Stoke play-off, even the Blackpool fiasco doesn't come close for me.

[chris lee]

Blackpool, I feel we had a team that really could have stepped up and flourished in the prem for us.

Chopra, Bothroyd, Whitts, McCormack - all at great ages.

Blackpool. Relegated 40yrs of Hamburg pain to 2nd place.

Blackpool for exactly this reason. Think we could be an established Prem club had that gone right for us.

Sheffield United away in 1971. 5-1 defeat which ended the promotion challenge to Division 1.

Blackpool. I was going on holiday the same day and just totally ruined the day. For the kids sake I tried my best not to let it ruin the rest

The cup finals I went expecting nothing and got exactly that. The Liverpool one hurt a bit given the circumstances. It's the hope that kills you.

Stoke still hurts mind. They played the winner takes it all on the way out, and I can't listen to it

Blackpool. From that moment I knew that Dave Jones would never get us promoted. Playing Kelvin Etuhu as a target man to replace Bothroyd was utter madness, as bad as not starting Ramsey in the FA cup final.

As others have said, I think that side would have comfortably survived in the PL. We got promoted with worse sides but better managers. For all the great memories there are of Jones's time with us, we'd always slip up at the last. He did the same with Wolves.

He got Wolves promoted to the PL in one of his two full seasons in charge. Hardly "did the same with Wolves".

In his first season, Wolves were top of the table, 10 points clear of 3rd with 9 games to go. They lost in the playoffs.

He then got them promoted the second season so he didn’t always do the same at Wolves. He got them promoted at second time of asking.

We know you don’t like Jones but implying Malky was a better manager is just laughable. He won the LMA manager of the year in 1998 and kept Southampton up comfortably in the PL a couple of times. Something Warnock hasn’t managed in all his years in the game.

Dave Jones did pretty well wherever he went. Didn't he get Stockport up to the championship, or Division 1 as it was known?

Blackpool.

Although seeing some gobby Blackpool fan get put on his arse trying to give it the big one walking through crowds of drunk and upset city fans lightened the mood, for about 12 second before I was back in depression mode again.

Blackpool for me as well. I spoke to a couple of Blackpool fans in the pub pre match and said that we'd we'd comfortably win 4-2. Once Bothroyd went off and was being replaced by Etuhu, I turned to my daughter and said to her ' we've lost this'. I just had that sinking feeling.

[Tuerto]

Blackpool, by a mile. ****ed up a fair portion of the summer.

[J R Hartley]

Was due to stay in London for the night but just come home straight after the Blackpool game. Asked one of the boys to bring my bag home, couldnt even be arsed to go back to the hotel I was so deflated.

I always laugh at supporters who cry over a football match, or sit in their seat for ages after the game sulking, but I came close that day.

[lardy]

Blackpool. Defeat didn't even cross my mind before the game.

[The Bloop]

Blackpool was a missed opportunity, but we've been promoted twice since which has lessened the pain of that day.
Getting so close to winning both cups will hurt for longer, as I can't see us getting that close again any time soon.

[City123]

Blackpool
Liverpool
Portsmouth
Reading

We probably would have lost to Swansea in the PO final, to lose in those circumstances means Liverpool hurt more than Portsmouth. Blackpool hurts far more than all of them though, likely would have prevented all the red nonsense
