1977 final against Mancs. It was my first time at wembley and I had travelled down on a coach full of United fans. The trip home was a nightmare 50 happy singing Mancs and me crying. The worst thing was I had a choice of tickets, I could have gone to European Final instead.

Losing to Wimbledon in the 1988 cup final, and losing to Arsenal when Michael Thomas scored.

[azriahmad]

Michael Thomas scoring with virtually the last kick of the game at Anfield in the last game of the season which got Arsenal the title. nono can compare to that one but the recent Benfica game was close.

The 1988 FA Cup final was an anti-climax and we were very poor in that game and having wrapped up the title with champagne football, that defeat was not too bad for me. In the 1996 FA Cup final, I was a bit disenchanted with all the "Spice Boys" thingy and United were favourites anyway.

It may be of very recent vintage and it may be for a "Mickey Mouse" cup but last year's Carling Cup loss to Chelsea left a bad taste in my mouth for several reasons:

1) Playing well and then losing it late
2) An own goal from Stevie (added insult to injury!)
3) All of the sh!te about the own goal (proves that Stevie's off to Chelsea etc.)
4) Allowing fecking Kezman onto the scoresheet!
5) Mourinho goading the Liverpool fans...what a bell-end!

Strangely, the bad feelings evaporated after the CL semi-final matches, though.  Funny that!

yeah the arsenal game was the worst, it didnt seem real at the end, i`d sort of trancended being devastated and was just totally out of it, people were speaking to me but it felt like they were miles away and speaking through a toilet roll, probably the word they`d use now is traumatised.
it didnt dawn on me we`d actually lost the league until about july.
77 was bad but i had the moral crutch to lean on that we were by far the better side and the winning goal was about as flukey as you get.
some of the f.a cup losses to so called lesser sides like your brightons and chelsea`s in the late 70`s and early 80`s were bad to take considering we were so dominant in the league and in europe.
against united in the 90`s i wasnt expecting much to be honest and the way we capitulated after we went 1-0 down didnt really surprise me. even roy keane after the final said it doesnt really feel like we`ve won because the game was such a non event. that ironically was probably uniteds worst performance that season too.
obviously we are talking in the sense of results where only games or titles were lost, sadly this club has been involved in games where much, much more was lost.

Scum 1-0 Liverpool Ferdinand last minute after we battered them

[BOODIDDY]

losing to arsenal in 89. Three days after hammering west ham i thought the double was on again. Wimbledon the year before and bolton defeat in the fa cup. Purely cos im a bolton lad and school was unbearable.

Any defeat to the salford hurts but i can cope with them now.

There are so many results over the years that have left me me upset and angry, annoyed or just plain indignant over the 32 years i have followed LFC.

But, the title of this thread is games that left you devastated. There is only for me one and that was abandoned, and held in Sheffield all those years ago.

We may have won the cup that year, but i would have swapped every cup we have ever won for the lives lost that day.

So we may remember a game against, Brondby, Wimbledon or Arsenal but the biggest game of all is what leaves us at our most vulnerable.....

[greenred]

Nobodys forgetting Hillsborough CrazyHorse.We're just discussing defeat on the pitch.

Your right of course,April 15th 1989 was the biggest loss of all.

[Effes]

After much thought - I've never been so gutted as the 1988 FA Cup v Wimbledon. The YNWA at the end was the best I've witnessed.

Recently, the 4-1 at home to Chelsea.
You can't say much when you get a 4-1 tonking at home.

Respect to you Crazyhorse for your sentiments.It goes without saying that day was the most devastating day in our history,a day non of us who wittnessed it will ever forget.The thread was started from a pureley football point of view.
  I lost two friends at Hillsbourgh,and would never intentionally cause offence to anyone on this subject.Football is a game,Hillsbourgh was much more than that.

88-89 season Liverpool 0-2 Arsenal
i had 5 Arsenal fans over at my house for the game, need i say more.

[KennyisGod....still]

1-0 down to the Arsenal at home in 89 i threatened to throw my uncle out the livin room window (a second floor flat), at the end he didn even dare say a word. Add that to the 88 cup final when my dog endured the longest walk he ever went on jus to try and get away from the telly, and losin to palace after wailin them 9-0 I think the picture becomes clear! You'd think after all my years of supportin the Scots I'd be used to losin, but it never comes easy , but someone has to lose I guess, and if it makes you come back stronger......

[Big Niall]

A few disappointments but by an absolute mile the lowest has to be that Michael Thomas goal. I was sooooo down.

In the last 10 years the lowest has been a game that nobody else on this site really cared about. The world club final. Should have Champions of the World for the first time and it will be hard to come that close again. Really gutted, couldn't believe we couldn't score one goal.
