TBH, I always find Liverpool annoying, but in their credit, they've been involved in some amazing cup ties and finals. That 5-4 with alaves (I think) in the UEFA cup in 2000/2001 was absolutely amazing.

Arsenal V Spurs a few years ago, the 5-4 one. Best game i think I've ever seenEven though we (spurs0 lost, it was the most "on the edge of your seat" game I've ever sat through.
I remember that. It was live on TV in China, but I thought it would be a scrappy derby so I went out for a meal. Came back and saw the scoreline and was like
Agreed, that was a fucking shit game, just totally dull bayern scoring early and trying to shut man u out for the rest of it, man u didn't create much at all, but you just knew when he bought sheringham and solksjaer on that they would score the equaliser and winners, as that's what those two had been doing all that season and it just felt like man u's destiny to win the treble
Yeah, but you can console yourself by thinking about that FA Cup game where Citeh went 3-0 down and had someone sent off at spuds, and still won 4-3
I was there. Very draining experience.

It's a subjective thing.
The game I remember most is the Arsenal 2-0 clinching the league against Liverpool. "Michael Thomas.....it's up for grabs now!" etc
Also memorale because I jumped up in excitment and spilled tea all over mum's new cream carpet. She cried for hours

Celtic 6 3 Tirol Innsbruck from the last season of the Cup Winners' Cup
2-1 down from the first leg, absolutely end to end stuff. Nervy defending at the end as we knew that an Innsbruck goal would put us out on away goals, til Morten Wieghorst scored in the last minute to clinch it. Best of all was I was a ballboy at the game, sat in front of a couple hundred travelling fans all of whom had whistles and wouldn't shut up for the 90 minutes. Nearly got chucked "back" into the crowd at the end walking back to the tunnel as well by an over-zealous steward.
Pity we went out on away goals to Liverpool in the next round

Actually I'll plump for the Palace vs Man U cup final (after 'Pool in the semi's). To live in South London for the weeks leading up to that weekend was actually quite special
No, wait, Spurs doing Arsenal in the cup final when Gazza scored 'that' free kick...
Nope the 5-1, after years of abuse, banter, and then not even being worth the indignation of Gooners even mentioning the derby as we just weren't even in the same league, to complete annihilation! I had waitied for that day in the office for 5 years, and boy was it worth it!
Or Nayim from the half way line, though I'm perhaps alluding my personal bias with the last 3.

Yeah that was alright
The neverending sequence of more and more unlikely comebacks and late winners which rocketed us from 17th to Wembley in a month and a half was even more amazing
I still find myself watching the last goal on Youtube, pure Hollywood. The sight of their desperately sprinting back and the way the ball seemed to hit every blade of grass as it slowly rolled in...and then the roar of thousands of pissed Bristolians, what a day!!!

how long has that been your motto? Brilliant.
Ah, I've just checked. I've only ever seen it in Latin before. That is great though.

What a wonderful domestic image.

I really wish I'd been at this game, as reported by Henry Winter in The Independent on Tuesday 13 April 1993:
The best I've seen was the 1993 first division play-off final against Leicester City. We went 3-0 up, they then scored three in about 12 minutes, we won it with a Paul Bodin penalty late on. Fantastic stuff.

It's me that needed the brackets. 14 years old and from elation to pure guilt in a heartbeat. I tried to consohe but she chased me away
Seem to remember Onket telling me he was there

Yes, I was there. We took loads that day, so many that they had to open up an extra pen behind the goal for us. Where were you? Good job you had the 'loyal' removed from your boardname, etc, etc.
Jazzie has got it on video (at least he used to have it).
Has anyone mentioned that Carlisle game?
That was a moment and a half, the Carlisle keeper JimmY Glass coming up the other end and scoring the winner, keeping Carlisle up, and sending Scarborough down. It was in the 5th minute of injury time and the Scarborough fans had already invaded the pitch of their own ground, thinking they had stayed up!

Ah! Everyone's favourite Misser, Ronnie Rosenthal sparking up and doing 3 of the best ever Spurs goals after going 3-0 down (or maybe 2-0?) (and after what seemed like an eternity of dull Spurs games where we were fighting to end our season in October) to a Grobelaared Southampton in the FA Cup one dark midweek fixture.
With the look of dejection on Bruce's face as he almost waved to the ball going past him for RR's third, no-one could ever tell whether it was the unbridaled joy (or indeed shock) of the invigorated and frankly unstoppable striker exorcising his demons of one of footballs pre-youtube days most infamous scenes, or that there was 2 million yen on the outcome.

If its the same game I'm thinking of, the first half of the first leg in Madrid was some of the best football I have ever seen.
Yeah, the first half man u got spanked 3-0 or 3-1 iirc and everyone said they were fucked, they made a real fist of the second leg but it wasn't quite enough, but it was an amazing pair of fixtures, shame that real madrid spunked everything on that and then got knocked out by one of the italian teams in the semis, and the final was one of the worst games i've ever seen

Like a boss.
My favourite games were the 3-3 between Leicester and Arsenal, and the 4-4 between Leicester and Villa when Leicester were 4-1 with about 5 mins to go. Was at them both

is my favourite game ever, though the clip does almost nothing to explain why. But if I say the away end was packed by noon for a three o'clock kick-off and the first flask-holders who came in to the home stands were surprised to be greeted with "we can see you sneaking in..."

I saw that Oxford had 2500+ at Woking last Saturday - great support for a non-league team.
