Can you remember a specific game /memory when you felt really let down by City and I don't mean an obvious one like the Spurs game or a last minute Derby defeat. One that has been completely irrelevant and had no bearing on our future.

I remember vividly playing Wigan at home in 2008 and feeling like we were really happy to draw that game 0-0. We showed absolutely no ambition to try and win the game and I remember coming away infuriated. It still annoys me to this day . We should have actually have lost if Zaki didn't miss an open net form 6 yards out.

So what's your personal city woe that still pisses you off today?

The Zaki miss game was when we beat them 1-0 with 10 men and Hart shouted to the crowd "don't give me the ball back". The 0-0 was before they had Zaki.
 
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

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

I remember the tv lowlights from that game. The camera panned to the crowd after and City were screaming "you're not fit to wear the shirt!". There was a young blond lady belting it out from the heart and crying her eyes out. Her passion made me want to support City more. She was pure blue. Bet she's smiling more now.

Do you mean the 1-1 at their place in Jan 2008. They were absolutely dire that season yet we could only manage a draw. From memory we created enough to win but were playing cows arses and banjos once again. I think we had to explain to a few why Darius Vassell was their MOTM on the night.
Sven's magic was well on the wane.
Also a couple of draws against Watford in 2006-07 under Pearce. Both games were dire and Watford were relegated with hardly a whimper.
Losing to lower division teams in cup is always painful but the opposition often raise their game. Against Derby and Watford the opposition didn't have a clue what to do but we still couldn't beat them.
 
Standing on the terrace at a windy cold Boundary park for a 0-0 bore draw. Dire. No creativity, total fear and both teams perilously close to relegation.
Losing at highbury and the highlight being Henry make a balls of a penalty that he tried passing sideways to Petit?
1-1 away at Palace when Keith Curle equalised from the spot late. We were 3rd but very low quality.
0-0 at Charlton under Pearce. Locked in for half hour after.
I was on really crap money and just felt robbed to be honest. Pre takeover the football was mostly tripe.

We never drew 0-0 there under Pearce or were locked in there this century? Never had a lock in under Pearce at any ground did we?
