There's two shockers I witnessed - some of you away diehards can chip in with more (people say the 5-0 at Wigan was beyond abysmal, and there was a 1-7 at Huddesfield under Alan Smith and the 0-4 at home to scunthorpe). Sometimes a team is disorganised and there's no defending and you get tonked but there are other times like the England-Iceland game where the team isn't just bad they have a collective nervous breakdown, cannot string two passes together for the entire 90 minutes and everybody hides. Back in Feb 81 I went away and saw us put up a brave show in a 2-3 defeat away to that great Ipswich side. On the Tuesday following we were at home to Coventry and lost 0-3. It was 0-3 at half time and if Coventry had gone for it they could have scored 15. The other time was back in 74 after we had a famous 3-1 win at Fulham (Bobby Moore scored a consolation for them). A week or two later we played them at home and lost 0-2 - and it was another shocker, totally inept and gutless. Anyone remember those two or any others?

The 9-0 away to Liverpool some winters night i was at, but believe it or not we were not that bad, 5-0 at home to Wimbledon was awful, and away at Chelsea we had just gone 4 down, just after half time, and i left, they are the ones i remember as being awful

I was at Anfield in 1989, had my leg in plaster as well, so it wasn’t the easiest of journeys either I Went to Carlisle in 1982, a bloody long way to get stuffed 4-1 and let one player(Malcolm Poskett) score all four goals

Brighton Boxing Day 79 springs to mind as well. We’d had such a good first few months after getting promoted, despite losing 3-0 at Liverpool the away game before we were expecting a big performance and we weren’t really used to abject performances from that great side, so to get beat comfortably 3-0 by that lot who we really did hate back then, after running the gauntlet of hate outside the ground, it really did feel like the team had let us down and ruined our Christmas Edited by monkey (12 Sep 2023 2.49pm)

The 4-0 home loss to scunthorpe springs straight to mind. Also when we lost 0-1 to derby at home in the fa cup a few years back it was really bad!

QPR 6 Palace 0 You know you’ve had a bad day when you get stuffed by QPR!! Although that was largely down to the disgusting behaviour of our keeper Kevin Miller who deliberately through in the towel because he hadn’t been paid on time

League Cup 1983/84 1st Round, 2nd Leg: Peterborough United 3 Crystal Palace 0 (agg 3-3, Peterborough won 4-2 on penalties) My mates and I went up there for a laugh attending a 'no-pressure' game where progression to the 2nd round was already in the bag. Palace were absolute sh!te, but somehow held on for penalties, but were absolutely sh!te at those too. The famous Alan Mullery was so incensed, he bawled out the players and said that they were going to lose their pay for that week (or maybe it was their appearance money). Anyway, the PFA got involved and pointed out that to refuse to pay a player would be a breach of contract and therefore unlawful. Contrary to some posters and agreeing with others, I didn't think our performance in the 0-9 was one of the worst, by a long way. We were just terrible at defending the Liverpool onslaught, but we never stopped (naively) attacking.

I was at the Derby game sometime late 1960's/early 1970's ( I think ). Derby scored at Holmesdale Rd end from a corner and I remember the scorer jumping miles into the air.

Score wise it was obviously terrible, but I do tend to agree, I’ve always said, I’d love to see the stats like they have readily available on every game now, because I swear Liverpool scored every time they attacked and it wasn’t totally one way traffic, we hit the post and missed a pen

Imagine if that had gone in; we might have taken them! When the penalty was awarded to us, at 0-6, I sensed a comeback, but sadly Geoff was much less accurate from the spot than his previous effort; in fact I think the ball is currently somewhere between Mars and Jupiter and still rising.
