Where would you rank last night in terms of disappointments?

No where near as bad as last year’s final. That was our big chance.

Not even comparable to relegation, that’s a slow death, this a flesh wound….I’m more devastated at the loss of my tv

Losing to Bury in the Cup around 1976ish, was bad, I seem to remember a lot of windows in Bury Town Hall got put in, not by me your Honour.

In The Mansour era:

1) Last year's final defeat
2) Old Trafford semi final defeat
3) Last night
4) Spurs second leg
5) Missing 4th v Spurs 2011
6) Wigan Cup Final

It depends on how we react.....if we pull together and win the next 4 then honestly speaking in context weve gone out to Real Madrid (albeit we threw it away) in a champs league semi. Thats something I can live with, its a cup game and anything can happen.
Champs league for me is the icing on the prem cake, so Id me more than happy with just the cake.

However if we collapse now - which is my bigger concern - this will be up there with the League Cup Semi loss v United (in the year of the 3 last minute derby losses), Ricky Villa and Relegation to 3rd div, which sent me on a three day bender, might even surpass it considering who wed be losing out to.

Yep the worst under Pep. I was shocked as soon as I saw the team sheet !

Oxford Utd home 1998.

Blowing a chance to win something is far worse than relegation where we miss out on finishing 20th or 17th.

We normally bounce back better from being relegated and our longest ever stay in one division outside the top flight is 2 years and we end up winning promotion, which were are greatest achievement's for about 2 generations.

Throwing away the cup final in 1981 and taking 30 years to put it right was far worse than going down in 83 and battering Charlton 5-1 2 years later to go up in triumphantly. It could have been the last good chance to win the URUC this season for a generation or ever with this ageing team and inferior replacements.

Last years final number 1 for me I was absolutely gutted all summer long :(

3) Last night
4) Spurs second leg
5) Missing 4th v Spurs 2011
6) Wigan Cup Final

I’d put the 3-2 defeat to the rags in 2018 at home in that list.
