This thread is inspired by the many comeback and biggest win threads. i was on an amazing run in the new season with manutd played 8 won 8 with 1 goal conceeded. Arsenal played 6 won 2 with 2 draws and 2 defeats. We meet at old trafford, i take the lead and then they smack 5 past me. My boys look shell shocked. 1-5
While top of the premiership, I lost 7-2 to Arsenal, in a match which they had only 9 shots.
My goalie didn't make a save until we were 5 down.
The keeper for that match, who had been first choice up to this point, only played another 30 more minutes for the club (in which he conceded 3) and was quickly shipped off at the next opportunity.
In retrospect, it's a team effort, and I was maybe a bit harsh, but I was pretty arsed off.
I've probably (almost certainly) lost by more than 5 goals at some point, but that one was definately the most memorable.
My biggest defeat until now has been 5-0 away at Giuseppe Meazza with Barça. It was a group stage match in the CL. Incidentally, I went on to defeat that same Inter in the final, coming back from being a goal down 3 times to smack the 4-3 winning goal past their GK in the +90th minute (just before injury time). It was a sweet revenge for my biggest thrasing ever, and one of the most exciting, satisfying moments ever in a FM.
In my FM07 game, I'm currently in 2029 and my biggest defeats have both been 5-0, both while managing Aachen. Once to Duisburg, and once to Dresden. Not all that exciting really.
I just lost 0-7 to Villa as Leicester, my team was filled up with 4's I also had a 2 and a 3 and a 5. I Fined all 11 players 2 weeks wages and only 2 of them thought it was it was unfair.
For some reason my team collpases totally against 4-2-3-1, my season so far is pretty decent I'm 9th with a media prediction of 17th, no cash and no wagebudget so I havent been able to signt a single player this season.
My worst ever result on FM was probably my first game on my FM07 Oxford City save. On the first day of the season, playing promotion hopefuls Newport County, who had a team chock-full of Man United loanees, I was hammered 7-1. Bot my first and substitute goalkeepers got sent off with 30 minutes left and I was destroyed, with Danny Galbraith hitting 6.
Amazingly however, I won on the last day of the season to sneak into the final playoff spot, at the expense of... Newport County! They missed out on goal difference (they would have had to beat me 10-1 to overhaul my final position), so in hindsight, it could've been worse.

Boast about a negative....Biggest defeat. Post #10
unbeaten in around 6 games with barnet, attempting to get into the playoffs we came up against bury, struggling near the bottom and a team who we had always had trouble with (we lost 5-0 at their place in my first season)... i was confident but we were 1-0 down at half time... i asked the assistant for advice and he told them they were letting the team down, fair enough...
so at full time: barnet 0 bury 7
the "letting the team down" teamtalk NEVER works... not with small teams anyway... at 6-0 down i had to employ time wasting tactics to limit the final scoreline because we had been so bad
