A defeat like in 2000 - played well enough, but deano's skyer ruined it

 

or

 

Sunday's capitulation, where we simply didn't turn up and got what we deserved?

no brainer for me. 2000 we could lay the finger on one player being wrong for one shot in an entire game.

 

FF ten years and it was almost the entire playing staff.

 

Bolton News had SKD as MoM for Bolton. I'd have struggled to pick!

2011

 

i was confident we'd win.

 

i didnt expect us to be steamrolled.

Davies MOM? The bloke who put that must've been in the Torch on the keg all aft. There wasn't a BWFC MOM

2011 for me , still shellshocked

2011 for me,

2011 without a doubt. Total capitulation from the start.

Sunday for me! Thought we would win but soon as the 1st went in the boys gave up and embarrassed themselves!

dunno

 

I've got over this one pretty quick as we were cack

 

in 2000 we could and should've beaten them, with it all going down to pens, so there's more a case of wondering about what could've been - on sunday there wasn't anyway of it being anything else than the dry bumming we received

 

neither come close to Ipswich though

2011 .... i'd got my hopes up ...really got them up for this one.

 

But we'll bounce back

Watford in 1999 was worse than Villa in 2000.

 

It wasn't as bad as Sunday, I don't think, but it's close.

2000 for me, partly because it was there on a plate for us when Eidur pulled the ball back.

 

And partly because in 2000 we were straight in the car home whereas on Sunday at least I had a good night out in London with some fellow pisscans to cheer me up.

Villa for me. Could and should have won it. Sunday was so completely and utterly dire that I'd given up all sense of rational thought by 50 minutes. I don't feel robbed like I did in 2000, just entered!

Sunday was worse than the other five we lost at Wembley as far as i'm concerned. Probably the best team we've fielded in all those games and we just didn't turn up. The only one that comes close was the Watford game.

Sunday.

In 2000 you could feel proud of the team in defeat.

I'm just embarrassed by, and for the team after that shambles.

And for those still lambasting Holdsworth, if he had played on Sunday and put in the same performance as he did in 2000 (miss included) he would have been our MOTM by a mile.

2000 for me as i was still at a point where i thought it was the only thing in life.....now i am gutted but i still have nightmares now about that miss

I reckon a kick in the stones by jimmy floyd hasslebank wouldn't hurt as much as sunday

The pain of losing the 2 semi-finals cannot compare to the pain of relegation or even missing out on promotion. I know some people on here don't appreciate some of the stories and events of years gone by but it does help to put things into some sort of perspective. In my years watching the team I've seen 6 relegations. I've also seen us miss out on promotion to the likes of Forest, West Brom, Tranmere & Watford. All of those were worse than the 2 Semi-final defeats.

The Aldershot playoff defeat which put us into the old 4th division was the worst by a long way. Bearing in mind that only 8 years earlier, I had witnessed us doing the double over United at OT with the Leagues leading scorer (Frank Worthington) scoring 2. I thought that night that we had finally arrived and that we were there to stay. Only 8 years later, we were in the bottom division.

Watching the Whites is no guarantee of success and we have to accept that there will be other days like Sunday.

I was talking to a Charlton fan on Saturday after the match and he would have still swapped places with me despite the result.

2011 by a massive margin. Only Aldershot and Black Sunday come close.

Sunday, is by far and away the most disappointing performance I can remember, but I was over it in hours, and had a beltin night out.

 

It's only a fucking game.

 

Bring on the Gooners, we'll shit 'em.

Not even the missus uses that line

Absolutley gutted on Sunday. But Ipswich and getting relegated on final day when Everton stayed up were worse feelings, season enders with the whole summer to brood about the injustice of being a Wanderer!

2011 for me

 

didnt turn up ,no excuse for that performance.

dont like losing .but can accept it if you put the effort in,

Carling cup for me as it was a final and the team was better then

2000 for me. We lost by the narrowest of margins.... it went right to the death.

Sunday was over with within minutes.
