Official silly season question

[LongsightM13]

A woeful 1-0 defeat at a freezing Britannia against Pulis’ Stoke, who had already gone down to 10 men when they scored.
Only a couple of weeks after the Forest FA Cup debacle, it was the day the penny dropped for many that Hughes was fucking clueless. Though he would hang around like a fart under a duvet to the end of 2009

Loosing 2 1 at home to stockport County, what pissed me off the most was the guy,.can't remember his name scored the penalty, then mocked us by doing weavers celebration from the play off final, I still hate stockport County to this day for that

tony dinning. his name like alf grey and gary crosby is burnt into my memory.

All kicked off after the game?

More before than after I think

 

[Maly]

More before than after I think

I saw all their lads heading off towards The Bradford Arms before the game. All moody in some pretty nice looking Stone Island gear, but didn’t think anything of it at the time. After the game around the junction with Mary D’s, I’m sure it went off about as bad as I’ve ever seen it at tge Etihad

Zulu’s kicking off with coppers, not fans if it’s the same game?

It’ll be the same game mate. Tbf with a two year old in tow I didn’t go looking for it after the game!

Edit - even without a 2 year old in toe I wouldn’t have been looking to bump into those fuckers!

 

[Jack Joel]

Being 2 nil up against a basically relegated Fulham only for them to beat us 3-2. I think towards the end of Sven's year. As the OP said, it meant nothing in the wider context but went home pissed off that day!

 

[BringBackSwales]

This one ?

Was that the season we went up at Blackburn 4 1?

 

[Bluesince1979]

Spinelessly losing that QF at Ewood Park. A lot of blue on blue hostility that day.

Thats mine. Huge following as always but the team couldnt be arsed. As you say, figgts in the City end. Horrible day to be a blue

 

[Mancini's scarf]

Oct/Nov 1977. It was all new to me then & we were ok. We played a not so good Wolves who beat us 2-0 at Maine Road. I was devastated. I wasn’t used to Cit’s losing then, certainly not at Maine Road. It was important because our next home game was against the scousers who were flying high. We were terrible. I honestly never thought we’d ever lose!

Typical City though next home we bear the scousers 3-1, coming from a goal down.

Brentford away
3-1 loss in FA Cup 4th round

 

[Fordyboy46]

BBC SPORT | Football | Premiership | Man City 0-0 Charlton

Was at that Charlton game, 46 quid as well for utter turgid shite. We didn't create any chances and Pearce wanted fucking off immediately straight after that game in my eyes

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Being 2-0 up at half time against the rags to win the league in the centurions season only to lose the game 3-2, especially as that was probably Pogba’s only good game for them in his entire career.

Meant fuck all but it was clear everyone thought it was done and the players switched off at half time.

Also - almost every time we’ve played Wigan in living memory.

Also - that turgid spineless derby draw a couple of years ago, just before or in the middle of the pandemic I think?

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

FA Cup quarter-final at home to West Ham in 2006 (?).

Kiki Musampa giving West Ham two separate chances to score in the space of about 30 seconds.

Remember being pissed off before this game that our main goal threat, Samaras was injured...shows how far we have come.

Also 2 up home in derby in 93 before collapsing in 2nd half to lose 3-2 or 3-1 up in 1990 home derby and letting them back to 3-3

 

[Silvercloud]

89 v Bournemouth. 3 up at HT which would guarantee promotion. I'm pretty certain this was the first game I was allowed to stand with my mates rather than my Dad & Uncle. We managed to blag a couple of warm Greenalls (every 13 year old choice of tipple!)
A "typical City" day if there ever was one.

I'll agree all of those were awful, but I think the OP was looking for games with little riding on them, but were just inexplicably piss poor to be at.

 

[Ethan23]

Would just like to add losing 0-3 at home to Forest on my birthday in the FA Cup in 2009. Shocking

 

[jimharri]

That cup defeat at home to West Ham (was it in the Pearce Era?). We made, IIRC, Dean Ashton look like prime Ronaldinho that night. That result affected me way more than it should have done. I actually thought we might be in with a chance of a trophy. Home q/f, against a team we could beat. Onto the semi final, a bit of luck, and who knows? What a deluded sap I was.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

When we didn’t put 10 bast the bastards in the sick swan and not setting the FA cup final record score.

Port vale away kinkladze was dire

Was at the game : I can still picture Kinkladze receiving a pass very early in the game and a Port Vale player totally wiping him out with an absolutely career ending sort of challenge. The referee did absolutely nothing and continued refereeing the game in a similar manner. On first reading the thread title , I immediately thought of the Bury game ( mentioned elsewhere in the thread) at which I spent most of the game shaking my head at the shear ineptitude of Frank Clark's master plan of playing one forward against the might of Bury! Happy Days.
