Didn’t we beat Tonbridge (Angels) 5-1 away in the FA cup - lots of fighting going on too?
I was there for that, about 1973? Can't remember much terracing, we stood behind a rope or fence beside the pitch. I've always thought it was 5-0, must have been wrong then.
West Brom at home on a Tuesday night in the promotion season after relegation from the prem. That was 5-0. Absolutely fucking smashed them that night. Could easily have been 8
Wasn't that Sacha Ilic's debut in goal?
And he came charging out of his penalty area to stop a 1 on 1?
Err, no. Ilic saved a pen at Wembley in May 1998.....Op was talking about 99/00 season.
I remembrr that game. Royally took 'em apart......but again no drubbing.
I don't think you have to batter teams but wins need to be relatively comfortable as if not you will get more defeats as luck will play a bigger part. A whooping is nice when it is rare, if we whooped teams every game it would be boring.

Err, no, Golfie. The OP got the games the wrong way round.
Who will ever forget that one! 1-0 down as well and three for Leaburn. Was sitting in main stand with Ipswich-supporting friend too... he hadn't been for years, probably didn't go again after that!
I would much prefer to keep winning regardless, great habit and the odd one might come along, agree we will be more likely once Fosu is back as he will take us to the next level.
I bet in the Luton programme they'll be some mention of: Luton 7 Charlton 1.
They'll be wanting to remember that day about 1977, when already leading 3-0 by HT, we went into total collapse conceding another 4 in the space of 15 minutes mid-way through the 2nd half. Bad day at the office for us.
So come on you rip-roaring goalscoring Addicks, (after 40 years!) a whooping revenge will be sweet.
The Evening Standard (I know, but it's free and keeps me awake on the train home) are reporting today that West Ham's 8-0 trouncing of Macclesfield last night is their "biggest win since they beat Newcastle 8-1 in 1986....".
I went to Peterborough away a few years back. What was that score?? Did we win 5-1 or 6-1?or 5-0? I can't remember the score but was sure it was the biggest win I had seen live since we beat Ipswich away 5-1 with Carlo's hat trick.

That team was absolutely buzzing at the time with Newton, Garland, Bowyer and Robinson in midfield and Carlo and Nelson up front.
We just ran out of steam in the final part of the season and lost in the Play Offs to the Nigels.

Nothing changes
Very windy that day. Me and the weather.
The 99/00 season home game v West Brom was a 0-0 draw.
