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

Was proud of the team when we lost 4-5 to Chelsea in the Full Members Cup final. We had come back from two down the previous day at the fleapit. And we looked fitter than them at the end of the final. Another two or three minutes and we’d have got another. They were out in their feet. I was 14 years old and had seen my team score four at Wembley.

It was also notable on a personal level as the only match I have ever been to with me Mum. I tried not to swear but City would make Mother Teresa curse.
 
The 3 losses are any after City had announced Eriksson was leaving, culminating with the massive loss to a team already relegated. the players doing just enough to get their league bonuses.
 
I was gutted about the Chelsea Champions League final loss but don't count it as one of the worst as it was generally just nice to be at a game again with supporters. Would of been nice if baldy could of told us the team before I set off or I might have given someone else my ticket!
 
Angriest -

1. Nottingham Forest at home in the League Cup 4th Round. The weather was fucking awful. Forest were in the 1st division (now Championship) and we had seemingly a straightforward task to get to the quarters. If I recall correctly, trailing the game in the last 10 minutes, we had Alan fucking Kernaghan upfront and Mike Sheron on the bench. I got the two buses back to Eccles after the game, arrived home piss wet through and was met by my mother who uttered the famous words - "There's always next year". I didn't talk to her until the Friday.

2. QPR at home in April 1997. Not the Jamie Pollock own goal, the year before. An abject display which culminated in a long ball sailing towards our goal over the head of Alan fucking Kernaghan. He seemed to stand planted to the spot and gazed admiringly at the Mitre Delta sailing over his head. For some reason, I was in the Platt Lane end where the goal was scored. As the ball hit the net, I got to my feet with the intention of marching onto the pitch to tell Kernaghan and as many of his team mates as I could before the stewards arrived, what a complete fucking disgrace they were. As I reached the end of my row, I had a moment of clarity and exited the stand at the back and stormed to the Beehive instead.

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.

Liverpool league cup Anfield 1981, drew 1 1 on the night, lost 2 1 on aggregate, the dippers did not act like a team that had got to Wembley. On of the bravest City performances ever on the field and off it, nothing left on the pitch the team could not have given more. Not a backward step from our supporters who raised the roof in the Anfield Rd end and paid back scouse thuggery blow for blow. 25 at the time 68 now remember it like it was yesterday.

I was at the game with my Mother too, she swore enough for both of us
 
Gutted by
FA Cup final replay 1981( couldn't get down midweek )
Luton 1983 ( that dance in that suit )
CL Quarter Final Tottenham ( VAR initiation)

United just now ( nothing worse than loosing to that lot but such a terrible way to do it )

Decent losses
Liverpool LC semi final 1981. Proud to have made the trip to that dump . Although no losses are decent
