Are we top of the "Worst Club against 10 men" League"?

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Over the past decade or so, we've got to be up there, surely?

[ErwinK1961]

Probably, and almost certainly top of the playing against 9 men league.

[S-Clarke]

We're certainly the worst club against Stoke. A really miserable team to play against, no matter what season, what scenario, what quality of player, what league.

It's always pure misery.

[Bakovnetski]

Top 3 at least

It is remarkable the way it seems we are the only side that never make it count when the opposition goes down to 10 men. It’s not a new phenomenon either, I remember us playing Colchester back in 2010 or something and were up against 10 men for an hour and could only muster a 0-0 draw

[AlexLaw76]

didn't we lose to 9 men (Newcastle) once?

And the other way round, if we go down to 10 or 9 men, we lose 9-0.

I once remember us grabbing a 3-3 draw from the jaws of victory against a 9 man Middlesbrough.

Spurs away quite recently lost 2-1 to 10 men. But we were at it back in March 1986 when we lost 1-0 away at 10 man West Brom - who were relegated that season. I seem to recall we missed a penalty as well.

We did, WBA had the no-smoking sponsor logo. Owen their Canadian ex-Man City midfielder scored. They were as bad as we were last season.
