Better comeback 2012 v 2022

[Oystercatcher28]

It is a credit to the club and the spirit of Typical City, that the question has been raised. This Cityitis and the do things the hard way, it's deeper than our bloody DNA. The Hadron Collider has found the God particle, and it's sky blue with a maroon trim. Bloody 'ell.

2012. Nothing will ever come close.

2012. This literally came pretty close though.

If we are going by technicalities, we didn't 'need' the 3 goals today. We were at no point behind liverpool in the table, even at 2-0 down, we were still top. They didn't score their second till after we were 3-2 up. In 2012, it was all over for us, even after Dzeko's equaliser. Till that second.


For me, From a purely footballing tecnical side, today was better. As an overall experience in context however, 2012 tops it. ONLY just.

We always needed to win

Can wait for 2032
We’ll come from 3 goals down to win it on the last day

Bookmarked :)

2012 has become more significant since as it signalled the very beginning of United's decline, which is delightfully still continuing to this day.

Would be good if yesterday did the same for the scousers...

First title in 44 years, injury time, Agueroooo moment etc 11/12 is impossible to top. However, we absolutely battered QPR that day and frig knows how we ever ended up behind.

Yesterday, we were absolutely dogshit for 75mins. The game was over and we never looked like we had it in us to get back into it.

In terms of what it meant to fans 11/12 over 21/22. Comeback wise 21/22 over 11/12 because we were dead and buried yesterday.

2012 will always win due to the lack of time but fook me that runs it as close as you would want. As Vinnie said never again that way!!

At no point yesterday were the dippers top in the 'as it stands' table. In 2012 the rags were celebrating winning it after their game finished and then.

Yesterday was concerning at 2-0 and with the way we were playing. Villa are a better team than QPR were, but we're a better team than we were in 2012 and there was belief because we've done it before. Scoring three in five minutes was mad, but there was another 10 minutes or so to have got them if need be.

2012 was the ending that would have been far fetched and yet predictable in a film. To do it in real time was ridiculous and will probably never be repeated in the PL.

Was it better than '99 though...

yesterday would have been if all three goals were in the last 5 minutes

I voted for 2012 because of its importance to the club. Yesterday was special though as we were there in that unbelievable atmosphere. It was like a mighty beast had awaken when Gundo scored the first. I’m sure that roar helped the team score 2 and 3. What an unbelievable day.
