Your worst cfc defeat

There were some bad ones late 70s early 80’s 7-2 Boro (Ossie’s first goal back at Chelsea)      78-79

Forest away 78-79

6-0 at Everton 77-78

6-2 at City 77-78

We had others mentioned like Rotherham and the 7-0 Forest 

For me aged 20 at the time would be Boro playoff final 1988

The thing I liked though was just to keep going to the games however we were doing. I dread to think what the early 80’s players would have thought about Matchday threads if they existed back then!!!!!

 
 

Scarborough away on 4th Oct 1989.   Littlewoods Cup Round 2 and this was the Second Leg.

The 1-1 at the Bridge draw in the 1st leg was bad enough.

However, it got worse !  

We were 2-0 up and lost 3 - 2 !!
And nowhere to get a drink anywhere near the ground.  A mate and me went to the Royal Rangers Club near the seafront as there had been fliers up at the home leg inviting all Chelsea fans for a drink on the night of the game. Neither of us gave it a second thought as we signed the guest book with our very Irish surnames, and although neither of us had any sectarian leanings it was a bit uncomfortable for a little while.

 
Probably the semi final against Utd at Villa Park in 96, a mere two years after we'd been destroyed, but not outplayed, in the 94 final, and still a year away from our first trophy in a generation. I said to my missus when I got home that I didn't think I was ever going to see us win anything in my lifetime, couldn't be happier to have got that one wrong.

Yes that Boro playoff was bad, remember walking out ground thinking how the f**k did our great side of 83/84 get relegated only four years later, mind you the following season back in div 2 and the following couple of seasons back in Div 1 were great again, I was only 19 at the Boro playoff and with no social media around unless you bumped into anyone you got let off lightly with piss taking, until Monday morning back at work.

 
This Wasn't One Of The Worst Defeats, But For Me It Was My First Chelsea Game, Chelsea Vs Villa 2003, Where We Lost 2-1, Performance Was Poor, At Least A Few Years Later We Got That 8-0 Scoreline On Them, But Never Took Away The Poor Game In 2003

Nothing hurts more than that 1-1 against Barca for me, not even the 08 CL final
