Biggest Humiliation?

[AV82EC]

Bradford for me. Losing over 2 legs with the second at home to a Division 2 club when you’re in a semi final is unforgivable. Yesterday runs it close but still Bradford for me.

Surprised Aldershot in the 60s isn’t on the list.

[Axl Rose]

I cared more during the Bradford days. Wanted the players to do well, even though so many of them were crap.

Nowadays I just think too many of our players are ******

[dave.woodhall]

As I said elsewhere, we should have hammered Bradford in the first fifteen minutes of both legs, plus we were shite then, they'd beaten Arsenal in the previous round and it was 'only' the League Cup. Yesterday was worse than that.

[darren woolley]

Yesterday for me.

[Clark W Griswold]

Blues 0-2 at Villa after losing the away game earlier in the season was the most pissed off i've been at a result and i went. Bradford over the 2 legs the most disappointing as we missed a cup final, didn't go though. Went yesterday and that was the most outrightly embarrassing result of all i think.

[Simon Page]

Can't believe you're all forgetting Millwall Athletic in 1900. We had three goes at that one and still lost.

Ramsay Out.

I don't remember us doing that in the first 15 mins at Bradford, I remember us being thoroughly outplayed and being grateful we'd managed to nick a goal.

Still, it's six and two threes, they're both a disgrace

Is it really necessary to flagellate ourselves with another thread?

We had two good chances before they'd hardly touched the ball, then at 2-1 Darren Bent had an open goal, jumped for the ball and pulled a muscle.

Funnily enough, Bradford 3, Villa 1 was ten years ago to the day yesterday. For a bit of context, this was the team back then:

Given, Lowton, Baker, Clark, Bennett, Bannan, Delph, N'Zogbia, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Benteke
Subs: Guzan, Ireland, Bent, Stevens, Lichaj, Burke, Carruthers

[Villan82]

Bradford was far worse. I honestly don't know how we can think yesterday was worse than Bradford. Against Bradford we were humiliated over two legs in a semi final. We had two legs against lower league opponents to reach a final and blew it. We also had a big atmosphere for the home leg.

Yesterday was the 3rd round of the FA cup. The fans didn't seem up for it and the players messed up in the last few minutes. These things happen in the FA cup every year. Didn't this lot beat Newcastle about 10 years ago?

 I sometimes think there is some sort of agenda to make that era seem less shit than it was and this one more shit than it is. Those years of circling the drain were the worst.

We've got a much better team now, and a much better manager. Look at the players we put out - Lowton, Baker, Bennett, Bannan, Weimann, N'Zogbia. None of those were Premier League class really, as shown by their subsequent careers in the Football League, or in N'Zogbia's case, no career at all. The Bradford result came not long after the Christmas 8-0, 4-0 and 3-0 humblings. Christ alone knows how Lambert kept his job after that little lot.

[pauliewalnuts]

Bradford was worse because it was entirely in our hands. It was men v boys and all Lambert had to do was continue in the second half as we had the first, and we'd have got what we deserved.

What he actually opted to do was shit the bed, panic and go bat-shit with the subs and the route one he turned to on the pitch. So frustrating.

[The Edge]

Yesterday for me. A horrible lack lustre, pedestrian, clueless performance topped off by conceding two goals goals in the last 2 minutes. An international player who got himself bamboozled by a league 4 player into giving away a pen  accompanied by a straight red and a second goal conceded with stunning ineptitude by the defence and a goalkeeper who really has no place playing in the Premier league. A truly miserable day in B6.

Without doubt, Bradford - we were outplayed & well beaten over 2 legs of a semi-final by a team that wanted it more.

Yesterday - we treated it as a training session & got mugged at the end.
