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.

All managers that don't manage our own clubs sound like bitches when they moan. It's just football - but Rafa was responding because the knight of the realm was getting away with murder, so I don't blame him for sticking up for the club and his players. Rafa was never disrespectful to anyone, yet Fergie riled up all his English mates like Big Sam/Moyesiah/Pullis to make a song and dance out of everything, including the time Rafa made a whatever kind of hand gesture to xabi after he ignored Rafa's instructions from a corner, and we scored.

Well apparently he was saying "Game over" to fat sham, so manager after manager came out saying how disrespectful it was - all lead by the man who allowed the glazers into united.

Only people with absolutely nothing about them are happy to sit there and continually take s**t from idiots.

Wasnt 2001 a Quadruple season? Or do Liverpool fans not count the Charity shield?

You can actually count it as a quintuple if you throw the European super cup in there as well, but they are just add-ons. The treble is good enough.

BBfanUSA · 13-03-2014, 10:44 AM

1) Super Bowl 43, Patriots vs Giants and the famous "gum on the head" catch that eventually lead to a Giants game winning touchdown

2) Landon Donovan scoring in Added Time against Algeria in 2010 WC, allowing the US to advance

3) Sporting Kansas City winning the MLS Cup over Real Salt Lake after 20 PKs were taken in the Penalty Shootout.

4) Abby Wambach scoring in Extra Time Added Time to force a Penalty Shootout and help the US win the match over Brazil in the WWC 2011

5)Green Bay winning Super Bowl 45 over Pittsburgh

If we were to count the people Chelsea have treated like crap, we'd need many hands

Novo · 13-03-2014, 10:59 AM

If we were to count the trophies they have won since Roman came along we'd need many more hands

Shaun · 13-03-2014, 11:01 AM

yes well it's amazing what money can buy

Novo · 13-03-2014, 11:03 AM

Money well spent though, that's the difference between City and Chelsea at the minute

To defend city, it's a lot easier when the team Roman took over had just finished 2nd in the league, and could add to a good squad already. Besides, they had a free run at most of the players as no one else in English footie had that money to spend at the time. To do it now is a lot harder.

Jesus speaking the truth as per.

Spending £5 on Martin Demichellis was a lovely investment tyvm **** off.

GiRTh · 13-03-2014, 11:55 AM

Chelsea might have won more if Roman's ego hadnt got in the way so often.

GiRTh · 13-03-2014, 01:06 PM

I agree with Jesus, Chelsea had it a little easier than City but I have to question how long can City spend 100m a year on players and still come this far short?

The biggest mistake city made was not upping the ante after they won the league. If they'd have gone on to make some superstar signings that summer - instead of Rodwell and Garcia, they would have kicked on. They didn't use that moment to build on their upward curve, and now they're just in the mix with Chelsea and potentially Arsenal.

Not Man Utd.

Not at the moment, as they've got a tough battle with Southampton on their hands for mid table obscurity. But once they spend the national debt of Europe in the summer, then no doubt they'll be declaring what a magnificent achievement it is to return to the top 4.
