I was at the 7-0 win at Reading and iirc they announced at the end of the game that was the best football they’d ever seen or something similar.

One off game Madrid at home
Over all season I don’t think anything will top the 100pts season

Birmingham away in the Keegan season in the Championship. Benarbia had joined us. I was lucky to be in amongst the Brum fans (stayed very quiet). It was the first time I'd seen us play such good football. A Brum fan sitting next to me said to his mate 'we're at least 5 years away from this lot' and he made a few comments about how good we were. Still think about that game.
Oh, and Madrid at home.......

It was fantastic. They said we were the best team in the land as I recall.

Was at Elm Park for the 7-0,56 years ago F sake.
We are proper old. FOC and proud!
In the 100pts season we played wonderful football against weaker teams but weren't exceptional vs the very best. In contrast, in the Treble season we destroyed in 5-6 weeks Real, Bayern, Arsenal and Liverpool by 3-4 goals, playing our best football ever. In terms of top performances against the top clubs it's the Treble season.One off game Madrid at home

The 2 games of CL round of 16 against Eintracht Frankfurt..
That was the moment most of us or me atleast saw what Pep wanted in terms of "control". They almost never had the ball.. we suffocated them over 2 legs even though the aggregate score was only 4-0 (2-0 both games).
It was that game when I firmly believed Pep could win a CL here.. because the CL was rigged against us and unless we won 5-0 the other teams would get chances and calls that pissed us off like the hand ball by Llorente.. the phantom offside vs Liverpool.. the phantom dive by Aguero vs Monaco.. the no foul on Laporte leading to Lyon's 3rd goal..
But if the other team doesn't even have the ball.. what can they do to hurt us?? That was the moment it clicked and it got better and better and we got to the Real Madrid 1st half performance.
Go back and look at it again.. you'll see exactly what I mean from that game..

The KK season in the Championship has to be up there. Yes; it was a lower level than where we're operating now. But that's where we were back then. That season was a pure joy to experience.

I always think back to Leeds away on 271276. Won 2-0 and dominated them so much that I really thought we were going to win the league that season.

Still think the centurion season was the best overall.
Went into every game barely even doubting we’d win.

Good shout! Was that the game Ali did that outrageous back flick for goater to volley home? Or was that v Wednesday? I loved kevs city side....I thought that was going to be as good as we would ever get in my lifetime! What a signing Ali was! Shame he wasn't 6 years younger when we got him hey!Birmingham away in the Keegan season in the Championship. Benarbia had joined us. I was lucky to be in amongst the Brum fans (stayed very quiet).

The pinnacle for me was the 1st half v madrid. It was the closest thing to perfection I'd ever seen by any side I'd ever seen in my 50 years of breathing on this planet!

Madrid at home is the best single game.
Centurion season was great, before the opposition almost all took to parking the bus big time. The Pep era is definitely the one with the best football within it.

Real Madrid the top.
Chelsea with the De Bruyne winner was superb. Big (very big) Chelsea fan got on the coach after the match and I thought trouble here. He just clapped us and said best performance he’d ever witnessed. Top bloke.
Shout outs for first half v. AC Milan, 3-0 up at half time and also 1970 second leg v Schalke.

My lasting memory of that game was a tourist of far east origin making his way to his seat at the 25 minute mark and him looking up at the scoreboard with a very puzzled lookEarly in the 19/20 season
City 8 Watford 0
5-0 up after 18 minutes

The Sane goal was a work of art. They couldn't get near us as we zipped numerous passes around them. 3 exquisite goals.https://www.sofascore.com/football/match/arsenal-manchester-city/rsR#id:7437969,tab:lineups
There were some superb games against Arsenal in the 17-18 time. This game sticks out for sublime football and D. Silva at his glorious best.

I’m going to say either the game v Leeds (Jensen volley) or the game v Burnley at home over the Christmas period during our promotion season under King Kev. Burnley were flying at the time and up there with us and we fucking annihilated them 5-1 and Berkovic was sensational.
