What's the best game you've ever been to, and why?

[blue_aussie05]

I'd imagine there will be a wide variety of answers here, depending on how old you are.

Mine would have to be the Bayern Munich semi in 1985, which was ironically better than the final. The atmosphere that night was unlike anything I've experienced before or since, and to beat a European powerhouse was a significant event for us. Been to loads of great matches, though. The 4-4 against the RS also springs to mind.

What was yours?

Munich semi. Never see anything like that again I'm afraid.

In all honesty too many to mention but Moenchen .gladbach at home was amazing!!!! European cup won on pens.
PS missed Munich at home and Rotterdam!! Long story sigh.

For atmosphere and emotion, it has to be Munich and the Andy King derby equally. For quality I'd go for 4-1 against Sunderland in 85, we were sensational that day.

Latchford' s 30th goal and this, which I'd like to see repeated this weekend please.

Aargh, it's like Sophie's Choice but with footie.

Too many to think through, but the Lee Carsley derby. Put us 3rd, 12 points above Liverpool but the game seemed to give us the belief we could get 4th.

Man Utd the same season was ace, as was the Newcastle FA Cup match in 1995 - that was an ace atmosphere. I knew we'd win it and be safe after that.

Gary Speed's debut was good too.

Loads, like.

In recent times 3-0 arsenal. top class

 

[The Equaliser]

7-1 v Southampton 1996
7-1 v Sunderland 2007

Why ? Just completely blew the opposition away. And plenty of goals.

Rooney against arsenal
Carsleys winner against Liverpool

The Munich Semi for the atmosphere, game and result. However for the shear torture and anxiety, coupled with relief, joy and one of the best nights on the ale ever , it's got to be the 1994 last game of the season relegation escape against Wimbledon.

I loved seeing them pick up the trophy on the last day against Luton in 87.

 

[blue_aussie05]

Who'd have thought back then that it'd be another 28 years and counting before doing it again. To be fair, we haven't even come close to even challenging again in that time. [Poor language removed] knows when the next one will be, either

The Wayne Clarke derby in 1988. First time I'd seen us beat the Viet Cong and the first time I remember ever getting a hug off my dad!
Edit: next hug was when Michael Thomas scored that goal. I reckon my dad hated them more than anybody I've ever met.

As with anyone who was there the Munich semi, that aside hard to pick one, that 3 0 against Liverpool a few years back was something special
