Me too, i lucked out that season as i saw the Chelsea and Liverpool games too. Nani' goal
Good times.
That's a different match. United trailing 0 - 3 in the first half. Changed shirt, and United didn't concede more goals in the second half. I watched that match live on tv here in Indonesia. I think that's in 1995/1996.
Remember when we were smashed to pieces by Middlesborough.
You forgot
Liverpool 1-4 (2009)
Liverpool 5 Forest 0
A lot of hammerings are good teams beating average/poor teams
Forest were a decent team (Webb, Clough, Walker, Pearce), 4th at the time and reached the Fa Cup semi final.
Liverpool annihilated them. Forest goalie played really well and Liverpool could have got 7+.
Liverpool didn't have one of their great teams (imo) but the front four were excellent. Beardsley (one of my favourite players outside United), Barnes, Houghton, Aldridge.
The skill by Barnes for the fourth goal is lovely... another player I'd pay to watch.
Lasting memory is the last goal and Stuart Pearce flailing a foot on the goal-line then head dropping, looking like a Sunday pub player.

Good shout on the Bilbao tie. I always found it amusing we tried to downplay it by saying it’s the Europa League, but the truth is we were completely outclassed tactically.
We displayed an unhealthy sense of arrogance when we dropped into the EL that season. We almost deserved to be humiliated.
Brazil 1 - 7 Germany is the biggest, most humiliating, soul crushing defeat in any sport I've ever seen. It goes far beyond the scoreline. It's the collective dream of a country being mercilessly buldozered into oblivion.
What ever happened to Fontaine?

This one is quite appropriate as it happened exactly 31 years ago (to the day). Real Madrid were on a streak where they had won 4 La Liga titles on the trot and had reached the European Cup semi-final stage in both 1987 and 1988. Sánchez was the reigning Pichichi, Butragueño had finished 3rd in the Ballon D'Or a year ago, Schuster had just signed from bitter rivals Barcelona — and then, of course, you had the Quinta del Buitre narrative (analogous to the Class of '92 for United). All came crashing down vs. a club that had embarked upon its first European Cup campaign in a decade, an era-defining match really — at least for Milan, who drew great confidence from the spanking and established themselves as the foremost team in all of football under Sacchi and subsequently Capello.
Not a 6-0 or anything and I’m definitely bias but I’m re watching it live on YouTube now - Wednesday 2-4 Blades. First derby in ages, we’d just got promoted from league one and made a huge statement. I’ve not heard any stick from Wednesday fans since. Currently 0-2 on YouTube
Can i cheat a bit and use parts of some games? Firstly referring to United Vs Chelsea in 2013 in the FA Cup, we were 2 down at half time but in the second half we got it back level and only God knows how we didn't win, I've never seen United so systematically torn apart at Old Trafford. That game made me really excited for the potential of the new team we were building.
Second was that opening 20 minutes from Barca at The Emirates in 2010, they didn't score because Almunia saved everything but that aside from that it was the most perfect 20 minutes of football you are ever likely to see.
Now playing by the rules and going on full matches off the top of my head.
Chelsea 5-0 Everton 2016
Barca 5-0 Real 2010
Barca 3-1 United 2011
Atleti 2-0 Barca 2016
United 7-1 Roma 2007

A lot of Liverpool fans who were around at the time feel the 1987/88 team were better than Klopp's current side. I was at that Forest match & I remember being nervous prior to kick-off because they were a very good side & we'd just beaten them in the FA Cup semi final a few days before, so the worry was they'd have the motivation to extract some sort of revenge. Happy to say it never happened as we completely destroyed Brian Clough's team. 10 years prior I was also at the match where we thrashed Spurs 7-0. The southern based press were bigging up the north London side as potential champions after they'd signed recent world cup winners Ossie Ardilles & Ricky Villa to go along with the likes of Glenn Hoddle & Steve Perryman.
Wrong match, the Grey shirts result was 3-1
Possibly explains why the Southern based press gave every single Liverpool player 10/10 in the Sunday papers the following day
Crazy match from the 1983/84 season when we won our 3rd league title on the bounce & eventually went on to win the European Cup & the League Cup. A really bad day at the office for us thanks to Terry Gibson.
Only a friendly but the Euro and WC champions in 2010 with the best midfield ever getting demolished by this Portugal team was hilarious
That wouldn't be the Southern based press that gave every single Liverpool player 10/10 in the Sunday papers the following day
Ha, I suppose even they couldn't hide behind that result
Sadly for Spurs and their fans that won't be an addendum in the record books.
I miss our games against Hamburg.
This was awful. Never supported Brazil but on that day, I felt for them.
I will never forget this game.The most humiliating defeat Have to agree. The countries had quite a rivalry for a while and still do. For Germany to that to Brazil, in Brazil was incredible.
Fontaine got permabanned I believe.
The best Celta destroying Benfica
There's been at least three Liverpool teams I'd rate over Klopps. I just meant that a team with Ablett and Gillespie (ok players mind) at the back would struggle to compare to some of the great 70s defenders. (but as I said, the front four (five if you include McMahon) were excellent).
The Spurs game was the one with McDermott scoring one of the goals of the season? I really rated him..... we did a pre-PL draft game thread a year or two ago and I had him in my side. Great player in a great team.
The 6-1 loss against Stoke was pretty grim.
The slip game.
Crystanbul.
You could probably pick a random Arsenal game from the past decade and have a good chance of finding one.
