Which defeat hurt you the most?

2001 cup final to victim fc(not the 2000 final against them )

[flash gunner]

I think they've all been covered here...Paris, Villa Park, etc...

Which defeat hurt the least? Easy - The 8-2 against man u, cos we'd already played our big game earlier that week

I have to say of all the defeats covered on this thread the 8-2 was by far the most embarrassing of the lot

That's the only game I've never seen the goals from. I don't remember anything of the game and am really quite glad of it

oh yeah there's a video of you pissed out of your head, isn't there even more pissed than Norwich

You mean there's evidence of me getting pissed at football Nah.

I knew we were going to get absolutely murdered by United so I thought I'd join the team in getting hammered

So what was your excuse for Norwich?

We finally got into the European Cup in 71/72 and played a great Ajax team at home. Marinello was through one on one with the keeper and chipped it gently into his grasp. Then George Graham gently rolled a backpass to Wilson. Unfortunately, Bob had come out to collect it and they both watched the ball roll gently into the net. Lost 1-0 and I never quite got over that for a long time. It was the beginning of the end for that team.

FA Cup replay '99.
I was standing next to a (disguised) Manc supporter. As Dennis stepped up to take the pen, I whispered to the Manc, "we've got Dennis Bergkamp". Buggery.

The best "we've got Dennis Bergkamp"chant was in the Clock End when we were 4-0 up at half time against the Shammers and it turned into "we've got Dennis Bergkamp........you've got Ian Dowie". Even West Ham fans thought that was funny - he was their Chamakh back then

The 1988 Littlewoods Cup final

Honorable mentions go to the cup semi in 99, the UEFA cup final, Michale Owen's cup final when we slaughtered the victims and somehow lost, Paris 06 - why Titi WHY??!! and the night Kaba Diawara hit the post 47 times against Leeds

I was just a kid in 88 and that's why it's the one that stands out I reckon.

I cried for days after it, those bastard Stein brothers, that bastard Gus Cesar and Nutty's penalty. We should have destroyed them. I still vividly remember running out of the room when they went 3-2 up and locking myself in the toilet to ball my eyes out

Haunts me to this day.

Mmmmm that explains a lot of your posts matey. Now I can see where all of your anger and hurt began!!

Defeats hurt for different reasons, loads of games we should have won but cruely lost and I'm going back 40 years. But of all those years, finals we should have won that have been mentioned here, I really do think that I have to come right up to date and pick out the 8-2. I've never walked out of a ground with that feeling, just total humiliation and the fact that it's the only time I've ever got my money back from the club must say it all really

Didn't the non existent award for the most singing cheer you up along with the lovely banners about "Who'd heard of Fabregas and Nasri 4 years ago". A proud day indeed

I do believe those 2 old witches have been rightly slaughtered on another thread so we won't go there again Steve!

[HendrixFreire]

how the hell Nayim scored that goal?

[Delorean Dor's]

All of them, I'm a Gooner, to try and distinguish between them seems ridiculous, a loss is a loss. Fuck nugget!

CL final has got to be up there which was made worse by last Saturday.

Remember watching it around Finsbury Park, place was heaving and buzzing all day long. Good atmosphere until the shit started when things turned sour, glasses flying at all the screens. Ahh what could have been.

Ditto here. With hindsight that defeat holed us below the waterline & we've been slowly sinking since.

It felt bad for a short while.
Ten men, loads of rain. I just thought that we had a better chance had the goal stood and Lehman stayed on.
It was not so bad as I got my ticket from a Tarquin for nothing on the day. I also blagged a Eurostar seat and found a nice little hotel room with shower, TV and mini bar for 60 euros, brekkie included. I also got a nice little t.shirt on my seat upon arrival. Just a shame that there were no programmes for sale, as bastards were marching off with boxes of them to put on sale on e-bay.

Yeah I agree. That was the beginning of the end.

What luck.

I hate *word censored* that do that. Like at Barca last year as soon as we won, loads of people were going around looking on the floor for the free flags to put on eBay
