Did you just read one of your posts?
I know....here’s a tip. Stop writing stuff.
:eriksenlol:
In my time...the ones that felt hugely important at the time:
Everton semi 94/95
Barnsley away 97/98 season drew 1-1, a defeat would have put us in the relegation zone in April, IIRC
League cup final 99 vs Leicester
FA Cup semi 99 vs Newcastle
FA Cup semi 01 vs goons
Lasagne-gate
League cup final 08 vs chavski
Man City away Crouch 1-0
Chavs battle of stamford bridge
FA Cup semi vs Chavs season before last
FA Cup semi vs Mancs last season
Others that are important, with hindsight:
League cup final vs chavs, Poch's first season in charge, a win may have given our young team the confidence in future big games, although a lot of the players have changed since then
West Ham away in the season Leicester won it (last game at Boleyn Ground)...seems to be the game after which Leicester got a fair lead on us and we never caught up, three extra points at that stage could have made all the difference
Similarly the midweek home game vs Leicester that same season, when Kane hit the bar and then they scored from a corner, we didn't realise at the time what a massive difference a small amount of extra luck might have given us there, a real 6 pointer.
On the positive side I would agree with the 2-1 home win against the scum, when (with hindsight) Poch's vision seemed to come together, and our players were barely affected by their goal. We played so well that day and also I don't think I can remember the Lane ever being louder??

Urgh. Still makes me cringe to remember that one. Was listening on the radio and hearing that Vega had got a red card on 65 mins. I really thought we were down
Still can’t believe there was “Spurs are too good to go down” talk at that time
:lennon:
I was 13. Went absolutely mental when we scored our equaliser. Think it went in off Colin Calderwood's arse. The game everyone remembers was the 6-2 win at Wimbledon but in fact we were likely to be safe by that point, with that result just confirming it.
Going back a while but the 0-0 away draw to Southampton that secured Promotion back to the top Division in the Seventies. Another year in the 2nd tier would have been disastrous. In those days it was the stress of listening to updates on the Radio. After being in a strong position to go up, we needed that draw with Southampton who were also promoted.
For me I’ll always remember the 4-4 at the Scum, from Bentley’s outrageous opener, to Lennon hungrily grabbing the ball out of the net after Jenas put in our third and running back to the centre circle as if he was destined to score the equaliser that he did. I remember the way a Yid dived on to the pitch to celebrate with the players, and Harry’s “two points in ten games” mantra which he must’ve mentioned at least five times post-match.
But emotions aside, why was it so important? It gave the players belief in themselves, belief that they had the quality to climb up the table if they fought for it, and it did this by order of magnitude compared to the win against Bolton in the match prior.

Was in a bar for that, and some gooner was giving it in the last ten minutes.....not outright, but 3rd hand by saying things loud to his missus.
Jenas has the ball, he’s gone “haha go on Jenas”.....
Top Cornaaaaaar You Slaaaaag
Then it was ....”I’m glad they scored, give them hope ha ha”
Though he would have learned, but no.
Gomes with the kick...
“Hoooooof haha”
Falls to Modric and he’s still not done
“Go on then Modric”
Off the post.........
“Weeeeey......”
Oh
LENNNNNNNONNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The scenes. The fucking scenes.
I was on my mates back screaming
WHAT JUST FUCKING HAPPENED
WHAT JUST FUCKING HAPPENED
FUCK OFF
FUCKING AVE THAT
Beers, beer mats, chairs went over, we were soaked......
Looked around and saw a pasty green grey gooner slouched at the bar, his missus stroking his hair.
Awwwwwwwwww
Goes to show you can find anything if you look hard enough!
