Best/worst cup game?

[york away to this!]

Assuming FA cup only

Worst - losing to spurs in the '81 replay. I'd been to every game in the cup that season and only missed a couple of aways in the league. I managed to get my french oral O-level delayed so I could go to the match. That was a looooong coach journey home.

Best - Stoke final with my mother lying almost dead in hospital and me feeling guilty for going. We won, she didn't die whilst we were away. I cried my head off.

I was at the 81 replay. That was heartbreaking. Recently that mauling at home by forest was pretty bad. Best obviously Stoke

Worst cup game for me was the 1st round F.A cup match against Halifax .
I know we won 3-0 at Maine Road .
But the match was boring and it was cold .
Best cup match was beating West Ham 6-0 in the league cup ,2 years ago in the semi final .
Didn't really need the second leg after that result .

And then just to underline the 6-0 didn't The Beast go and score early on in the return leg.

One Cup match I never got to was the '63 tie at Walsall. Train tickets booked and yer could pay on the door those days. My first away! And then the weather started and didn't finish until about April!! Postponed and never got to the re-arranged. I think they had midweek afternoon kick offs then! Don't know how many turned up.

My worst was the Nottingham Forest tie played the week before we were supposed to get Kaka! That was an inept performance and nobody more inept that Didi. The best was the Semi!!! THE SEMI!!! I went and paid again after the Ginger Pig got his well-deserved red!!

Worst has to be the cup final v Wigan, the team gave up a great opportunity to win a trophy in order to dump Mancini on his arse. Worst feeling ever walking out of wembley and the heavens opening with a huge deluge of rain whilst thousands of blues walked back to the tube station in silence.

Got back to the coach on Wembers car park and told the driver I was pissed off on the outside and pissed off on the inside!!

Best
Semi v Ipswich 1981 at villa park
Worst
Halifax 0-1
Notts County 0-1
And a special mention losing to those twats 1-2 at the Swamp courtesy of a Wilkie Penalty Dec (Not the worst game but comes under heading of Cheated)

Brentford away in 89 when we lost 3 - 1 was a long day. Started with the only wet train to London (went to Olympia not Euston) . ended with hassle from six fingered monkeys that got on at Stoke on the way home. Lots of beer, crap match and a trip to Milton Keynes somewhere along the line.

 

[Durham Blue]

Worst, losing to Shrewsbury in 1979, freezing cold and lost 2-0

Best , semi final v United in 2011 (YaYa goal) 1-0

 

[bluestevei]

worst
1] Halifax bloody shite ground shit result against a poor team
2] Shrewsbury got into ground just as they scored first goal and lost 2-0, coming back it was very foggy and I drove on the wrong side of a duel road and about 2 miles on a driver driving on the right way flagged me down and told me, good job it was flat grass between both rds and got back on the right rd. but other cars was following me so they all was wrong as well and it took 5 hrs to get back and who was first game on motd
3] Doncaster SHIT SHIT SHIT had over 20 missed calls and 50 msg from mates who are rovers /man u fans
4] chesterfield crap crap crap
5] spurs 1981 reply we had them in first game and we was winning 2-1 in reply

best
utd in semi just to beat those twats
Chelsea in semi, just to beat those twats

Ipswich semi final....i was at the front right behind the goal when Power took his free kick. saw the ball in the air looking well wide, then started to curl in, seeing cooper dive, then the ball hitting the back of the net, actually heard it hitting the net....there seemed to be a few seconds shocked silence then the everyone went absolutely fucking mental. Ipswich were very strong favourites and had a cracking side at the time....though i seem to recall the boiled bollock was in their team.

The worst the home lrg of the semi final same season league cup against Liverpool after Alf Grey ruled out Reeves goal and the scouse twats nicked it 1-0....that one for some reason hurt most.
