Where would you rank last night in terms of disappointments?

[paulchapo]

I detest the champions League. All that history clubs bollocks, especially the fucking scousers who were responsible for deaths and injuries and getting English clubs banned. Some fucking history eh? Also the shit, veering on corrupt,officiating. I hate everything about it so I won't support it. Sure I want us to win it, mainly to shut the arseholes who used it as a stick to beat us with, plus I know as a club we want it. So it didn't hurt as much as some results for me, it was more annoyance we blew a game we had won.

 

[Maly]

Yep. TV goes straight off if there's even a sniff of them about to show the 'highlights' of that game. For a couple of years Villa was the person I most hated on the face of the earth until along came Pleat!

Still hate Pleat to this day as sad as that is

These are my thoughts exactly, the best thing about being in it at the later stages is depriving the history clubs.

A dipper fan at work said I’m taking it well, I said I want 4 shit 1 nil wins & I’ll be delighted & the boys can go on a well deserved holiday. It didn’t take long for him to admit he’d rather win the league.

I said you can say all you want about best in Europe or world champs but if we win the league your the second best team in the NW.

The ones that always come into my mind are that Owen goal for the rags in the millionth minute of injury time and the disallowed Sterling goal against spurs in the CL. If I’m honest I’d put this behind both of those.. That Owen goal happened as a lone city fan in a pub full of rags, i nearly got bottled. The Sterling goal I jumped around the room screaming for 2 minutes, nearly lost my voice being VAR chalked it off

Last night was worse for me than every relegation added together. The Raheem goal v Spurs and Llorente's handball runs it close. Last night made me feel ill - I still do - and I'm never ill. The thing about relegation is that you deserve it. You finish top you deserve to win it - no arguing.

Pleat and Villa didn't cheat us though.

Agree with that. This only runs 2nd to last years defeat to Chelsea. I'm mega gutted. We had the game won several times and let those wankers back in every fucking time.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

The rags are laughing sad feckers wishing pep to be sacked they have even got a poll.anything that brightens up there sad existence up.They are realising they wont be winning honours anytime soon.Even if they have 1 haag 2 haag 10 haags!

 

[Beanhead]

I took my metal mental well-being day off at work as it seemed as good time as any day to take off lol and the kids school was closed for polling. Just back from taking them to see Lion King in the West End and it’s recharged me… let’s smash the barcodes on Sunday!

 

[HarrytheBlue]

You're right - we've been subjected to dodgy decisions in the CL year after year, which is why I'm seriously considering binning the CL Cup Scheme next season. Nothing to do with last night's result, which was of City's own making, but that ref's display was yet another in a long line. There is definitely something going on IMHO.

And last night the fecking world saw them screw us over. Some sports journo has to do an undercover job, get a job at UEFA in the PR Comms dept, hidden mic. A Donal MacIntyre type job. Same in the Prem.

 

[Adu]

Anybody else weirdly feeling worse tonight than yesterday? I think yesterday I was sort of in shock, 24 hours later it’s hit me properly, gutted.

 

[west didsblue]

Just remembered CSKA in 2014. Losing at home, getting 2 players sent off and being stitched up by the ref. That was pretty grim. Not at the level of last night or Spurs but memorable for all the wrong reasons nonetheless.

 

[Blue Theatre]

There have definitely been many worse days as a City fan:

- worse humiliations (eg: going out of FA Cup 0-1 to Halifax Town in 1980)

- worse shoot-ourselves-in-foot disasters (eg: wasting time at 2-2 in 1996 because Ball didn't realise we needed to win to avoid relegation)

- worse "how the hell did we lose that !?" moments in vital cup games (eg: losing 0-1 to an 89th minute Notts Co goal in FA Cup in 1991 after missing an absolute hatful of easy chances)

- worse "I don't believe what's just happened to us" disasters (eg: Jamie Pollock's ridiculous solo own goal on our way to relegation in 1996)

Etc, etc ... no need to go on, as depressing myself.

Just saying that last night probably gets into my Top-Ten disasters, but there are loads of other contenders.

 

[cheekybids]

Spurs 81
Luton
Halifax
Shrewsbury
Brentford
Chelsea & Palace Div 2
Bournemouth 3-3
United 3-3
Spurs FA Cup QF
Liverpool 2-2 relegation
Bury
County x2
Macc Town
Etc etc

Not sure last night gets anywhere near the top 20 of my list of disappointments, but along with the Bournemouth & United games, right up there with how the fuck did we throw that away?

The fa cups always hurt cos that was the dream, despite being shit you could put together a lucky cup run.

So adding losing to West Ham 2006 to a few of those that was the point where I thought we’ll never win another trophy again.

 

[theres only one carlito]

The Wigan FA cup final I coulda done without

 

[colin's bell helmet]

No where even close to some of the days in the past getting relegated... It was a sickener to lose the way we did but didn't bring me to tears like the relegations in the 90's did. It was like my world caved in going into the 3rd tier of English football so getting over losing a champions league semi final is an absolute piece of piss especially when we're top of the premier league and 4 games away from being champions of England again! Don't really care to much for the champions league really, the standards of officials is diabolical and the shithousery of foreign teams is beyond the fuckin pale. Apparently there was 5mins 32 secs of actual football played in that 2nd half of extra time and only 'a minimum of 3mins' added on and 2mins 50secs was played....utter bollocks.

 

[Rascal]

Not even in the same universe as the loss to Luton. The only time I have cried at a football match. I sat on the Kippax in tears.

Not even on the same planet as the loss to Spurs in the 81 cup final replay.

Its not in the same league as relegation to the 3rd division

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Spurs 81.

4-3 against United.

3-2 against United.

Spurs Sterling goal disallowed.

United League Cup semi-final under Mancini.

Arsenal 1-0.

Losing at home to Bolton to last min pen after hitting post five times.

Middlesbrough final day Fowler penalty miss.

Liverpool 2-2 relegation.

Spurs FA Cup QF home defeat pitch invasion.

Wigan in two FA Cup games.

It doesn't rank close. If someone had told me at the start of the season that a team would get to the CL final, be playing Real Madrid, score 5 goals over 2 legs, be 2 goals ahead in the 89th minute and still lose, I'd have been able to tell you exactly who it would be.

 

[Scott mcfc]

In the modern day era ,since sheik take over ect,idd say thats worst,yess the majority of us have seen worse,flip side of it,at least were arrivin at late stages and enjoyin the bloody ride,its goin to be an intrestin summer for city ,we will be back

Exactly. I think quite a few Blues have forgotten or never experienced true footballing pain.

The type of pain that doesn't punctuate a goal from Dickov or Sergio.

The type of pain where you question why the fuck you continue, the pain where you selfishly question why always to us?

Well, why the fuck not? We have no divine right to anything.

You can look the best boxer in the world but until you get punched on the nose a few times, you don't learn if you have what it takes.

My 14-year-old lad sat watching it on the TV with me and he was crestfallen, I could see he was visibly shaken.

I also remember him crying when Wigan beat us and he six at the time.

He's never known anything but bus parades.

Told him to forget about it and go to bed, tomorrow is another day.

It makes the special times even more special.

We have thousands of younger fans and others from around the world who will be the much the better for a punch on the nose now and again.

Otherwise, you end up like all these United wankers now who don't have the coping mechanisms to understand there is no timeline on failure and disappointment.

Drink it in. Stop listening to fucking Adele and woe betide me twats.
