Impeccable or 6-1?

[Lucky Toma]

The weird thing for me was that immediately after the 6-1 I didnt feel as I would have expected (if I'd known beforehand). There was obviously huge elation to the point where I was physically shivering but the over-riding sensation for me was far far far more satisfying - I could literally feel all of the past hurt just dissipate from me. As if it was steam leaving my body.
Probably sounds bollocks but thats how it felt for me. Like in a film where a ghost steps out of a living person.
Then the ghost just vanished forever.

So for me the 6-1 deffo.

The 2-1 was great due to the occasion, and the fact that they probably had to get rid of at least 50,000 DVD boxes that were already printed about beating us in the memorial game.

However, 6-1 at the Swamp! I'm afraid nothing will even come close to it - even beating them 1-0 in the semi-final. 6-1 - I was fucking delirious, and the Rag steward stood right next to me was telling me that they always get a thumping in Oct - yeh right, 6-1 to ickle City though? Still watch the highlights on the OS, especially the editors cut.

Toughie. I was at the 6-1 but in Wales for the impeccable one. Personally, I'd go for the impeccable one. The knives were out and everyone was ready to nail us for what seemed like inevitable munich chants and a ruined minutes silence. I was dreading us ruining the silence but had a feeling that we would and then they'd smash us by something really embarrassing like SIX. The build up and the pressure coming up to the minutes silence was unbearable and whe it came around I just sat there open mouthed. It was special. And then we went out with a load of donkeys and against all odds smashed the likes of ferdinand, herman and ronaldo on their own patch, on their own day. Unbelievable. I watched it recently on ESPN and had a tear in my eye

Maybe if we'd gone 6-1 up a bit earlier then calmed the game down so we coulda rubbed their faces in it with a few songs and ole's I'd have gone for the 6-1, or maybe in the future everyone will look back on the 6-1 as the day the tide finally turned and I'll change my mind? Who knows.

The 6-1 by an absolute mile.

Let's not forget they had won something like 19 in a row at home in the league. To go there and smash them 6-1 is amazing.

The Munich Memorial was brilliant, but the 6-1 was on another level.

 

[Chris in London]

For some time, most of our wins over the rags have been memorable for some reason or other - the 5-1, the last Maine Road, the first COMS, the Munich memorial, the first Manchester derby at Wembley and of course now the 6-1. There aren't actually many Derby wins in the last 20 years or so that aren't in that list.

But a few people have said that the 6-1 looks like it really marks a shift in power, a real turning point. I think that's right, and while beating them will always be special - made more so because they and their fans have generally been such a bunch of cunts over that period - I think in the future 2-0 and 3-1 wins over them aren't going to stand out as much.

But for me, the 6-1 wasn't a win, this was us giving them a real twatting in front of their own scummy fans. We have humiliated them in a way they never did to us even when we were at our lowest and weakest points. And just to put the icing on the cake, it was their heaviest defeat at home since....


...... the last time we twatted them 6-1.

The Joy of Six.

I'd never thought of it like that. Mint.

The 6-1 for me, as the feeling of joy at 5-1 was the same as hearing the final score from the Jubilee. (I don't go to the swamp any more and we've won 2/3 since then.) Putting another goal in after that just made the whole thing way beyond good and firmly into the realms of bloody hilarious.

The 6.1 for me but if you had put it up against the semi final win it would have been a harder choice.

 

[M18CTID]

I'd have to say both.

The 2-1 was a huge result because I witnessed something that I'd partially resigned myself to never seeing us do - winning at The Swamp. And I certainly never expected us to do it on that particular day - I thought we were in for a proper mullering yet we ripped up the whole script.

The 6-1 was a far more eye-catching scoreline that could end up being far more significant though, and the buzz was every bit as good as the 2-1. I couldn't really enjoy it until the 4th went in though - past experience of United comebacks against us and all that - and the 5th and 6th goals were celebrated in the away end with added exuberance as though they were match-clinching goals in themselves.

I was thinking about this the other day, watching Prem League Years, they dedicated 5+ mins to the build up to the munich game. The script was written, we should've been the losers, whose fans spoiled the silence...but we did EVERYTHING right.
Won't forget the sight of Fergie applauding our fans in a hurry.

This. The 2-1 match made me feel infinitely proud.



...but the 6-1 makes me fucking ecstatic!
