...at this very moment was getting drenched on the terraces at Boundary Park watching us getting a 6-0 drubbing from Oldham in another St Valentines Day Massacre.
Anyone else there?

I don't remember that far back, but I suspect losing to Forest recently was more embarrassing, 5 nil?
At least Sam says we are taking the FA Cup serious this season...oh....

Oldham was easily the worst away game ever. And I was lucky enough to be in the seats out of the pissing rain all night.

Oldham was the worst ever, followed by Birmingham League Cup Semi Final and then today. Perhaps we should stop going away games Ornchurch?

Losing to Forest last season doesn't come close to the 6-0 drubbing at Oldham. It was a cup semi final first leg and we had our strongest team out. The Forest debacle was Allardyce basically just throwing a game, putting out our reserves, so he could concentrate on the league. Disgraceful but predictable whereas the Oldham one was painful if predictable West Ham.

I had this conversation with the kids today. The worst away game in 40 years bar none.
Massive row with her in doors, 5 hours to get there, pissing with rain, parked in the worst mud I have ever seen and then made Frankie Bunn look like Pele. Only West Ham could lose 6-0 to a pub team.
A week later we beat them 3-0 in the second leg, how can you do that and still lose.
I should have seen today coming, I will never learn.

I think it was officially Macari's last game in charge, although seem to remember he didn't show up that night.
