We got done in a 4-0 defeat at the Emirates I think. Can't recall his name, began with S I think. Was harsh to add a game. I was at that 


Sankofa,or something similar,got sent off early on,Thierry Henry playing his  first game for some time,took us to the cleaners.Our only trip to the Emirates I think.

Worst ever victories? There was one against Forest Green Rovers and one against Cheltenham both a couple of seasons ago that were deeply, profoundly rank

A shameful and embarrassing 1-0 win at Port Vale in 1998 is still fresh in the memory. Late penalty. Bussed up there as the full away stand shows.

Nonsense to  suggest VAR would have reversed the decision, when the independent panel upheld the red card.

If VAR had had a look at that elbow they would have sent him off again

Away at Exeter in 11/12 where we won 1-0 off a mishit Danny Green cross felt pretty immoral. I think we only had 2 shots on target and that was counting Green's.

I seriously, genuinely am a bit miffed by Wilder's reaction to two clear sending offs. Knibbs is almost certainly out for the season and it is disrespectful to him. I am not a great fan of refs at this level and below but I have to say in all honesty that Saturday's ref got all the big calls right. Knibbs should have got a booking early doors but that was about it. My son is a ref and calls things honestly often showing up my own bias and he said both were clear sending offs. Questioning the first is disgusting behaviour. The second is simply applying the laws of the game. The ref doesn't have to try and decide intent, Wilder should know that, he has to decide recklessness and risk. If you go into a high challenge leading with your elbow and making contact with your opponents head, you are going to get sent off with VAR if the ref missed it. The fact they appealed it is comedy gold. The ref showed the red card quickly because he saw it and it was right in front of him. What is all this he couldn't wait to show it nonsense? He bloody saw it you ignorant tools! Does he need to make an appointment?

Yes put it up and remind your players how you played Charlton twice this season and lost both. Or maybe wind them up to get sent off!

I just don’t believe that was one of the worst performances in 60 years! Come on, get a sense of perspective. Even this season, Southampton ran through us 5 times in a row and scored 5 goals. It was Groundhog Day. We did not play at all well against Sheff Utd but we didn’t concede on minute 2, minute 5 and on and on. We will be stronger against Derby. 

The game was potentially going the same way as what it did at Portman Road, we rode our luck massively at Ipswich earlier in the season, somehow got to HT at 0-0 and then managed to get an early goal to defend - We were bloody lucky that day, that it helped open Ipswich up and allowed us to score twice more.

There is no guarantee that the same couldn't have happened against Sheff Utd, and by the time the sendings off happened, we were "slowly" getting a "foothold" in the game - The difference between the Ipswich game, and against Sheff Utd, is the fact everyone seemed to expect us to turn into prime Brazil, as Briston mentions, simply because we had the advantage in players. But Sheff Utd because it wasn't 11 vs 11, couldnt afford to take the risk to attack us, like what Ipswich did, otherwise Campbell would have exploited the space, exactly how he did at Portman Road.

I didn't expect us to turn into prime Brazil at all. I didn't even expect us to smash them. I did expect us to be able to do the absolute basics. Like find players who are standing five yards away, while under no pressure, and not pass the ball out of play instead. And to hit passes at a speed that allows the player to take advantage of the space, and not him them so slowly that, by the time the ball reaches him, the whole opposition have totally shifted over. 

Comes back to what I said on another thread, where I wonder how much the effect of not winning has had on these players. Especially losing at Blackburn after surrendering the 2-goal lead... Not trying to find excuses, and would hope to see better tomorrow night... Just trying to understand if anything.

I know my memory is pretty shot, but I could have sworn we drew that one.
