Larsson making it 3-1 to Sunderland on our own turf. This compounded further by the United game against Blackburn, not only their fans chants but it just seemed at that point as if United's character was so strong and that they weren't going to lose any games, they were winning pretty much every game where people thought they might drop points.
Balotelli's red card against Arsenal and the reaction it led to by players (Hart), fans, and Mancini (still to this today can't understand how Mancini didn't decide to take him off). Created a very distasteful atmosphere for a few days until the WBA game, with Mancini's authority and the team spirit seriously under threat.
Losing 1-0 at home to Liverpool in the Carling Cup. I know we had injuries/suspensions but we were so dull that night, we'd just gone out of the Champions League and FA Cup and were now on the way out of the Carling Cup. Our season was in serious danger of becoming a failure.
