QPR away two seasons ago, last game of the season, play off place to play for (although eventually it didn't matter, but we weren't to know that at the time) The most gutless, toothless team selection and performance I have witnessed for a long while.
Chelsea away, still gutted, so near but yet so far.

Home to Man City 5-2 in the most abject surrender of a side which had a chance (on paper) of avoiding the drop. Complete non interest from any players involved in the game, complete dross.
Getting dicked by Oxford away under Kamara 5-0 I think yet another embarresment of couldn't give a toss attitude of players who have had the opportunity to represent the Club

Burnley away in the Cup 1980. If you think refs are bad now. For the summary below, thanks to www.clarets-mad.co.uk/news/loadfeat.asp?cid=ED92&id=51566 95. Denis Smith sent off in FA Cup Tie Denis Smith - sent off for staying on In the late 1970s and early 1980s there was a referee who could rival Barry Knight, his name was Kevin McNally. He was expert at turning games into a nonsense but close observation showed that he never upset the home side. It was January 1980 and we were playing Stoke at HOME in the FA Cup 3rd round. It was a close game with the score still at 0-0 with not much more than ten minutes to play when McNally decided enough was enough and he would liven things up. He gave us the most dubious looking penalty that Martin Dobson converted to give us a 1-0 win and sent off a Stoke player for arguing (they were then down to nine). This was just a minute after we had committed the worst foul of the afternoon and got away with it. Shortly before all this though he waved his red card for the most bizarre of reasons. Stoke decided to bring on their sub for Denis Smith who was limping and when play stopped McNally authorised the change. Smith though went over and told the bench he was fit to continue and stayed on the pitch. McNally was having none of it and sent him off. Nobody to this day knows the reason he gave.

Everton and Man Ure at home this season, should have won both. Chelski away - should have won also.

Can't let this thread go on without mentioning the 0-7 against Birmingham! So incensed was the crowd that the majority just charged onto the pitch and then headed in the general direction of the Directors in the West Stand.
Also, 0-8 against Liverpool.
I don't care who the opposition is, to lose by those margins at home is pretty shocking. Two very low days in my Stoke City supporting "career".

I still havent shaken off the defeat at Stamford bridge to be honest, one of the biggest downers iv experienced with Stoke. Obviously the day we got relegated against Citeh after the 5-2 fiasco and losing to Leeds 1-0 the year before they got relegated from the Champ, just hate losing to those cunts!

Not exactly sure but I think it was a 2-1 home defeat to Ipswich late in the season during the Hudson,Greenhoff,Salmons etc years. I think we had lost someone with a broken leg. That defeat if memory serves me correct effectively finished any chance we had of winning the old division 1 and for anyone not old enough we had a hell of a chance.

Wow - it's been far too many!
Being beaten by Blyth Spartans was a real kick in the teeth when I was a kid, but also when we lost 1-0 against Villa in the last game of the season (76?) and were relegated.
Losing the Play-Off match against Leicester was bad, especially since we had beaten them earlier in the season.
The Play-Off defeats against Gillingham and Walsall were horrible, but the 0-7 drubbing and 2-5 defeat were real downers as well. The Liverpool-supporters had a field day at work when we managed to lose 0-8.
I also remember Gudjons second season at the club when he stuck with a 5-3-2 formation and we got beaten regularly by "smaller" teams. I remember losing at home against Cambridge!
There has been some annoying defeats this season as well, for instance losing against Blackburn and Chelsea. I'm still fuming!
Being a Stoke-supporter hasn't been easy!

Like Alvechurch I'm still haunted by 0-7 v Birmingham, defeats torn from the jaws of victory I can handle however angry I got at the time but I was ashamed of everything we'd become that day.

Chelsea for me this season takes some beating and having to travel back on the tube to Hillingdon with many fookin plastic Chelsea tossers made it even worse.

So many of them. You would think from some of the comments on the board that bad results are at a monopoly this year.
I remember loads of results that turned me grey
Torquay 1 stoke 0 Crewe 2 Stoke 0 (Steven Tweed at CH) Man City 3 Stoke 0 (Pissing down in Georgie Berrys days. Had tickets in their end and couldnt keep me gob shut) The two Arse semis Wigan 4 Stoke 0 Kettering/Tamworth/Telford/Fucking Rochdale. Sheff Utd 1 Stoke O (or was it two) Remember it lost us the chance of the First Div title in 74. Tuesday nights at Barnsley

Derby and Chelsea from this season are right up there.
Preston away, last season, probably wins the award, very very annoyed!

Losing 0-4 at home to Watford in 83 or 84 (could be wrong) I can remember half of the Boothen (those who hadn`t fucked off home) cheering when their 4th goal went in.

Leeds at home in the boskamp season when we played them off the park and managed to lose 1-0 to a team of complete cunts.
Means nothing compared to some of the vital games we've been through but its still jumps out.

for some reason Ipswich back in 95 season.
It is all a bit hazey but the way they nicked it was shocking. A dive in the box by their striker that Ronaldo would have commended and we lost if I remember right.

Losing 2-1 away to Sheffield United in the last game in Division 1 in 1947 - still rankles after 62 years. If John McCue HAD to slip and miss a tackle, why did it have to be in THAT game. Also Alec Ormston hit the woodwork more times in that game than in all the rest of the season.
Just shows how much it is still implanted in my mind!

So many to choose from...
Got to be Leicester at home in those play offs. I'm still gutted about that. The players froze that night which I couldn't understand as we had played them off the park in the first leg a few days before.
The Coventry FA Cup defeat was sickener as well, especially as they went on to win it. 32000 at the Vic that day. Micky Ginn - what a twat.

Burnley away great shout. Ray Evans was the other player sent off. Kevin McNally said he red carded him for swearing- Evans said that he'd lied and had only sarcastically said 'thank you' to him for awarding us a free kick. The penalty decision was a shocker but even with 9 men, Garth Crooks managed to miss a wide open goal when he mis-kicked from about 6 yards out. Was only about 8 but have never seen such a diabolical display of refereeing, West Germany v Holland in the 78 World Cup and Mr Hall v Coventry possibly the exception.
