That’s what makes us special as club lads and lasses, the highs and lows go together. Disappointed about Coventry, but I was in Cardiff for my clubs first ever Major Trophy… how many fans can say that.
Imagine being a Man U fan from London only supporting them because they were winning trophies… and now being frustrated with winning very little, I imagine a fair few change allegiance… Urgghh
Who’s the unlucky one… they’ll never get to feel like pure emotional joy we get.
When we win it means something to us because of our lows.
Bring on next season… I can’t wait.

That was the best feeling and the worst feeling ever on a game. Ravanelli scoring then a boom a knock out punch.

To name a few.

Because that had a chain of consequences leading up to losing in the FAC final, and knowing that chance would not come again. It has looked less and less likely every year.

The question was most gutted though? Not most embarrassing result.
The chance to win a European trophy (probably the only chance we'll ever get), with one of the strongest Boro sides we've seen.
No disgrace losing to Sevilla as you say, but still a game we had a very real chance of winning. This was a Boro side that was admittedly inconsistent, but had stuffed Chelsea 3-0 and Man United 4-1. They were certainly capable. It was only 4-0 because we had to go kamikaze at the end.
That's why people are saying Sevilla. I was absolutely gutted. After the comebacks it felt like it was meant to be.

That is what the Coventry game felt like, the Leicester game. I couldn’t see anything other than a win. It never even entered my head that we would lose.
In my time supporting it's
Cardiff which was bloody awful.
Relegation in in 09/10, all I'd known was Boro in the prem and it led to such a depressing era
Norwich at Wembley, went to town on the night and it was the quietest I'd ever seen Boro on a Monday night back then.
Honourable mention.
Preston 4-1 Boro. Final day of last season, the feel good factor was there (even with Wilder being seduced by Burnley) and we went to deepdale and got absolutely pummeled and were nowhere near the play offs in the end. That was the catalyst of pure depression until Halloween haha

The 2-0 defeat at Charlton in 15/16 is up there for me.
When we beat Derby 2-0 (I think on New Years Day?) that season it felt like automatic promotion was ours to lose. The season ended well of course, but with the Karanka walk-out & lacklustre performance I was sure we had blown it at the time.

Mine is Norwich in the play off final. I was too drunk in Eindhoven to remember the game so sadly that doesn’t make my list!

The most gutted ? Perhaps a bit historical , but no one could have done anything worse to the fans.
At the time it was like being slapped across the face with a wet fish.
Brian Clough scored a goal a game at Middlesbrough , a guaranteed 40 goals a season , was sold to Sunderland in 1962, thus ensuring Boro was marooned in the old Second Division for another 11 years.

Easily Leicester for me
Working away from home so wore the area of Teesside on my sleeve and the real chance of a major trophy
Inconsolable afterwards
Also now thinking could add Leeds to that and knowing we`d lose the best player I`ve ever seen wear a Boro shirt, not as bad as Leicester but pretty gutting all the same

Heskey in the LC final
Relegation at leeds
Losing to aresnal in the FAC semi at OT, if we had a striker we would of beat a very good team that day but to lose via an og was gut wrenching for me.

The usual suspects. I'd add the League Cup defeat against Chelsea in 1998 although we were on our way to promotion. Another, "let's not bother turning up" performance (and Gazza should have been sent off). My friend was inconsolable that day, sobbing that "we'll never win anything, ever". I thought "she's right".
