Got stick about that at school for weeks afterwards

FA Cup final in 1979
Going out of Europe against Galatasaray that time (94?) made worse by living in Leeds

There's some real depressing stuff in this thread, but it's made me appreciate how fortunate I am to support United. At least we've had plenty of wonderful days; some poor bastards rarely see their team win a match, never mind win a trophy.

Didn't Ipswich miss a couple of pens that day too ?

Thumbs down

Too many to mention but the first game at Anfield after winning the league in 93. 3-0 up and absolutely ripping them a new one for the game to finish 3-3 knocked me sick for £#%&!ing weeks. Still have to turn it off if it pops up on sky.

Reportedly that was a match that Grobellaar had agreed to throw, leaving him £125,000 out of pocket.

Good shout. I thought that was finally The Day when I'd see United utterly humiliate the vermin in the own back yard. It was 3-0 in about 20 minutes or something, I thought they could go on and get at least 3 more.

Some #@&%!head said to me afterwards, 'yeah, but it was a great advert for football'. £#%&! [SIZE="3"]off.

Other than the obvious 2012 and all the suicidal thoughts that followed, two major ones stick in my mind.

Conceding two late goals at Coventry (a Darren Huckerby worldy FFS) and getting beat 3-2. We were riding the crest of a wave, coasting the league, favorites for Europe and getting plaudits from all angles. Suddenly that day, a sickening feeling came over me that it would all come crashing down - it did.

The other was Arsenal in 2007. Had the chance to 9 clear of Maureen's Chelsea and stung by two late sucker punches. Really felt we'd blown it that day. 2007 was the sweetest title win for me.

The moral of the story is losing to a last minute winner is about as bad as it gets. Say you want about City's big wins against us lately, but all them last minute winners we've had the last few years must have been gutting

Barca in Rome hurt.....

Many reasons, long £#%&!ing trip, we deserved better...

United ran every bar in the city after that and hollered the subway..

We didnt turn up.

We'd been found out... The rot was in full flow..

first one as a kid in '64 losing a sf to WHU - nailed on to get to the cup final for the 2nd yr running vs Preston as well

following year losing sf vs @#%&!ing Leeds to a last minute, 2nd replay extra time goal that hit the back of Bremner's head and went in

losing to Partizan Belgrade in the EC sf after trouncing Benfica away 5-1 which would be the equiv of doing it to Madrid now. Underestimated them but should've won despite missing Denis. Bawled me eyes out when I went to bed.

relegation amidst getting beat by the bitters at home in last match

losing CF vs Southampton in 76

failing to beat WHU in 95 last match

possibly the biggest disappointment was Dortmund cos I just thought it was nailed on. So did the players. Would've been the first EC since 68

Porto not far behind esp the manner of the loss so late on

oddly enough, I just didn't expect us to win the title over Leeds in 92 and just felt a bit resigned to it probably because it had been so long - felt a bit numbed but not devastated.....

.....similar feelings when the berts scabbed it a couple of years back. The final whistle had gone for us and I switched over and just knew the @#%&!s would scrape it esp when QPR were all dancing on the £#%&!in touchline

On the bright side, we've had a lot more to shout about though, so how must it feel supporting anyother club? Maybe expectations just aren't there???
