The worst I've ever felt coming away from a game of football was against Spurs in the abandoned cup game. Obviously turned out ok in the end but I was absolutely distraught and thought he'd had it.

 

After that, Patterson giving Oldham an ill deserved late gift comes close for me. Otherwise we'd have been off to Wembley.

Apart from the ones mentioned,Pompey midweek 4-0,spurs 6-0 in league cup stand out for me.

 

Not performance wise but only time I have cried was Southampton away in cup as a young lad it was to much and also was the journey home

Agree with both, especially as I had to get back to Southampton after the Oldham game. The Spurs one had an atmosphere afterwards like no other - and I hope no other again. 

Other than that, Aldershot.  Burnley had just flirted with going out of the league, and walking away from Burnden I really thought that could be us next year. 8 years later I walked away from Wembley after one of the greatest playoff games ever, with a place in a new fangled super-rich league booked. I'd never have thought that on the trudge away from Burnden having seen the Aldershot team coach driver picking bits of glass out of his face after someone caved his windscreen in.

Just to throw one in that hadn't been mentioned

 

The 5-0 at Sheffield wednesday. That season its bad losing to a decent team by that score but they were shite, sacked their manager the week before and that lanky streak of piss petr rudi or whatever he was called took the piss

 

All before half time and all

Scarboro - surely the lowest point.

I thought Scarborough away was ace! Hot day, seaside, scooter knobs having a go, that bloke that fell asleep leaning on a wall at the back of our end, chucking scooters off the sea wall, massive away following. Ok we got beat 47 nil or summat but fuck it, what an away day that was!!!!

rudi, di canio, Andy booth whoever

 

They all took the piss that day

Only ever seen two players get 10/10 ratings against us in Sunday papers.

 

One was Di canio for Sheff Weds that day and the other was Paul Jones for Southampton when they drew 0-0 at reebok the same season.

Black Sunday but at the time didn't realise the significance.

 

I'd go for boro cup final like gonzo. Should have had that in the bag!

 

Stoke semi was embarrassing.

 

Controversial... Should have put a full squad out and smashed Lisbon!

This is probably your benchmark then and would explain why you never seem to think it's that bad, when it actually is/was

Similarly I don't get over stressed at us being mid table in division 2

Aldershot play off's 2nd leg will always be the darkest of the dark for me

Was this the match in 1987 when we were relegated? If it was - that was my first ever match! So actually, despite the result, quite a positive match for me as the next season I became a regular in the "sitting on the railings of the Burnden Terrace and only see your dad at full time" gang.

 

For me, Boro in Carling final was frustrating as we had so long in the game to do something to get a result.
