VillaJ100 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 The Bradford game was beyond a farce, so humiliating. We should by rights really have gone down the season before his last anyway. I think we beat Chelsea at home, Arsenal and high flying Soton away and drew with pool at Anfield. Normally we'd get 0-2 points from that lot not 10 and that kept us up, think we survived by 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 The 8-0 against Chelsea was one of the worst results our clubs ever had. Like i said first season was decent but it just went down hill from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The locals were lining the route away from the ground to jeer us. It was utterly humiliating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEndVillan Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) I got some corporate freebies and I was in the Chelsea end for that. Not a good experience Edited November 14, 2020 by EastEndVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said first season was decent but it just went down hill from there. It's kind of funny that when we beat the near full-strength reigning champions 7-2, they consider it just a blip and quickly move on from it, but us losing 8-0 to a Chelsea side that had a squad that looked literally leagues above us (seriously, look at those lineups I posted on the previous page), it's humiliating and we still remember it 8 years later. A back 5 including Clark, Baker, Herd and Lichaj should have never played a single PL game together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIGAN! Probably the most embarrassing game I’ve witnessed at VP. One of the only times I’ve seen the stadium empty by 60mins. worst part was I was sitting in the away end that day because We had free tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A back 5 including Clark, Baker, Herd and Lichaj should have never played a single PL game together. They knew they had the squad to bounce back, and it was simply a case of someone finding out the weakness in their system. They knew they had it in them to recover. It was different for us. We didn't have that luxury at all. It really felt like it was something that was going to happen a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd been annoying me all game giving away stupid free kicks. Then he gave away another one at the edge of our box and a fee people in our vicinity started moaning and as the hubbub died down I just shouted "AND GET YOUR HAIR CUT" I got a lot of funny looks but he'd got that big mop of hair which had also been getting on my nerves.
