Sunbury Fox Posted 4 May 2019 Posted 4 May 2019 Remember going to a Championship away game at Hull on a Friday night in the Pleat era. They were bottom and we were 3rd from bottom. Have to confess that we left early when they made it 4-1 with a few minutes left. As we were walking out we heard another cheer - 5-1!! I believe Paul Reid then scored a very late consolation to make it 5-2. Desperate times.

Guess what? Leicester 0 Rotherham 1. I was there too. We had just hit rock bottom, cant believe i did a 240 mile round trip to watch that shocker.!

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 4 May 2019 Posted 4 May 2019 I remember going away lots when I was late teens early 20s and first driving etc away at Port Vale losing 2-0 in around 88-90 period and not thinking anything of it as we were that shit anyway away at Cambridge United, Oxford United Barnsley and other similar clubs Hull City away in their Boothferry Park days, fookin hell that was dire, and we lost (again expected) thinking about it, been watching City since 1979-80 season and apart from Oneill years and last few years we have been by and large shit for most of the rest of it

Fck me i flew over to England for my brothers wedding and us 4 brothers were at the home game against these cvnts on August 8, 2006. Fckin lost 1 nil, i was so pissed. Can't stand Burnley. Was only down hill for us after that And yet here we are today not fckin shite and former EPL champions. Life is beautiful.

SystonFox Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 QPR at home in the Levein era. 1-0 down early on. Maybury straight red shortly after. Elvis Hammond scores his first ever professional goal to equalise and I go batshit. QPR go on to win with what I’m sure was a worldie winner? QPR fans kept behind after final whistle due to the high tempered game. That was pretty low.

I was at that one and spent most of afternoon looking at the underside of the double decker from the the back of pen3. Until James scored then I saw most of the floor of pen3

We had a Harsh sending off. Remember my lad went sleep after half time and we left at 5-1. The only time I've ever left a game early. Got to car and found out it was 6
woddyuk Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 West Brom at home 1985 Losing 2-0 at half time, and playing sh*t would have been an improvement. We were shocking. Could have been 6. On the kop in pen 3 we all sat down on the terracing at half time and no one stood back up when the game restarted. Watched about 20mins of the second half sat on the terracing until we scored and then we stood back up. God knows how but we managed to draw 2-2

He did indeed. The Juve thing was always my secondary go to factoid about Notts. Guess I'll have to bump it up to number one now.

It sums up how shit we were that I never thought we’d beat the euphoria of staying up that day.

Didn’t go to that one but can remember being quite satisfied that we’d actually managed to score twice at fortress Boothferry.
CosbehFox Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 Going nuts for a late winner at Kenilworth Road, an own goal at Oakwell and equaliser at Roots Hall. Just to keep us being utterly boring shit in the championship for another season.

isaidno Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 Ricky Sappleton scoring a hat trick in a pre season friendly against Quorn, and people on here thinking he was the new Heskey.
hackenbacker Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 In contrast to your topic I have been quite lucky actually ....... I came to London to work in April 1999 and left in October 2004. My first couple of years was under MON ... Marvelous time for LCFC .....enough said My second couple of years was under Peter Taylor, Dave Bassett and Micky Adams ........ we went down (2002) - up(2003) - down(2004) so it was still quite interesting times I left the UK just before the real dross years set in 2004 - 2009 ..... Levein, Megson, Holloway but still suffered from afar (mostly Bahrain)
Bert Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 Been here since 93/94. Luckily the recent good times outweigh the days of Andy Johnson & Jason Jarrett in midfield.
