Tears of Pain.

This. Plus about 25 years prior to Pearce's arrival.

When have you cried with pain and anguish as a City fan, rather than joy?

The one and only time I have ever cried, was during the first season at the new stadium. We were almost staring relegation in the face, and with around 4 or 5 games to go, we lost 3-1 to Southampton, and it left us two points above the relegation zone. I thought that was it. Premier League over. Being ten, I cried as my dad, who had taken me, escorted me out of the ground. That was the worst I've ever felt as a Blue.

I remember this game this very well.. I was about a year older than you if I recall correctly, we were 2-0 down weren't we and then brought one back before Beattie I think finished us? It was alright when Wanchope headed that Newcastle goal though ;)

As for the worst, seeing Rooney's goal at the swap last year killed me. I just didn't know what to do.

A horse nearly trampled me before that game. What a header it was.

Only once.Cup final replay 81.

Never cried but had a lump in my throat the last ever game at Maine road.!!!!

I did cry momentarily..nobody saw it and now I am one of those (despite my advanced years) who doesn't miss it and loves my Eastlands' matchday routine more than Maine Road.

I might have cried a bit when Luton put us down, but I've grown up a bit since then!

Ipswich 2-1.

Gutted I were.. Only 10.

Had new moments of 'joy'.. First leg on the semi of the carling cup. never seen us in a semi final the teams coming out. It got to me!

 

[NPBlue]

Never.

I may be annoyed occasionally, but tears about a game of football..........Nah

Is it a new age man thing?

Is it a new age man thing?

This.

Remember that dark curly haired guy who supported Arsenal? The camera panned onto him going fucking bonkers as Arsenal wrapped up the title. He looked psychotic.

Remember any number of fans where the camera has panned onto them and they're blubbering?

Give me that Arsenal fan any day of the week, because if a camera panned onto me and I was doing what he did, total respect instantly off the whole nation, (he became a bit of a legend after that), whereas if the camera panned onto me and I was crying and wiping tears away, i'd become vilified instantly, especially in my circle of friends! I'd never ever live it down.

Get a grip! it's a game of football

It's a way of life, death and family to some folk.

I always take my cue from the look of Moonchester. We win 5-0 - check the smile! We lose 5-0 - have another look at the smile!
