Your worst ever City game witnessed?

Must admit that day was fuckin painfull,cant remember now but who did the suicidal backpass header for there 1st.....

Wasn't it Ian Brightwell like almost the first thing he did after coming on for Peter Reid?

Dont think it was brightwell,i do remember us singing 2-0 up & you fucked it up to them regarding them and a europeon match...and fuck me that came back to haunt us!

Yes, that's what always sticks in my mind about that match (the song). It was a Sunday afternoon game and they'd thrown away a 2 goal lead against Galatasaray during the week. It came back to haunt us big time. I recall Keane and Cantona ran us ragged in the 2nd half. City thought they had it won but in customary fashion blew it.

One of the worst feelings ever, but it wasn't my worst ever City game.
I would agree with the Bury 0-1. I remember my mate and me leaving the ground saying it was rock bottom, we'd never ever seen anything as bad as that and that we were both seriously thinking of jacking it in. I gave him a lift back to Openshaw in complete silence. As I was dropping him off all he said was "see you in a fortnight then". It made me laugh then and still makes me smile now.

Thank God I didn't jack it in (although there was still a lot of pain to come, of course).

Not much mention of this horror show under Pearce.

Wigan 4 City 0

2 nil down after 4 minutes.

Whelan had put the prices up to £40 so only about 2500 there to witness this shambles.

Luton definately, the only good bit was that i was on my knees on the Kippax so missed Pleat dancing

We got battered at Lincoln in the League Cup too around 1996, that was a bad one

Brentford away on the FA Cup was woeful, but not as bad at Shrewsbury & Halifax

Didn't actually witness the Halifax game first hand (thank goodness) but Bernard Halford told me it was the worst moment in his long association with City.

Worst for me was the FA Cup QF at Blackburn in 2007. I've never seen City fans as vitriolic towards the club, team and manager as they were that day. It was like something snapped that day. The irony was that John Wardle had been urged by the board to sack Pearce after the previous game (we lost 1-0 to Wigan at home) and resisted. He certainly knew he had to go after that.

Middlesborough 8 -1, the end of an era.

I don't remember the Turkish Delights but I always stood at the North Stand end of the Kippax in line the penalty area so probably wouldn't have seen it anyway. It wouldn't suprise me if it did happen though. That sort of thing went on in those days.

Been a few over past 10 years! Leicester at home stands out for me, think we lost 3-0. Me and my dad were the only ones left in the north stand near the front and got absolutely drenched!!

I'm not sure but the one game i remember that being truely terrible was away to Port Vale, not sure what the score was as i was only around 8 or 9 years old, just remember my dad grabbing my hand and saying "i can't watch this anymore, we're going". And off home we went never to speak about the game again. I'm pretty sure i've still got the match programme for the game too.
