Most humiliating home defeat

[Awful lineup]

Bolton 1 Coventry 5 

1998

moreso because it was a must win game against a relegation rival 

 

 

[Whitestar]

And weren't we winning at half time?

[darrener]

Bolton 1 Blackburn 4

I got some grief for that

Black Sunday

Utd 1-2 Bolton

Utd 0-1 Bolton

Hope they were really humiliated.

Like a certain game at Wembley I still refuse to believe that game happened.

Wolves last year was pretty bad.

Our annual defeats at home to Bury used to piss me off greatly too

[radcliffe white]

Been a few thinking back 

Bury wasn’t nice 2-4 & 1-3 

Chelsea ripped us 1-5 could of been 10

didnt Crewe do us 3 or 4-1 in the Watford play off season

Black Sunday

Darlington on bonfire night

All Bury away wins against us.

Of the ones I've been to, the Coventry 5-1 was bad. Was still quite wet behind the ears and to see our new space age ground so empty long before the end was horrible.

Those defeats under Coyle to Chelsea and United where they were just repeatedly strolling through at will, including Phil Jones FFS.

The 0-6 to United though, that was pain that lasted a generation.

1. Aldershot game relegating us to bottom tier. Fucking crushed me that game.

2. Black Sunday.

3. The 1-4 v Bury when McGinley and Lee turned us over (long since forgiven)

 

[tomski]

1) black sunday

2) that Friday night Blackburn game

3) Chelsea game when Nat passed

4)West Ham first premier league season

5)Coventry in 98

I know they were a class side - but Nat's send off and the way we capitulated will always be like a knife in my gut.

[Whitestar]

Being live on sky too, just to spread the embarrassment. Nice.

[Biggish Dave]

Hartlepool beating us 2-1 in the 4th division takes some beating

[RONNIE PHILLIPS]

Any argument with the wife...

[leigh white]

Losing at home to Swansea 1-4 was a reality check in 1980 after relegation the season before.

[Rizlar]

Every bleeding home defeat this season,

I'll go with that. Remember walking out after the match and an old mate, who i had not seen for years, spotted me and shouted my name. I looked up and threw him the Vs and carried on walking.

 

Like a good tourettes sufferer i was randomly shouting out "fuck off" and "twats" for days afterwards. I was not pleasant to be around.

Black Sunday - just awful

[radcliffe white]

I’d go with Coventry over black Sunday 

we got smashed by our relegation rivals 

that team against United was always getting a spanking 

[bolton va va]

Black Sunday.

Nothing comes close for me. Ruined a good portion of my childhood and shattered every dream I ever had.

Any imaginary game I played down the side of my house involved finally getting the chance to play and beat them in front of a packed burnden. Sometime Wembley too obviously

All came crashing down that day. Cried during the game, cried myself to sleep then got sent home from school the next day for windmilling in on some kid twice my size in the year above for taking the piss out of my bolton scarf. He bust my nose in to a pulp and Mr Carr the maths teacher drove me home in his car.

Blackburn 4-1 was a killer but nothing comes near that awful day. 

[Roger_Dubuis]

black Sunday took months to get over, at the time I would rather have lost to Reading.

 

If someone had said " Don't worry son, Bolton will be promoted next season and  will win 2 and draw one of their next 3 league matches at Old Trafford" i'd have thought they were puddled
