Ooh look, its the face of the Cows Arse again, why can't they just get behind the lads FFS.
Fuck em.
So here's a thread for all your unmemorable performances whilst beng in the unfortunate position of being a city fan. Was it the 5-0 at Blackpool or the 3-0s away at Mansfield or Oldham? Maybe Reading in the quarters of the FA cup? Theres a hell of a lot to choose from in the past three seasons alone.

Macclesfield away was a classic. We managed a 1-1 draw against a team who, a few days later, would go on strike citing being mentally unfit to play due to unpaid wages.
A point against a side who, in their own words, weren’t really capable of playing football anymore. Powerhouse Bradford City.

My lad brought a mate along for the ride, don't think hes mentally cured yet. I think that game was the beginning of the end for BowyerS. The body language of the team, Vaughan in particular, stank the place out. Highlight was a steward being stood in front of Charlie Murgatroyd and just wishing the world would end rather than prolong the experience.

Wrexham away in the auto windscreen trophy 1994 lost 6-1. Think we were 5 down after half hour and it was as horrendous as the score suggests.

Yeah but we made them tired so they lost their next game, in fact we did that to a lot of teams.

We lost 6-0 and they hardly seemed to get out of second gear. It was like they were saving a bit of energy for the piss up afterwards. To make matters worse our fans were gushing afterwards about what a great side Bristol were. Embarrassing.

That’s up there with the one about not giving out contacts in case it upsets the lads that aren’t getting one. Christ we’ve been fed some bullshit down the years, it’s no wonder we’re jaded.

The last game of the relegation season, can't remember who it was. Watching some of our fans give them a round of applause at the end was probably the angriest i've ever been at a football match. Staying through the pain to the bitter end to give them a load of shit only to be fighting with the bantams family applause for the players attention. Football supporting doesn't get any lower.

Blackpool away under Todd. Lost 4 or 5 nil. Memorable for when Todd 'gave up' himself, sitting on the bench with his hands behind his head, feet fully outstretched. Clearly it was a message to his players that if they can't be arsed then neither could he but it's not what you wanted to see as a fan.
Strange team back then. With Windass and Summerbee we could beat anyone. Without them we were dog shit.

Summerbee laid on plenty of chances but got dogs abuse because he didn't run around like a headless chicken, something our fans demand. Christ there's been some desperate times supporting this club.

I did the minutes silence and fucked off to the pub. I knew the failure loving gompers would do that, I just couldn't help laughing. It was confirmation this club had turned into a laughing stock from top to bottom from boardroom to the pitch to the stands. It wasn't and still isn't the club I fell in love with 30 odd years ago.

Parky did a lot to change around the general apathetic feel that had been around our club for years and years. His football was questionable at times but it was heartening to go to away games in league 1 with a swagger as a fan. Taking 2 or 3 thousand to most local away games, had a party feel to it sometimes which seemed to piss off the bantams family.

This club is fucked until an intelligent city fan wins 190 on the euromillions. As if the odds weren't high enough without having to find an intelligent city fan too.

This club is fucked until an intelligent city fan wins 190 on the euromillions. As if the odds weren't high enough without having to find an intelligent city fan too. Looking back on it it's what this club needed, a no nonsense approach with football to match. Had we tried to play our way out of the division McCall style we'd never have got out. Typical City though, Parky single handedly build this club into a serious proposition to a point where we look like playoff regulars and our owners sell at the first opportunity to a right pair of clowns. Ones never seen a football match, the other is a delusional fantasist. As much as Lawn would have struggled to take us forward at least he had the club at heart and was reluctant to sell. I did read he thanked Julian for it a few months back in one of Parkers interviews.

Over the years we've always been the team you want to play if you're on a losing streak.
Think one year we played stockport (might be wrong) and they were bottom and hadn't won in over 15 matches and we managed to roll over.

'That' 0-4 home defeat to Wimbledon.
The hapless defence more or less waving the opposition through to finish off a psychologically ruined Sattlemier.
Kind of summed up city's season.

At home against Peterborough one Boxing Day. Can’t even remember the score but The Character put in one of the most abject performances I’d ever seen being at fault for all Posh’s goals, even managing to be caught out of position at a City goal kick for one goal.
The shitness on the pitch was all cancelled out after the game in the dressing room where he was good to have around apparently.

How far back we going?
Rotherham and Town away under Weatherall.
Blackpool away the other year under Grayson (Edin).
