As a younger blue, the SF v West Ham was devastating, as was the QF defeat by Man City when we were so close to beating them at Goodison in the first game. Although I started going in 76-77, I was probably a bit too young to take in the impact of losing the LCF with Villa and the Clive Thomas FA cup semi. A game I always remember being at, at the height of the "Kendall out" period, was a 2-0 defeat at home to a painfully bad Norwich, John Bailey scoring one of the daftest own goals I've ever seen, on a grey winter afternoon with barely 15000 of us rattling around Goodison. More modern era, nothing will be as low as Tranmere, though they aren't the worst team we've lost to (it's easy to forget that they were only one division below us). At least if we get beat by Liverpool, there's always that hope that we can get our own back some day. That'll never happen with Tranmere unless we draw them in the cup again. The semi against one of the most ordinary teams Liverpool have ever had at Wembley was more painful for me than the 0-5 against them, at least that was a brilliant Liverpool team. And last but not least - Collina at Villareal. I know some fans mention 1986, and of course it was a sore one, but I'd kill to see Everton competing (even if it ultimately ended in failure) at that kind of level again.

Dion Dublin’s equaliser for Coventry after Judas Barmby had missed a pen to go 2-0 up and seal safety in 98, thank god for Luca Vialli

Fiorentina in 08, we battered them that night and didn’t deserve the penalty heartbreak, me and my mates hit the booze hard that night, the hangover in college the next day just made it worse

The semi against the Kult in 2012, my first trip to Wembley old and new and Big Sylv chooses that day to make the biggest cock up of his Everton career, 7 years after that lot ruined another big event for me (my first derby on my 18th birthday)

Appointing Sam Allardyce as manager

Appointing Benitez as manager

First half of THAT Palace game, was convinced that was that for us as a PL club

A horrible day that. I’ve never felt the same about the club since.

What's interesting about that is at the time I 100% agreed with your sentiment, at that time.
But moving forward too today I now realise I was 100% wrong and those who applauded were right.
TBF I don't think they all understood why, many just went with the flow, but with the benefit of seeing now that a new owner wasn't a guarantee of a change for the better in our fortunes, those who applauded got it right

I have. And none of it makes me think getting rid of Big Sam is the worst thing to happen to this club in the last 5/10/15/20/30 years.

It was the start of this spiral, we've only gone backwards since, he had one year left, just one, he could easily of been allowed to see that out.
When Moshiri sacked him for no logical reason it was obvious we were in trouble.
