With Sunderland the last time I cried at all would have been when we drew 2-2 with Stoke at home. Daryl Murphy equalised in the last minute to get us a point in the 2006/07 season and I was in absolute floods of tears, didnt even stand up to celebrate when it went in, it was just too much for me and I ended up being the last one to leave the stadium with a bit help from the stewards. That was more to do with the date though (13th March) than the football
The last time purely due to football was the play off final against Charlton- I'm sure everyone who has seen it can imagine what that was like to go through as a fan, and to be on the losing side of it was one of the most gutting things I have experienced.
FAcup 2001 went on beer at 11am that sat morning by 11pm that night was crying my eyes out in the pub where wife worked at time with my mother holding my hand while i wailed like a baby wife thought it was the funniest thing she had ever seen

Had already been hurt at the way we went out to Utd in the FA Cup the season before, ever since then we've been hard done by with those c**ts, will still have the same hatred for them and thier plastic fans in 70 years.
Barce 06 - I don't know which one was worse, this one or the one above. We'd fought against all the odds to get to the final, with so many injuries, a true underdog's journey. To have it end in the final was heartbreaking, I know people will point to Eto'o's offside equaliser but our goal came from an Eboue dive, tit for tat. Probably my worst moment as a Gooner (I'm 18, my earliest memories of Arsenal are the late 90s, and didn't properly get into it until around 01.)
Liverpool 08 - Yet more devastation at the way we'd been robbed, truly heartbreaking. We fought so hard that night, when Theo made that run to set up the equaliser it's probably the wildest I've gone when we've scored, to have Babel dive for a penalty about two minutes later was pure evil after I thought we'd done it. Losing to Utd in the league not long after made it so much worse, 07/08 still haunts me.
+1.....these were enough to make me shed a tear, but as pissed of as I was, i didn't.
The only football incident that made me shed a (real) tear was Ramseys leg break.
