'My' favourite match - Liverpool-Arsenal 2004

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Not mine - it's a guardian thing. 

I remember that game - absolute mayhem when he scored. This was the team of the unbeaten season. This goal was a mad celebration

I was in Australia at the time so I refute this

Was that the game with the Vieira dive?

Kirkland was f***ing shyte

i was in the paddock and sat directly behind the shot... was sublime.... the place went off.

The Smicer one v Chelsea in '00, this one in '04, the real, last kick of the game madness celebrations at Anfield. Not really matched until Origi with the moment that completed football.

Dortmund was better than both as a last minute winner tbf.

Oh yeah. I was on the back row of the Kop for that, which is quite a surreal place to be. You can't really jump much or you bang your head.

Was in my normal ST seat, seat next to me was empty so one of my mates came at half time. He just disappeared and came back about 3 minutes later. Not a clue where he went.

I reckon that side at its peak was probably the best since us in about '78 or thereabouts. Had a bit of everything. Maybe just lacked a really great goalkeeper.

didn't he embarrass himself further with trying to explain it after?

[Hassony]

Enjoyed that, thanks Macca

This has to be mine, aged 16, under the light against the mancs, place bouncing as Jan Slams it in

Ironically Molby with the best strike of the night

so was i   - has a ST back then - front row bang on the halfway line. Saw it in as it left his boot. Was up, running and jumping as it was hitting the back of the net - seeing the Kop go up as it went in was a thing of magnificence.

Deffo one of my favourite goals, that.

The handball was well outside the box as well

Was at that Arsenal game too. It felt like lift off for the Rafa era.

My favourite game. Only 10 at the time but remember it like it was yesterday

Auxerre 3:0. Can't say for sure if its the favourite match, probably Barca 4:0 is now. But it was the first season after the ban and the first great European  comeback that I had watched
