Stoke play-off, even the Blackpool fiasco doesn't come close for me.
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.
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 :frown:
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.
Blackpool. Defeat didn't even cross my mind before the game.
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.
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
Portsmouth.
I would say our cup finals Portsmouth and Liverpool.
One in a generation/ Lifetimes rather than playoffs
Straight away before seeing the options Blackpool jumped into my head.
Cup finals felt we have it ago, another day/bit of luck we could have won them but we played teams with better players.
Stoke was the next one that popped into my head.
Hamburg
Because I was in my teens and even had enough money saved to get to the final, then it all came crashing down and hurt so much.
I accept Blackpool had much more impact on the club, but Hamburg is still raw to this day.
Three spring to mind, all of which have already been mentioned, the Hamburg, Stoke and Blackpool games.
It was such a privilege to reach the two major cup finals, I didn't feel gutted when we got beat but when I saw the Portsmouth victory parade the following day, that hurt.
Of games I didn't go to, the 5-1 defeat by Sheffield United left me quite distraught.
Only ever one answer here and that’s Blackpool. Tan was just starting to get involved in the club. With the team we had then and additional investment from him we may well have survived in the Premier league and would have been fun seeing what Chopra, McCormack and Bothroyd could do together in the premier league but the biggest thing is if we’d won that game he probably wouldn’t have considered switching to lucky red and ripping the heart of the club and its fan base
Blackpool, felt like I'd be gut punched for days after that.
Liverpool
Pompey
Reading

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.
Blackpool, by a mile. ****ed up a fair portion of the summer.
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.
Easily Blackpool for me
Liverpool was tough because of the Ben Turner elation, only to lose a shootout a few mins later
Rebrand as far as I am concerned would never have happened had we beat Blackpool. That was the time the Tan was introduced - we really should have been in the PL as were, without his cash that came with his lucky red. As someone else mentioned too and I think we would have had a sustained period there.
Has to be the Cup finals for me over promotions - we’ll never win the premiership.
Trophy’s are for life for any fan - even if it was 100 years ago.
We should have won them both on the day too and I will never forgot how proud I was of our club.
Blackpool :cry:
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.
