Biggest Humiliation?

[lovejoy]

My younger sons second ever match was the 8-0 at Chelsea, so many player dialling it in (Stephen Ireland I'm looking at you).

[Drummond]

Bradford was worse than yesterday.

We were in control yesterday until that stupid mistake and another fuck up shortly after.

Bradford was utterly humiliating over two legs.

The difference in squad is crazy too.

[London Villan]

Difference between result and performance.

The result yesterday is the worst ever I think, the performance perhaps not, we were't outclassed, just a self-inflicted smash and grab.

In the Cup, Bradford. In the League, SHA horror-show at VP.

[London Villan]

If we are bringing league matches into it then there are too many to mention!

[Legion]

The Chelsea 8-0 comes a close second in the league.

[Villa Lew]

Yesterday comes close but it's Bradford for me, as it was over 2 legs, VP was rocking for the 2nd leg and we still cocked it up.

The 4th tier of English football started in 1958, prior to then there was a Third Division North and Third Division South. The only time, before yesterday, we'd lost to a side in the 4th tier in the FA Cup was in an away replay to Aldershot in 1964. So yesterday will go down in the history books, as the first time we lost a home FA Cup tie against a side in the 4th tier.

The teams we lost to in the 5 seasons from 58/59 to 62/63, all went on to win the Cup.

Bradford was a shocker but we battered them twice, their keeper played 2 blinders and we had over 20 shots on target over the 2 legs. We just couldn't defend corners back then.

Yesterday we dominated but created virtually fuck all. But Chambers knocks in a pretty simple chance and we go through fairly comfortably.

Doncaster still edges it for me, purely because we were simply outclassed and outplayed for the entire game everywhere on the pitch. Any neutral watching it would have thought we were the 3rd tier side. Michael McIndoe absolutely destroyed us and 3-0 flattered us.

Bradford. Losing over two legs to a fourth tier side was worse than last night. That was just before Millwall knocked us out of the FA Cup a few days later.

I think a lot of people have forgotten how miserable that week was.

[London Villan]

In the space of a month, we had these gems...
0-8 Chelsea
0-4 Spurs
0-3 Wigan
1-3 Bradford (League Cup)
1-2 Milwall (FA Cup)

Had yesterday's game been away it would still have been horrific to lose to a Fourth Divison team but you get a bit more leeway excuse-wise.  Tight pitch, supporters on top of you, swirling wind/rain or whatever.

The FA Cup is full of those kind of tales where conditions on the day have evened up the encounter somewhat.

To be done on your own patch in conditions far from hostile is shamefully shit.

And without checking, I think we put out pretty well a full first team that night too.

[Ozzjim]

Bradford. Still have nightmares about that Hanson chap.

[aj2k77]

2 legged Semi Final against a 4th tier team with the prospect of Swansea in a final for a trophy and we totally ballsed it up. Yesterday was abysmal because we managed to capitulate in 2 minutes against a 4th division club but that was worse for me.

Samuel for Bouma was the closest to it not being our main starting 11 that season, and Bouma was iffy that season and was in and out the side anyway.
