Unless I'm going mad, one of the first away games I ever went to was at Loftus Road and we got panelled 5-0 or something. Sure it was an evening game, and everyone in the away end was still singing even though we got absolutely battered by what I think was a very good side
Lost 0-4 in 81-82....my first Charlton game. QPR got to the Cup Final v Spurs a few weeks later.
Lost 1-5 in 82-83....Barry Little scored for Charlton. QPR won the Division, with Wolves 2nd and Leicester 3rd.

We were absolutely taken apart in both games.
Artificial pitch in one of those games if I remember correctly
The biggest hammering I saw was when West Ham beat Sunderland 8-1 in 1965 or so.A friend of mine and his dad were from Sunderland.
Sorry it was 8-0
My mate is a Sunderland fan and was at that match. He swears that Geoff Hurst punched the first goal in and if the ref had spotted it the hammering wouldn't have happened.
Was your mate David Bell by any chance ?
No, he is a Tony. Funnily enough I ran into him, completely unplanned, on Wembley Way before the Mendonca play off final. Tony had the class to phone with congratulations later.
There was a game at Spurs during Les Reeds reign we lost 5-1, I was listening on the radio and it sounded like Spurs went home after getting the fifth with about 25 minutes to go, could have got very messy.

Got a good Boxing Day thrashing at West Ham in Premier League 5-0. Think we missed a pen.
That was an awful performance - Dad and I drove to Upminster and got the tube down to Upton Park - journey back was bloody awful, in a carriage full of West Ham fans taking the piss (Dad always wore his Charlton scarf and hat, even to away games !!)
I think Trevor Sinclair scored an overhead kick for one of their goals ??
This thread has stirred so many (bad) memories some hidden very deep. Brighton get mentioned quite a lot over the fifty odd years yet I forgot ... until now ... a 0-4 home thumping by them - then managed by Brian Clough and Peter Taylor. I don’t think we had a chance all game.

1981-82 was the first season they had it.
