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

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.
 
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.

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.
 
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.
 
Not sure about most angriest but the 3 most heartbreaking games for me are the 1-0 defeat against rags at etihad when that ginger fucker scored a header in 93rd min, the crouch header to stop us getting in top 4 and the Chelsea game CL final.

3 proud losses:

Hamburg at home.
Madrid last season, did absolutely everything bar score the winner.
4-3 defeat at OT.

That scholes **** one and the Owen one are the closest I've been to fighting. There was a mini brawl after the Owen one and this **** celebrated infront of me in the pub.

The Chelsea final didn't feel real when it happened, all that hype we had going in to it. Then thinking we'd never win it.

Every CL quarter/semi we lost on away goals I'd feel robbed.

Also the Scouse rats in the fa cup semi final.

Beating Stoke 5-2 and still getting relegated. 13 years old and wondering what the fuck I was wasting my time for.

CL final against Chelsea. I was utterly convinced we'd walk that final. Then the lineup got announced and I knew we were fucked. Never watched any of it back, I couldn't even tell you who scored for Chelsea.

Spurs CL QF. I was that angry I nearly twatted a gloating Spud on the way back to the car. Ruined the game as a whole for me that night and I've attended about 10 games since after going home and away for nearly 25 years. Unable to celebrate a goal since unless it's an absolute thunderbastard as I'm just waiting for it to be disallowed, and when it isn't, the moment is gone.

Totally with you on not celebrating goals now. And the odd occasion I have since then the flecking officials ALWAYS find some way to disallow.

Losses for me, Luton 1983. CLF 2021 and Lyon CL 2020.

The FA Cup this year - everyone of them apart from Doku should hang heads in shame. Couldn't they wait a fcuking week to celebrate the PL x 4 and most likely a double double?? That was an absolutely disgusting and unprofessional way to behave and completely disrespectful to the 30k fans who spent time and money going to support. An absolute shit show that day.

Wigan final - again player power ruined that without regard for fans plus the goaly situation. I very rarely criticise the club/ team but some of those occasions.

And yes the bloody Spurs CL game still annoys me and has made me paranoid about goal celebrations. It would NEVER have been chalked off if it had been a Red top cartel team. That result handed Dips the CL.
 
The first 'proud defeat' I thought of was the 1-0 loss in the FA Cup at Newcastle in 2002. We were a division below them. Dunney was sent off in the first half and despite that we outplayed them for most of the game and were desparately unlucky not to get anything. Our support was magnificent that night too.

Remember a derby where Kompany got sent off for a perfectly good tackle on Shrek.

We ended up losing 2-3 but we battered them with 10 men in the second half.

Sent him off pretty early in the game and we ended three down at half time. Aguero ran them ragged in the second half, think we nearly equalised with a Kolorov free kick.
 
Proud defeat for me was 3-2 loss to the rags in the cup

3-0 down half time
Down to 10 Men

We gave them quite a scare

Think the fact they seemed desperate avenge the 6-1, it ended up leaving them open at back.
