Árni Arason was the keeper against Spurs. That double save was one of the best I've ever seen.

Have we ever seen it in the 'TOP TWENTY SAVES OF THE PL ERA? No? I didn't think Sky have it listed!

Was as good in its own way as the Joe Corrigan one at Leeds but I'm sure sky would use the it's a cup game/not there footage (was it BBC/itv?) Or any other reason.

Sky have come up with at least fifty comebacks that were better in the last fifteen years - twenty five each for The Dippers and MANUre!

Lol
Everyone knows that was the greatest comeback. Just too many improbables.

But it's an MCFC comeback. It isn't allowed to put 'greatest' in front of anything we do!

I remember that game. I Working in London at the time. Tried getting a ticket and ended up watching the game in a boozer in Croydon on my own. About 6 spurs fans in there giving it out and getting giddy . When they realised I was a blue they gave me a load of shit, one in particular was a right gobby ****. 3-0 down at HT I told them we would win even though I feared we'd get a proper hiding. They all thought it hilarious and ridiculed me further with shit "Your fackin shit ya Manc cant" Amongst other things.

We scored early 2nd half and they still sniped away at me. 3-2 and their cocky arrogance quietened down a little. Bang! Shaunie Wright equalised with a belting goal and I went mental. 4th goal went in and they had all slipped out of the door! Great night and one of the best(if not the best) comebacks i've seen.

Watched it in a bar in nyc and didn't get there till after half time, Distin scored as i went in. No other bugger there but the barman. On the way home an old lady with a bible stopped me and asked "can i tell you about a miracle?" I said no thanks, luv, I've just seen one.

What a game
Was in the home end, the spuds fans didn't enjoy the second half too much.

HUGE save from Arni

I watched this in a boozer with three mates - we all went mental celebratingwhen Macken scored, but one mate went more mental than ever - it felt like it took me a few hours to remove his gentleman sausage from my marmite bagel!!!!

Bloody great come back!

15 years?! Christ, that's made me feel old. What a game that was though. One of my favourite City games of all time. Incredible second half performance.

Then we fucked up vs the rags in the next round
And we squandered loads of chances

Wow 15 years. I watched it in the beehive in whitefield, jokingly texted my girlfriend at half time saying we was gonna win 4-3, little did I know what was to happen.
I remember going completely insane when macken scored and the rest of the vault lost it too.
Great memories.
