How can it be, it is only a quarter final in a competition that doesn't want the likes of us winning it.
To win the Premier League in 2012 and break the cartel that was in danger of ruining football in this country was by far and away the most important match in the Clubs history.
Also the manner in which we did it will, in my opinion, never be bettered.

Exactly this. No way could a semi-final beat a cliff-hanger where we either win something important or climb off our death beds. For me:
Newcastle 1968
Gillingham 1999
QPR 2012.
Yup. For the fans, those three, I would think. Hands down. For myself, I'd almost want to say the first. Although the other two are absolutely huge.
For tonight, well, it'd be nice, very nice, if we get through. The world at large is waking up to City, and a victory tonight would help. But we know exactly when we were founded, how long we've been around, etc.
Yep - would agree with that. The derby against United a few games before that was huge too - the world was watching that one. And before that, as others have said, the Semi against United, and, of course Gillingham - which is still in many people's eyes the biggest in our recent history.Not sure if tonight is our biggest, but it's the most important we've had since the QPR game.
Tonight is definitely the biggest since QPR - if we can't get the stadium 'rocking' tonight, not sure when we will! I'm a league over CL man, but this is the most excited I've been for a game in a few seasons.
You can't say with any certainty whatsoever whether we would or we wouldn't. We hardly flew up that season, did we.I think this is urban myth. We would have gone up the following season. My, but it was fun though.
Clubs have shown that if you spend too long down there, it can be a huge struggle to get up again. Obvious example, though slightly different circumstances would be Leeds.
Yeah - we may well have been promoted the following season - but that game was still huge.

So on that basis beating Wigan in the play off semis was massive otherwise there was no Gillingham eh?Makes you laugh when people put up moments that happened prior to actual big moments.
I read above Newcastle away was the biggest, without Newcastle there is no QPR. What a fucking daft way of looking at it. Does that mean the United game is even bigger then because without United there is no Newcastle moment, then no QPR moment? Bollocks.
Anyway Gillingham has got to be seen as the biggest game for me. Saved our club

Actually, been thinking more carefully about it. York away. Simples. We've only ever been on the up since then

That game never happened, I have erased it and the jigging **** from my memoryLuton Town at home was our biggest and we lost it.
Took on a downward spiral that went completely out of control at one point

For the people with that logic then yes
