I had the flu & still went - easily the most miserable day watching Stoke.
Yes Ball was sacked (@ half time supposedly) & yes we had the 0.7 v Blues but the Wigan game hit me harder.

I remember just geting home and getting a call- cheered me up no end as we were so dire was untrue.
Worst I ever saw was the 2-0 at Crewe which virtually put us down as the lack of effort was hard to take- we'd beaten Pompey the Saturday before and given ourselves a real chance. Apart from the 6-0 at Forest, don't remember leaving a game with 30 odd minutes to go.

It was a low point, but then there were so many in the nineties, being tonked by three or four goals at home by Wrexham, Bristol Rovers etc.. under Little was pretty bad.

Days like that RAF make you realise how far we have come.

It makes you realise that despite all the grumblings about Icelanders, Coates, Gudjon, Pulis, Boskamp, money, etc, etc, etc... no one has really done all that bad since Little left. You might say we've had almost 10 years of continual success.  |

That was probably the only game i've ever wanted us to lose (well apart from Bolton away) as i'd I just couldn't stomach any more of Ballys bullshit and excuses.

yeah remembe rthat one, didn't go thank god. But that was a low ebb as then it became blindingly obvious that weren't going to bounce back at 1st time of asking. Bloody horrific, not as bad as the 0-7 though.

An almighty fuck up of a day for me. The car broke down south of the Thelwall viaduct and we had to thumb it the rest of the way. A very nice hat and scarf brigade couple gave us a lift to the game. 4-0 stuffing, no way home then it all came good. A lift back in Tony Greys van and Ball getting the sack......Cue the celebrations through Cheshire on the way home |

That Wigan day was absolutely shit. I remember the look on Noel Blakes face when the first went in. He looked as if he was about to twat his colleagues in defence because they weren't arsed. He spent about a minute watching them all waiting for a reaction.
