TheGuv Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Losing 1-0 to Man Utd in 96 was f***ing awful. Just so inevitable we were gonna throw away the league after it. Never has a side so undeservedly won 1-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Partizan is among the times I've been most angry with football. Such a waste of a season. Yeap. Probably THE most angry for me for the same reasons. Was just sickening and we never recovered all season long. Arguably we've not recovered since Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 My worst week supporting NUFC was going to Lisbon certain i was going to watch Newcastle go through and go all the way to lift to UEFA cup only to crash out in the kind of way only NUFC can and then flying back for the FA semi only for the team not to turn up, we then nearly caught pneumonia standing oustide the train station, never been so cold, even with my foil blanket that the St Johns ambulance were giving out. That trip back home was just horrific. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 As far as Newcastle goes, going from SBR to Souness. The colossal difference in likeability was nearly too much for me.

Tsunami Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 1974 cup final, I'd been to a few games but this was the first time I'd seen them live on the telly and it was THE game of the season. I cried when Alec Lyndsey scored in the first half (disallowed) and spent the whole of the 2nd half in some kind of self denial over the mauling we were on the end of.

With out a doubt, fucking hated Graveson after that. That completely took away the momentum of the previous 18 month or whatever. I'm pissed off now just thinking about that smug bald cunt.

RupertCommunicator Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Worst moment: The Carling cup defeat at Wigan a few years back. I was just so angry at how shit we were, being beaten by a shit team with the shittest fans. I remember seeing Fat Freddy nearly getting filled in trying to drive away too. Just diabolical. Funily enough, I wasn't bothered about the Relegation too much at the time, I was in Afghanistan, so I had other things to keep me occupied! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I really didn't find Villa that bad. It was no shock. It was very frustrating, I remember screaming with a few minutes "It's not over, we only need one fucking goal", but at the end I felt much more defiant than upset. When we all stayed there singing. It was a proud day to be a toon fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Losing to Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinal when both of their goals were dubious as fuck. Outplayed them on every area of the pitch, they get two poxy chances and take them to sail through to the final and beat a piss weak Aston Villa side. Fucking fuming.

M4 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Losing to Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinal when both of their goals were dubious as fuck. Nothing dubious about the goals, iirc.

thewellander Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 U20 World Cup in Toronto...Canada U20 v Chile U20 on Canada Day (Canada's birthday). Half the crowd were Canadians of Chilean decent who were cheering against Canada and we ended up getting beaten pretty bad. I ended up drinking with David Edgar's sister, though, which was kind of cool at the time. But I was really annoyed at people cheering against their own country. I support England in the World Cup and Euros, but would never chose them over Canada. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support England in the World Cup and Euros, but would never chose them over Canada. I've never had any problem with that. Growing up-- if you were were really into football, ahem, soccer-- you probably had family or roots in a football mad-country. It seemed (and seems) perfectly natural (to me) for Portuguese-Americans, Italian-Americans, Brazilian-Americans, Mexican-Americans and whatever to support the country of their forefathers. That's just the way it was for me. I know a lot of people who have the issue of "hyphenated-Americans" and don't like seeing US citizens rooting against the USNATs, but I could never get that worked up about it. Mostly, it seems to be a US-Mexico thing. I know guys who pretend to be really upset about people supporting Ireland or Italy. But their eyes only light up when they can start venting about Mexican-Americans. I'd probably be more aggravated if we hadn't been kicking their asses for 20+ years now. P.S. 2-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. 2-0 It was made worse by the fact that the match took place on Canada Day and that we were in a Canadian stadium. Like I said in my post, I'm a big England supporter. I have quite a few England shirts that I wear often, but I couldn't imagine cheering for England over Canada. Wouldn't even fathom it. Especially not at a Canada home game in Toronto.

gazza ladra Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 wellander, Yeah, I see your point Canada Day and all. I couldn't fathom rooting for anyone but the USA. I might feel differently watching US lose to Mexico on July 4th. Of course, we've learned (for the most part) to stop holding US-Mexico games in Los Angeles or Chicago. That way we can hope to have a crowd rooting for the home team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I can kind of understand where the Chilean dudes were coming from. I'm nominally a US citizen and I've spent about half my life in the States for various reasons but if Korea was playing the US at Giants Stadium on the 4th of July, I know exactly who I'd be rooting for.
