The Villa defeat for relegation was bad, but once more. Ashley.
Reading another forum and saw a thread similar to this. Git ne thinking.
For me hands down it was the 1996 1-0 home defeat at SJP to Man Yoo. It changed everything, we destroyed them all game but Schmeichel and Cantona were inspired. The Collymore goal was bad too but that was the worst. We crumbled.
Other stinkers were the 2 FA cup defeats to Man Yoo and Arsenal. The cup game 2 years ago wasn't so bad as I was just pleased to be there and knew better days were ahead.
Another horrible one was the 2003 Partizan Belgrade defeat which knocked us out of the CL before it started.
Ashley regime defeats don't count, I fully accepted we were shiite and a shell of a team and it didn't matter somehow.
6 in a row hurt but, again, Ashley and Pardew.
Anyone else got any?

Definitely the Man U 1-0
We should have won that by a couple at least. I think Albert hit the bar neqr the end of the first half.
But, I'm still on too much of a high to think of any others.![]()
Aye - Man Utd game.
Although for me, that Villa relegation one is that always sits in my head.
So many games. The games with clueless managers (take your pick) where the squad was garbage, there was not tactics or plan, we got ran over by mediocre teams. All these defeats were painful. The slow agonising demise week on week.
Single matches hurt of course but the slow bleeding death of our club Post Bobby Robson through the Ashley Era, the humiliation of being turned into the punchline of every nations joke.
The Mackems genuinely having the upper hand. 6 in a row ffs. Being a Championship team.
Gross. I need a shower!
Manure game 100% win thaat and we won the title
One that I can?t forget is PSG draw with the hand ball penalty in the last few minutes
Should never have been and I still hurts
If we had have won that were could we have got to that year.
Helluva shout. That ones still fresh.
With all the ecstasy this week, I wanted to add balance and perspective to how bad things were in our chase for glory and how much of a seminal moment this is.
It makes this even sweeter thinking of all the previous heartbreak.
The first cup win is the most important said Brian Clough once.
