I've been supporting Palace since 1952 so there's a lot to choose from!

My most disappointing defeat was the 1976 FA Cup semi-final defeat at Stamford Bridge. Seeing Palace in the Cup Final at Wembley was my childhood dream and getting so close and realising it was likely to be many years before the chance came round again made for a sad and gloomy journey back home from the game.

Play off final 96. Claridge shin.

Southampton, May 05, 2-2. Ok, not a loss but the worst I've felt walking away from Selhurst in my nearly 50 years supporting the red'n'blue.

I done a thread earlier about tonight being one of the hardest to take of my life. Now I’ve calmed down, because we don’t know
What the impact of it is going to be, I’m not sure it is,it could be but hopefully not. I’m going to list my top 5 hardest to take defeats of my 29 year old life. I’m going to give you a bit of background first. I’m a die hard fan. Like you all. But I’m obsessed. I was worse when I was younger. I would watch the teletext from the age of 4 waiting for the score to change to e.g, c palace 1-0 port vale. I would do this every week, just watch, Tuesday nights aswell if I was lucky. Then cam Gillette soccer special. Fantastic. Doing this from an early age I believe helped that I now have a photographic memory. At the age of 4 I could speak every result from the days football, Scottish leagues premier league and al the way down to the conference.
Anyway, sorry to babble on, but this was obviously a skill ( the memory) but along with became a obsession. With palace. If we lost, I was evil, it would effect me so badly. It still does, but I can control it better. I remember once, we didn’t even lose, the game for postponed (v Luton) I went to my room with a knife and calves lines all through the wallpaper. You can imagine what I was like if we lost!!!

I’m going to give you a few results in my life that effected me really badly, I’m not going to include tonight..... yet...

In order- palace 2-2 Southampton 2005. Nikolai Ventola scores to make it 2-1 in the 89th/90th minute. The crowd is still celebrating when Danny Higginbotham goes and equalises down the other end. I sat in the isle in the Arthur wait crying. Hope was not lost, all we had to do was beat chsrlton next week....

Palace 1-2 Man Utd fa cup final. Puncheon scores with 12 mins left, we all know what happens next

Leicester 2-1 palace play off final, should clarifies goal really have been allowed? Coaches and management were still in the pitch,

Palace 2-3 Nottingham forest, year 2000!!! Bit of a meaningless game in the grand scheme of things but this got me!! We were 3-0 and battled back to 3-2. We get a last minute penalty, Julian gray scores, or has he?? Penalty ordered to be re taken and the rest is history!! He misses!! One of the most frustrating and horrific
Moments I have witnessed.

Hope you enjoyed that,made me feel better about tonight.
