The Big Match 11:36 - Jan 8 with 1099 viewsdaveB

On Saturday 18th January 10:30 the Big Match on ITV4 will feature Sunderland v QPR from 1984

We lose the game 3-0 featuring a great own goal from Steve Wicks but is extended highlights and we have a blatant penalty turned down.

After 41 years, it's great to read you've got over it David.

Do we ever get over these grudges? I have them for games before i was born. I think i can come up with a grudge with just about every team in the league in some form or other.

Especially QPR for doing all this to me in the first place.

Hopefully Brian Moore reviews it with his high-tech replay facility.

We never beat those gits at their out of town pit. Including a two goal surrender in 2002.

Cobblers.

A grudge against Northampton? For seemingly being glued to our League Cup ball around 20 years ago (painful) took at least 5 years for the adhesive to wear off.

A grudge compendium would make a good thread.
My Blackburn one is they beat us at their place in 1948 on Christmas Day. Tripe factory bastards.

Gillingham?

The number of times we lost there was ridiculous, everytime we found a new way to embarrass ourselves

Did provide me with a stupid moment that still makes me laugh today. Bloke from the British Queen told us he'd meet us in the pub for the cup game, doudou scored and we lost. He phoned my Dad and said I'm in tiggy friddys right by the ground. We walked around for about 10 minutes looking for this mystery pub before my Dad rang back and said did you mean TGI Fridays? We still call it tiggy friddys now

Oxford United for inventing dairy-based fantasy football in 1986.

Anyone got one on Colchester?

Is it wrong to have a grudge against a car factory team? I mean, they don't even play in Vauxhall.

Suffering since 1978.

… so much it’s playing with your memory? He played for Spurs that day! The fcker should have been sent off, though. Still remember him hauling sinton to the floor and Sinton got booked!

(frantically checks if Singh ever sent Gray off when he was playing for us)

There must be another team who had a record home attendance against us. Some inconsequential no-mark small time surburban outfit we happened to play for example. Brentford perhaps.

We were lucky to hang on to that in the end!
Mind you we should have bed out of sight!
I reckon we had nearly half the ground that day.

The Gillingham game was an FA Cup third round tie and surprisingly it wasn't one of our record 51 losses.
We drew 1-1 with Danny Boxshall scoring and won the replay at LR 3-1 (Hartburn, Hatton, McEwan) and eventually lost in the sixth round (SIXTH ROUND) in a replay against Derby.

Thanks to the great qprnet.com stats page.

Ah yes, you might be right. I remember a Gurnam Singh/Andy Gray connection and a feeling of total injustice. The mists of time eh.
