It's 2012 of course but there were times during both games that I loved and hated City with a passion I'm not sure I've had for my missus ;)

4!Maybe it was objectively a better achievement in that villa were a better team wasn't down to 10 men and was winning 2-0 but despite an unbelievable 5 minutes it's not aguero, those circumstances were highly unique and simply cannot be replicated. No reason to compare though, its a phenomenal comeback without needing to rate it compared to 93.20.
The jesus last kick for 100 points always gets overlooked, different situation to the other two but for anybody that was at Southampton, they'll tell you how crazy those scenes were at the end there too, we've had 3 of these moments now.

Could care less what was better, they're both our moments in history that's all that matters.

Good argument for both. To score 3 goals in 6 mins against a good Villa side is just mental and quite astounding. Dont forget we saved football for everyone today and with it we got our 6th title. The first will never ever be forgotten for pure drama but think today was even more amazing considering the situation at 75 mins and the fact the dippers scored two late goals.

The 2012 narrative will never be beaten for City fans of my generation (the 44 yrs of hurt generation!).
Before the game, it was going to be a routine win and maybe QPR would go down depending on results elsewhere.
At 89 minutes, we were losing, United had won the League and QPR had saved themselves.
At 90 minutes, we had tied the game, QPR learned they were staying up, but we were still losing the League to United.
By 93:21, we were winning the League, pipping United on Goal Difference…from the 6-1 game at their place…QPR were staying up due to other results and we were breaking a 44 year hoodoo (for which we were constantly taunted by United fans and their club) at their expense! The goal was scored by our new signing in his first season, who would go on to be the best striker the club has ever known, breaking scoring records galore, and changing the entire ’istree of the club with his goal.
NOTHING will ever compare to that day...even though today tried hard!
When the second goal went in, we still had 10 mins to get a winner. To get it within 2 minutes was simply ridiculous, and while the 0-2 deficit to 3-2 victory was greater than 2012, 2012 was still an iconic, era defining, ’istree making moment in time.
This is how it feels to be City…

Nothing beats 2012 for me.
Argument being it's our first and can be said to be the most important. We weren't the 'giants' of the league, it was United, and as a team we had to overcome that. And we did it with the last kick of the game.
Both excellent moments in our history of course, just for me, 2012 is that extra special.

I was right behind the goal second row, it went mental!

Better come back was 2022. It was 0-2, we needed three goals.
2012 was a more dramatic finish with it being pretty much the last kick of the game.

Both amazing, both boiled the piss of red shirts, both clinched the Premier league title, both are historic, aguero by a country mile
Agree with this, 2012 was better in terms of sheer moment but today was harder.
We were 2 goals down today with 20 mins left and won needing 3. 2012 it was 2 goals to come back but ended up doing it later.
If we are going by technicalities, we didn't 'need' the 3 goals before scoring them 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 third.
For me, From a purely footballing tecnical side, today was better. As an overall experience in context however, 2012 tops it. ONLY just.
