Chelsea away FA Cup replay (1997 ish?)

 

Defended out of our skin that night only to be robbed by a dodgy penalty

 

No defeat has ever hurt more than that one

 

I think that was made worse by the way they celebrated laughing in our faces knowing they had cheated.

Damage was done in the first leg tbf

 

Just didn’t turn up at the KP

Yeah very true. Villa were well up for it that night. 

[boots60]

1997 Chelsea was the one that had me fuming because of Erland Johnsen's cheating, 

 

1974 & 1982 semis were heartbreaking because we were so close to an FA cup final.

[shailen]

The Villa one was worse as we dominated both ties and weren't unlucky with injuries then. How we last that tie over two legs I'll never know!! 

[Izzy]

Not saying we’d have made the final, but getting knocked out by Athletico first time around in ‘97 still pisses me off due to that bent referee.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Add another vote for Millwall. Had to go and have a lie down in a darkened room for a couple of days just to calm down.

Wycombe and Spurs final.

[Stadt]

Villa was shit. Terrible performance in the first leg and we weren't at it in the second one. They were bag of horse wank then as well, not surprising we capitulated somewhere the home crowd was loud.

 

Yesterday was abysmal though, 3-1 up against a team featuring a load of kids and contriving to go out is a disgrace. Koumetio's played 90 minutes of senior football, Bradley 172 minutes and Morton 426. Williams and Kelleher aren't particularly experienced either. 

 

We're building up quite a few bottle job case studies. Liverpool with a shit side out embodied their manager yesterday, aggressive, tireless, full conviction & physical. We embodied ours, timid, naive, weak, nervous & really small.

[daddylonglegs]

I wasn’t even mad about last night til I saw the replays of the most blatant red card you will ever see. We’d have put the game to bed and Klopp wouldn’t have risked sending his big dogs on.

 

It’s still Villa tho. Play that game another 100 times we’d win 99 times and they’d get to ET once.

Wycombe 

Chelsea away when Erlan Johnson dived for a late penalty( not sure what his name was, the diving cheating bastard)

Wycombe also

Ditto. It was this defeat that signalled our demise as a regular premier league side, and eventual relegation., The club never recovered from this loss and the consequences were terrible. They went on to lose 9 in a row winning just once.

After this game O Neil referred to Bates as a "Bearded moron" live in sky.

Chelsea 1997.

 

Took me 19 years to start to forgive them. Then they nicked Kante and so now I loathe them more than ever.

[Fox92]

Millwall under Ranieri was the game where I turned and wanted him out.

 

We were Champions of England and lost to a side not even in the top 10 in League 1. It was embarassing.

 

I remember being fuming at Blackburn in the quarters just because Dickov scored the penalty for them.

Millwall were even down to 10 men

[Blueman1967]

Wycombe FA cup QF

Blackburn Rovers FA cup QF

Millwall FA Cup 5th round

Aston Villa Carabao Cup semi final the worse one.

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

Most gutted one for me was Villa. Probs because they were poor and we didn't turn up in two games. I was desperate to go to Wembley to see us in a final for first time in years and I fully expected us to get there.

 

Last night annoyed me but could see it coming last half an hour.

 

Newport was a disgrace and Puel should have got the bullet straight after. 

[Hammo]

Barring those 1990s play off final defeats to Blackburn and Swindon I’m not sure I’ve ever felt as angry and upset as I was after last night’s capitulation.

[Saxondale]

Atletico in the O’Neill era, with the bent French ref Remi Harrel. Talk about injustice.

[Foxdiamond]

Man U 63 and Man City 69 most of all. Now at peace as we managed to win F A Cup.

...and yet we finished champions of the old Div.2 that season under Jock Wallace, so maybe a 3rd. Round exit wasn't such a bad thing. Btw, did you also do something similar at Orient in our last league game? I seem to remember a fracas/valdalism at the back of the end where City fans were jammed in.

[foxinsocks]

the villa defeat in the league cup semi was hard - they bested us in both games.

[BoyJones]

Wycombe was obviously a killer, but Walsall away in 1978, last minute defeat sticks in my mind.
 

Millwall in 2017, another last minute cock up.
 

For you oldies, 1966, 5th round replay at Filbert Street against Man City. Lost 1-0 thanks to a horrendous mistake from Banks.  I was convinced that was going to be our year. 
 

I don’t really rate league cup defeats in the same way as the FA Cup. I was brought up with the FA Cup being the be all and end all. 

[Sly]

Chelsea hurt the most …

 

 

At the same time, I think this is why beating them in the final years later felt so much nicer.

Will second this. I was helping you shove the van on that grass bank.
