Its embarrasing the press are salivating over yesterdays win, city created their own problems by their terrible defending against a championship side then got out of jail. <BR><BR>In 1989 we went to anfield 3 points behind the champions, needed to win and did it with the last kick of the game. City did the same, yes it was dramatic but to compare it with 1989 is seriously insultive. I expect nothing else from sky/the sun etc.
I think the fact it was the top 2 on the night makes our better.
And the fact that no-one gave us much of a chance (as opposed to City who were odds on favourites to see off QPR with ease).
And we didn't need to spend a billion pounds to do it.
In brief: us
i was thinking the same thing about the two and the city game edges it.
They need to keep pushing their product so next season will be even more "sensational" and the one after that will be "out of this world bob"
It's all bullshit. Anfield 1989 could never be topped. As you say, 1989 is the underdogs doing what was assumed to be impossible, 2012 is a foregone conclusion almost fucked up. Nothing is similar.

Not trying to WUM here but why shouldn't it be compared with 89?
Strip everything away, the fact it was City, Sky etc. It was a pretty dramatic footballing moment, titles are very rarely decided like that.
It should be compared but in the comparison ours is better IMO for the reasons I've given above.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars

Off course it can be compared with 89, it wasnt far behind and in sporting terms was spectacular. But to say it tops 1989 is frankly insultive. Most football fans are soo blinkered they dont understand our game was thriving pre sky. When sky sports started covering football in england they subjected us to the shamen and sonia at half time ! Fortunately they have refined and improved their offering sinceNot trying to WUM here but why shouldn't it be compared with 89?

i was at anfield to see us win that game and it absolutely blew my mind we managed to do it. in terms of pure theatre, yesterday somehow managed to top that.
It was worth waiting for.
I'm fine thanks. Hope you're well
