Gabby's last-min goal in that 2-0 win at Blackburn a couple of seasons back. They celebrated right in front of us. We were on that long unbeaten run and we just looked invincible. When we secured those points I was so convinced we were going to kick on to great things.



What followed was CSKA, Stoke and the beginning of the end of MON.

Exactly what I was gonna say. Heskey was fantastic that game, Milner scored a cracker. We missed a hatful and then Gabby wrapped it up.

We went third didn't we? Singing 'who the fuck are Man United' as we looked to be challenging them. Just went awfully from then onwards.

Platt v Bradford in 88, and (controversially) Vassell v Stromsgodset in 98 (the greatest comeback!)

The second goal in the 5-1 demolition of the blose. I think I ended up crowd surfing. Very odd. I was 3 rows back and way across from where I started when the goal went in!

Any of the five against Liverpool in 1976.
Disbelief at it all.
Liverpool seemed unbeatable in those days.

Dion's winner against Arsenal 13th December 1998.

We came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2. Santa hit the stand which was obviously pretty serious for him and all the kids who thought they weren't going to get xmas pressies but it did allow us to have two pints at half time.

The performance that day was akin to a seasoned title chasing team, we controlled the tempo of the game and it was a really professional performance.

I’ll mention Zat’s injury time equalizer against Arsenal. Cahill’s bicycle kick against the Blose. I also remember a good atmosphere against Leeds in the FA Cup and we went mental when Merson scored if memory serves Carbone got a couple too.
