When was the last time we THRASHED someone?

[zefarelly]

Hence this quote from him;

Brighton manager Mark McGhee:

"To start the game like that was disappointing.

"But the rest of the game we did nothing wrong. In fact we won it 1-0.

just goes to show what a twat he really is

6-0 home to Masfield, winning 3-1 at home to Reading was pretty spesh a few years ago, especially as it was on the way to the championship

SIX I believe my friend.

Previously 7-1 againgst Chester with BZ popping in 3.

Oh what days.

Walsall 7-0 1976

 

[Gwylan]

Walsall 7-0 1976

We've won 7-0 since then - against Charlton in 1983.

 

[Gerbil]

But Walsall was more of a thrashing!!

Best 45 minutes I've ever seen.

Not sure it was more of a thrashing - they seemed pretty equal to me.

What was really incredible about the Walsall one was that it was the second time we'd scored seven within three home games - we'd put seven past York a few weeks earlier (with a 1-1 draw against Palace as a sandwich). What days.

norwich away 14th feb

 

[Storer68]

has to be chester 7-1 away with the bobsters first hatrick


ahhhhh think on that you youngsters , once we could score seven golas agaime rather than seven goals a season

 

[Storer68]

didn't we thrash halifax (top of the league) when we were at Pissfield and still lost

 

[Bakesy]

Charlton at the Valley 3-0 Malcolm Poskett hat trick

Evening game....what a night that was

We were good against Charlton.............i remember us putting 7 past them at the Goldstone, and the Clowns were top of the table and unbeaten at the time.............oh happy days.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

I was thinking this the other day. In an ideal world, we'd stay up comfortably AND play attractive football but I'm sure we'd all take enough flukey 1-0 wins to keep us up right now.

 

[Gwylan]

We were good against Charlton.............i remember us putting 7 past them at the Goldstone, and the Clowns were top of the table and unbeaten at the time.............oh happy days.

I also remember them (with Alan Simonson in their team) putting five past us in the pissing rain in 1985.

I stood on the Chicken Run and got drenched.

And the 1st half was dire.

A bit like last saturday really without the 7 2nd half goals

 

[Juan Albion]

According to McGhee we thrashed Leicester for the last 85 minutes on Saturday...

Yeah, and he stole that from me. He clearly went straight on NSC after the game to see what I had put. No wonder I consider him a truly wise man.

 

[Sheikh Gull of Abu Dhabi]

Using Mark McGhee logic we thrashed Sheffield United 4-0* at Bramball Lane in the late 80s Paul Wood and kevin Bremner scoring.

*for the middle third of the game. Shame we lost the first third 3-0 and the final third 2-0!!

 

[Blackadder]

Remember it well!

And only 2 players scored for us!

We also beat York 7-2 that season (it was 2-2 at one stage) That match was on MOTD

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Surely the Toquay 6-2 game then?

That was a quality game. I remember we went 3-0 up, then Torquay pulled us back to 3-2 & then Kerry cleared one of the line which would have made it 3-3. The crowd & players woke up & we went on the rampage.

I know it was the bottom division, but that was still the best season I've had as an Albion fan. I was a season ticket holder & we thumped teams every other home game. The only probem that season was that we were rarely tested at home & it occasionally got a little boring - we either played badly & scraped a win/draw, or destroyed teams. And I believe that season was the last time I watched a game with Sim?

Apart from the Torquay game, highlights were beating Cheaterfield at home, & beating Orient 2-1 away. Would I swap destroying teams on a weekly basis compared to playing in the Championship for two seasons though? Absolutely not. Winning 4-0 each week is fun, but it doesn't compare to the odd win against Sunderland, Leeds, West Ham etc. And that's why we need to stay up this season - to preserve the possiblity of shocking the Big Boys every now & again

i remember that, we lost one nil, richie barker hit the bar late on but we were all over them, i remember enjoying the game though.

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

Aldershot 6-2 on motd?

 

[Cadman]

I remember us beating Wisbech 10-0 in the cup and Southend 9-0 the following home game (or something like that.) Late sixties I think.
