Which 3 City losses have made you most angry with City, and which 3 losses have made you proud of to be a Blue!

The 3 losses that have made me angry
1 Spurs 1981 FACup final
2 Any loss to RAGS(except see below)
3 Any loss to Dippers
Might change top one to any loss to Spuds.Champions League final(Chelsea)and FA Cup(Wigan).My mood was surprisingly mooted.Something about the 3 clubs above that annoys me.Luton 83 I was possibly to young to appreciate significance
The 3 losses that have made me proud to be blue
1 United 4-3 Owen winner(I knew we had then rattled that day)
2 Real Madrid last season(Outplayed the biggest club in the World and lost a lottery)
3 Watching us play our first Champions League Away(Bayern)
 
3rd 5-0 to utd at the swamp, awful performance from us, just horrible.
2nd 1974 league cup final v Wolves, lost 2-1, we had.been huge favorites going into the game, 12 year old me thought we couldn't lose.
1st Luton at home 0-1. I will never ever feel as bad as I did after that game, losing a cup final is tough, but this beats that x 100

Proud in defeat

3 City v Newcastle away FA Cup game under Keegan, went down to 10 men before half time and fully deserved to win
2. 1981 League cup semi final at Anfield, drew 1-1 but lost over the 2 legs. Played brilliant over the 2 games and deserved to go through.
1. City v Utd in FA Cup 3rd 0-3 and down to 10 men, absolutely played them off the park but lost 3-2
 
Spurs in the cup when Terry Phelan scored his wonder consolation goal and sparked a pitch invasion is worthy of a mention. I was convinced we were going to Wembley that year. I might not have been so bothered if I'd known how many times we would visit since
 
Proud in defeat:
Madrid (H) 23/24 1-1 lost on pens
Spurs (H) 18/19 4-3 lost on away goals
Liverpool FA Cup 3-2 came from 3-0 down 21/22

Rags 2-1 at the weekend
Rags 2-1 19/20
Rags 2-0 19/20
Rags 2-1 FA Cup Final 23/24
Rags 17/18 3-2
 
3. Chelsea at home in December 2016, a 1-3 defeat. When Aguero went through early doors, David Luiz wiped him out. Martin woman Tyler and Ratboy Neville knew full well it was a red card. Anthony Alty Taylor put his whistle to his lips, one hand towards his pocket and the other to the ear piece that wasn't a thing back then, and then waved play on. Try to find this incident on the internet. It doesn't exist anymore. Read the match report by Phil McNulty on BBC Sport. It isn't mentioned. It was the most mind boggling decision I've ever seen involving City and convinced me that all was not right with the game. I'm glad that Sergio knobbled Luiz later in the game. That little twat Cesc Fabregas allowed Fernandinho to push him over the advertising hoarding to get another red card for us. He even looks behind him to make sure he knows where he is. Horrible match.

Yep. I was in the South Stand, and as I remember it Sergio was bombing pretty wide down the left wing coming towards us. It was crystal clear that he was through, and I'm pretty sure Luiz was the last man before the keeper. The ball was long, long gone. Luiz went for the man, wasn't even thinking about the ball. It is the second most outrageous non-red I've seen.
Top prize? Well, it involves one of our own, our very own Nigel de Jong. World Cup Final, Spain vs Netherlands, 2010. Now I loved Nige, and we could well do with some of his “enforcer” stuff in midfield at present, but that was not a foul. He planted the sole of his boot, really hard, going into him, high into Iniesta's chest. It was not a foul, it was common assault, and if he'd done that in the street and a policeman had been watching, he could have done for assault. Howard Webb was reffing, and there's no question, Webb is one of the very best refs there's been in my lifetime. I couldn't believe my eyes when he let it go. To this day, I am firmly convinced that Webb didn't want to go down in history as the first ref to have red carded a player in a WC final. It was pretty early in the match, too. Nigel was a lucky boy, a very, very lucky boy.
 
I was proud after the 1-0 loss in the UCL Semi Final to Madrid in May 2016.

Before this season we'd been getting knocked out in the group stages or the occasional Last 16, but this was the first time we went on decent run.

Beating a very good PSG side in the QF and then having a very good go against the mighty Real Madrid in the semi final only losing 1-0 over the 2 legs.

I was very proud of how far we'd come after that game
Sorry but if it is the game i'm thinking off i would put it down as a huge disappointment.
We never looked like scoring all game
That was a strange game, we played like we didn’t really wanna win, it was as if Pellegrini had been told not to win because that was why Pep was coming.
 
Strangely, being at Stoke singing 'Are you watching Macclesfield' as it became clear we were going down was one of my prouder moments as a City fan. That black gallows humour was something to behold that day.
Also we wiped the floor with Stoke that day, so shouldn't be in a list of defeats.
 
I'm still raging about the CL final against Chelsea. We had no business losing that game :(
The signs were there in the weeks before. We all of a sudden got very sloppy and couldn’t pick it up again. Very poor performance in that game.
Completely on Pep, not once did he play our strongest team against Chelsea in FA Cup, PL home game then again in the CLFinal, starting that final without a DM was the biggest f*** up since Icarus, as soon as the team sheet game out the after party was off.
