Worst Everton Moment

Throwing away the first Merseyside FA Cup final......

And effectively giving them the double we should have had. Even they thought they were rubbish. Main noise from their end was laughter. That was my worst moment as adult. As a kid the hat trick of WBA final in 68, semi vs City at villa park (1969 late tommy booth winner) and the panathanikos /RS double whammy in 1971 was genuinely heart breaking. And they occurred when we were actually ace!!
Modern era Villarreal away and last year's semi were gut-wrenchingly painful.
 
haha! made me laugh that mate...

Are you going tomorro?

Sure, I've been going for 42 years.

Maybe I should be adding:
1971 Semi against The RS
0-4 v Ipswich (the Cushion Game)
1-4 at home to Norwich, Coventry, Wimbledon,
3-5 at home to QPR
0-3 at home to Portsmouth
Did anyone mention the 95th minute loser at Man Utd
Or the 3-1 defeat at City in the FA Cup
Or the 2-1 loss at Sunderland
or 4-0 at Ipswich
or 2-1 at West Ham in the FA Cup
or 3-0 at Spurs after one of the semis (West Ham?)
or both legs of the Screen Sport Super Cup..

Locks knife cupboard.
 
I'm not sure, I'm 21 but been to alot of games inc. across Europe.
Liege was pretty crap being knocked out over there.

Maybe I'm saying this because I've just worked a 12 hour shift and I'm up at 8 to do the same tomorrow. But I'm feeling quite ****ty right now about us, stale stagnant and not going anywhere.
 
1994 losing 0-3 at leeds with one game to go. honestly thought we were down.

1-5 dinamo bucharest was there. cost me a fortune.

0-5 man city. cold december day at maine road under walter smith. they were bottom of the league we didnt have one shot on goal all game and it rained all day with no shelter. ive never been so cold for a 3pm game than that. (coldest i think was the league cup tie against west ham qf)

villarreal. terrible referee just shook my head in shock.

feyenoord 96 0-1 i was really upset losing in the second rd of cup winners cup going home.

birmingham 4th rd of fa cup. shocking performace one of the worst.

tranmere 0-3. another embarassment.

0-4 aston villa boxing day. embarassing performance moyes just shrugged his soliders we were in relegation battle that year. couldnt buy a win.

0-4 arsenal 98 players just didnt try which is unacceptable. especially in a relegation battle with 2 games left and in the bottom 3.

0-2 fiorentina we were so bad and it rained all game.

i've given 10. wont involve liverpool as i know they have dealt with the devil.
 
This.

I was young, but remember it vividly - one of my earliest full memories I have. To this day whenever I see the words "Everton" and "Wimbledon" in the same sentence I shudder.

Wrote this a while back to sum it up.

My worst too, only a kid then, and it felt like my world was falling apart until Horne closed his eyes and hit the speccy of his life to kick start us.

Get in lad!

The 09 final was pretty tough, because when Saha scored I genuinely believed that is was all about to happen. They say it's the hope that kills you, and I can't remember ever being more hopeful than in the moments after that goal.

Still, last years semi was worse.

The funny thing about this is as soon as I was done jumping around Yates(me and me bro watched all the FA cup games there and thought if it as good luck) I sat back down and just thought we've scored too soon here, and I belive it was on the face of all the players as well nobody new what to do after that. Also the fact we had half a squad.
 
Apart from the obvious ones like semi final against them last season and the clattenburg derby one of the worst times I've had was the 3-3 draw against Man U 2 or 3 seasons ago when Atkinson blew up before injury time was up and we were on a break 3 against 2, if he had let it run for even 10 more seconds we would have won it but it was blatant cheating on the ref's part. Thinking about it that was probably the angriest I'd ever been.
 
The day the European ban was announced in the aftermath of Heysel was another bleak day (albeit pale in comparison with the loss of life and the heartache of the relatives of the 39 victims).

The summer of '85 was to be such an optimistic time for Evertonians....at last we had a team in the European Cup and well capable of winning it.

The rest, of course, is history.

Despite the title win in '87, I don't think EFC ever recovered from the blow that was the European ban and much of what has happened since flows directly from that period of unfulfilled potential.
