1) 2005 cl win in Istanbul. The rollercoaster of emotions that night can never be surpassed by another sporting event, unless we find ourselves 4-0 down at half time in the final next year against Bayern, and come back and win.

2) the semi-final against Chelsea in 05. The craziest noise at Anfield, and the atmosphere was generally ridiculous. Made all the more special by Mourinho still whinging about the "ghost goal" to this day. The ref came out afterwards and said if he hadn't given the goal it was a penalty and Cech would have been sent off for the foul on Baros - but that never gets mentioned.

3) 2001 - the treble season. Again - just another mad adventure, for a football club that does mad adventures better than any other. We spent a lot of that season playing some of the most defensive hoofball I can remember seeing any team play, nevermind Liverpool, but somehow all the important games just turned into some of the craziest fixtures ever. The final against Arsenal that should have ended in about a 5-0 defeat, the LC final against Birmingham where we should have lost to a penalty that wasn't given, the crazy goalfest that was the UEFA final, Gary Mac's 45yd free kick against the bitters. Wrapping up champions league qualification with a Robbie Fowler overhead kick away at Charlton on the last day of the season.

4) Rafa's rant - Because he was spot on with what he said, and the press missed the point completely. The myth to this day is that cost us the league, but the 11 league games we played after that produced 9 wins and 2 draws. United just kept winning in the season Howard Webb was at his peak in united colours, throwing penalties at them whenever they needed one. They were also just a crushing machine towards the end of that season.

5) The day in court when we rid ourselves of a couple of American parasites. A terrible chapter in the history of the club, and an absolutely shameful episode in the lives of Moores and Parry who sold them the damn thing. We're still recovering to this day, but that evening felt as good as many victories on the field.
