm a city fan of 50 years there's not enough time and space to put all down.
Pretty sure it was Boro. He put David James up front, blobby fowler missed the pen and we missed out on europe. Think he also left Macken on the bench to put James up front. I'm not sure i was as pissed off as say the United game when we could of lost the league, but it was so embarrassing we had reached a new low for even City that day.I thought that it was Bolton but I could be wrong.

Mine was pissed off and pissing wet. Night game Ipswich home. Typically poor season so met my brother in The Oxford on Oxford Road. Left to go to the ground in time and I can't remember the rain coming down so hard and we got absolutely soaked through. We then had to watch a team with Michael Vonk up front. Pitch was aleady waterlogged before the game tbh but Vonky somehow ran through and hit one as hard as he could which dribbled over the line. Cue ref deciding it was unplayable and called it off. I then had to get wet again,drive my brother back to Lancaster cos there wasn't a train and drive back home. My car seats were still wet the next day. Oh how I miss those days!!!
Same for me, exactly.City 2-3 Spurs (1981 : FA Cup final)
City 1-3 Lyon (2020 : Chumps)
What a game to start with. I'd like to say it got better from there but I'm not sure it did for quite a whileMy eldest son's first City match !
barm cake surely!!!...Anyone who clocks up 50 seasons should be awarded a chip muffin at each home game! Well done, sir!
The 17th April 2010 my birthday and we are at home to the Scum and the game is into injury time. Then 2:42 into the added time that little runt Scholes scores the winner. I kicked everything around me coffee cups, discarded food containers and seats I have never been so pissed off in all my life.
