Doug2013 0 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 What do you think is the greatest match in history of English football. I would say Sunderland v Charlton in the play off final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Toon v Leicester in 1990 best I've ever seen, 4-2 doon with 10 minutes to go and we won 5-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@yourservice 67 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Orchard Mews care home v Briardene Care home 1-0 to Briardene and it's a shame the cameras were not there, as the lead up play took over 400 passes before it trickled over the line.

Noelie 103 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 1966 World Cup Final I agree with that, and I wonder how many on the forum were alive in 1966. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobos 297 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 In my living memory (since 1977) it was probably the euro game against Scotland where Gazza scored that absolutely wonder goal in 96, but I was lucky enough to be there and just the right age to have a proper all week piss up to boot.

Craig 6321 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Totally subjective. Biggest party atmosphere I've ever witnessed was the 1-0 win over Pompey in 1992. All the examples above are candidates. However Sunderland / Charlton isn't even the best Play Off final there's been - Blackpool / Cardiff topped that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Sunderland / Charlton isn't even the best Play Off final there's been - Blackpool / Cardiff topped that one. I was at that game, it was a quality game all the goals were in the first half though and I think the mackem one was even more exciting. The best English game any of us have ever seen was the first Liverpool 4 Newcastle 3, it's boring saying it but it was. Other than the toon games, I think Blue Dippers 4 Wall Pushers 4 was a fantastic advert for English football, some brilliant goals by Beardsley and Barnes too. The best English international in our lifetimes in terms of wanting England to do well was either Holland 4-1 or Germany 5-1, but as an actual game with two sides playing brilliantly, I'd have to say England 3 Argentina 2 in 2005 was the most enthralling well balanced international game I can remember. Amazing for a friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27367 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Saw us beat Leicester 5-4 in a great come back then the next season went to Filbert Street to see another end to end game where they did us 5-4. Quinny scored a hat-trick in the defeat but another soon to be hero did the dirty and scored three for the Foxes. Who was he? As an aside, a friends dad drove us down for this game and he couldn't get parked in a tight space so he made us lift another car up and move it so he could get in.

donaldstott 0 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Difficult as a fan to look past NUFC games. I got pretty excited by: Man City vs QPR to win the title was a pretty amazing. Watford vs Leicester in the play off semi These are more great finishes than great games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27367 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The Charlton v Mackem play off was good as was Readings a couple of years later, was going to mention the Liverpool v Everton 4-4 cup game but Stevie beat me to it, I thought their games were generally shite and completely overplayed by both BBC/ITV so it was a surprise as well as a canny game.

Howmanheyman 27367 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The Pompey game of 1992 is the most emotional and nerve wracking I've been to. When they say 'pandemonium' to describe a winner they can put this game as a reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing for a friendly. Everyone talks about the 5-1 as the best performance by an England team - probably because we well and truly put one over on the Germans after years of torment. The 4-1 win over Holland though for me was the most complete England performance I've ever seen. We completely destroyed a very, very good Dutch side. The German side of 2001 was abject and a shadow of both it's former and latter self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 6441 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I thought England looked decent tonight just either selfish or wayward with their final balls. Ireland defended very well apart from the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
