What was more important?

[urban genie]

Losing the league to United in that fashion would've left a deep and permanent scar on the club that would've never healed so it's Aguero without question for me. No melodrama here it would've been genuinely horrific. We were without doubt the best team in the league that season so imagine trying to swallow a defeat like that to them in that manner. From 80 minutes on all I could think of was the crowing and pisstaking that would follow and it was a deeply, deeply unpleasant prospect. Look at the fallout from Gerrard's slip and times that by two at least, I shudder just thinking about it.

Aguero saved us from a fate worse than death and simultaneously brought global recognition for the club in producing one of the greatest moments in the history of sport

Yeah but the club and most if not all fans would have gotten over not winning the league pretty quickly, we had the mentality and resourses to manage that set back
Not winning the play offs that we wouldn't have recovered from, we were sjint, our better players wpuld robably have gone in the next pre-season and perpetually seasonsin the lower leagues beckoned without that win.

We wouldn't hve even been in the posisition to have the QPR game withòut horlocks and dikovs goals.

Whichever goal got Alan fucking Ball the sack.

Different eras, goals that had different meanings but I firmly believe without one you don’t get the other. We could’ve rotted on that league had Dickov not scored that goal.

Most important though? Dzeko’s, because without that, Aguero’s means the square root of jack shit.

Mike Sheron at Stoke IIRC? Kind of fitting that it was an ex-City player!

Thanks

I don’t understand the fuss. Neither goal was ever in doubt.

Have to disagree there, the psychological damage from losing to QPR would've brought huge uncertainty and doubt in the following seasons.

You mean like how Utd won the league the next year after losing it to the Aguero moment?

 

[MarsLlama]

We'd have won the league within the next three seasons anyway. We couldn't have been promoted in the first place without Dickov's.

What about Zaba’s goal in the same game?

We were winning the league with that goal. With Dzeko’s we were losing it but with just one more needed. His goal gets criminally overlooked imo, for obvious reasons of course.
