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

Chelsea CLF absolute worst.
Wigan FA Cup
2 up against rags to win league

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

1. Champions League final v Chelsea - as soon as neither Rodri or Fernandinho were announced in the starting line up for the 1st time the whole season we all just knew........ yet Pep didn't.....

2. FA Youth Cup final 1st leg 2006. Friday night game at Anfield. Youth Cup captain Micah Richards not available to play because Stuart fucking Pearce wanted to play him in a meaningless last 1st team game of the season at Upton Park the following day which ended up 0-0 and mattered not one bit. Youth Team lost 3-0. A Richards inspired City won the 2nd leg 2-0 but just couldn't get the third. Would never have lost 3-0 with Richards in the side.

3. It wasn't a loss but a 1-1 draw at home to Middlesbrough in what was a UEFA Cup place play off. The game in which Robbie Fowler missed a penalty in injury time that would have seen City win and go into the UEFA Cup (and the game Pearce put David James up front). City pissed me off that day because despite the importance of the game, all the club was concerned about was shifting next seasons away kit as City turned out for an important home game wearing next seasons purple shite away kit. I wrote to City asking whose decision was it to do that and all I got back was ''it was a unanimous decision, even the manager was behind it''. I wrote back again and asked specifically to name the person who brought the idea up in the first instance. I'm still waiting for the reply. Shocking decision.

As for the 2nd part.... always proud to be a Blue no matter what the result.

I'm still angry about losing the cup final to the rags and even angrier about the stupid shite our embarrassment of a captain came out with after it.

Boxing Day 1968 1-3 loss to Everton, my first game at Maine Road, the Wigan cup final and the game against Spurs in the champions league where we were through only to be beaten by VAR.

I'm middle aged ,go back to the maine rd days but 2b honest it hurts more now, I'm getting fuckin worse as I age

It's not age, it's the fact that not many of our games were that important. I can remember envying Chesterfield a good cup run one year.

I was thinking maybe Luton but even that wasn't as bad because there was no social media and, with our gate receipts (which were important then), we were bound to come back up.

 

[leithblue]

Bury at home (1-0)

Stockport at home (2-1)

Lincoln away (4-1)

That should do it for defeats that hacked me off. Nothing this century comes close.

Anger
1. Halifax away in the FA Cup 1980, a totally spineless performance against a team halfway down the 4th tier. It put the seal on Allison's "rebuilding" of what had been a decent side.
2. 6-0 PL defeat at Anfield 1995/96 three days after losing there 4-0 in the League Cup. "alan ball is a fucking football genius" - in his dreams.
3. Wigan 2013 FA Cup Final - the players more or less downed tools with all the off-field happenings, totally unacceptable at any time but especially in a final.

I'm usually pissed off after any defeat so I can't say any stick in my mind for feeling proud of their performance.

No time this morning to think this through properly but I remember my Dad consoling me as I cried my eyes out at Wembley when we lost the 1974 League Cup Final….
