Our biggest ever game?

[george22]

Reading the thread it seems it's relative to your definition of big....
Its the most prestigious, at the moment,
but probably won't have much lasting impact in the future. Unless it turns out to be some sort of catalyst to win the CL.

Newcastle away. Bigger is every way, because it involved a direct rival and more than one team in the equation.

People forget, Newcastle were also going for a Champions League place.

Without Newcastle, there is nothing. No QPR, there is no Sergio moment.

I cocour with this fine young gentleman.

Cocour?
Is that French for something?

May be not the biggest in our history but perhaps the biggest (currently) for our future.

Had nervous shits all day for the United semi, Stoke final, 1-0 Derby, Newcastle game and QPR - nothing today.

Yeah. I'm sure I'll be devastated if we don't go through, especially if it's in close or controversial fashion, but don't have the nerves as much as those games you said above. If only because I think ahead and see us as overwhelming favourites in ties like these after this year.

Being invited back to the dance is way more important imo.

I think this post puts the game perfectly into context. I too don't have many nerves. I'm excited for it, would love us to qualify (and think we will) but equally don't see it as a huge disappointment if we don't whereas not winning the league or a cup final or losing to the rags would be. Weirdly, the semi final will be a proper shit yer pants sesh mind - with the final looming.

I don't see us winning the competition, so losing tonight wouldn't be the end of the World, so in my book, this is a 'big game', but biggest ever? Nowhere near it.

It's not even our biggest game in Europe ever.

I wouldn't rate it as high as FA Cup finals, our ECWC final, or any title run-in games.

I've had sleepless nights for some of those games, even felt sick for the FA Cup semi against the Rags but I'm feeling calm right now.
