Your Best game at OT?

[Henke]

only been twice and was lucky enough to see united beat man city 4-2 fa cup couple of years ago atmosphere was class but best game even though celtic got beat was keanes test amazin atmosphere everywhere we went got a great reception

[Scott]

I have a few favourites.

- When we beat Arsenal 6-1. Aside from being amazing to see us completely batter Arsenal, and meaning we went a massive 16 points clear of them, it was just an entertaining and exciting game. Going a goal up after a couple of minutes, only for them to equalise a few minutes later..... and then just thrashing them lol.

- When we beat Chelsea 1-0 last season. I sat in my seat before that game nervous as hell, for the game, as well as the fans reaction. The fans had just been booing the team a week or so earlier, and I cant tollerate that. But from the moment the first whistle blew to the end of the game, the atmosphere was fucking amazing. I really cant remember another game like it. I was stood for 90 minutes, singing, shouting, and everyone around me was doing the same. For the last 5 minutes, I was just waiting for Chelsea to score, knew that would be our luck. The final whistle blew and the whole of Old Trafford stopped biting their nails and started chanting "EASEH! EASEH!" which was particularly satisfying for me...as I was sat in the same seat on the last game of last season when it was the Chelsea fans chanting that at us!

- When we drew with Juve 1-1 the year we won the Treble. Semi final, Giggs equalises in the last minute. This is a favourite because it was a semi final in the year we won the Treble, lol, and preceded United's best game in Europe, imo.

Hmm, I'll have to draw a line there I think. Though of course I've seen us beat Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Leeds, which all have to go in to a top 10 lol.

either the chelsea game, with that booing or when we beat madrid in 2003 when becks scored 2, ronaldo scored a hat trick

[mancunian]

I have seen so many over the years I've probably averaged close to 30 odd games a season at home alone for 35 seasons or more. and that doesn't include youth or reserve games which have often eclipsed the first team.

I'd probably go for United 3 Barca 0 and Robbo out playing Maradona, fantastic atmosphere. In fact most of the greatest games have been in European nightas at OT with the smells of Trafford Park filling the atmospherre.

Too many games to say, 6-1 vs. the Goonerz, 1-0 Liverpool, Rooney's debut, Ronaldo's debut, 4-2 Man City (Valentine's Day 2004, I think it was 2004 anyway!)...there's loads of great games at OT, I've been too...but they are a few of them!

[Dizzy]

Maybe, England Vs Greece when Becks got that last minute freekick to get us through to the world cup.

[redarmy]

united 4-3 madrid, we saw Ronaldo at the peak of his power. 6-1 vs the cockneys, 3-3 vs Barcelona in the champions league, 2-1 fa cup win over the dippers in '99.

United 4 Real 3. Although we got knocked out of the champions league that night it was one of the best nights of football i've ever seen. Ronaldo (the former) was outstanding that night and totally deserved the standing ovation he got from the WHOLE of old trafford! Never seen that before or since but it was awesome to be there!
I'll also always remember my first ever game at old trafford on november 30th 1996. Walking out into the ground with a sharp intake of breath at the size of it! Ahh the memories!

[schmeichel1]

Has to be Man Utd 9-0 Ipswich...utter destruction!

As i remember, Andy Cole scored FIVE!!

[redseven]

seeing phil neville play viera off the park in the same seaon will always stick in my mind

that goal was brilliant, everyone thought we messed up then great ball in be veron and forlan scored

remember when diego couldnt get his shirt on against soton lol

[stretfordend99]

My favorite was Rooney's home debut against Fenerbache.... we gave them a thumpin...sorry Rooney gave them a thumpin. Only drawback was that i was sat in the North Stand at the back of tier two... had to wear my glasses. Still couldnt miss that free-kick he scored, superb.

I've seen better games, but that for me had sentimental value.. i remember saying he was goin to be a legend like over and over to my mate down Sir Matt Busby Way.

[2olegend]

theres fucking loads that stick out, i cant be arsed reminising about them all so i'll just name a few of my faves...

the 6-1 against arsenal sticks out.
the 2-2 with liverpool in the 1995-1996 sticks out coz it was eric's return.
the 2-1 against liverpool in the FA Cup 1999.
the 3-3 with barca same year.
18th august 1993...a date which probably means little to most of you...other than the charity shield a week before, this was my first proper united game and the first time id been to OT! i was 6 and we beat Sheffield United 3-0 Keano scored twice and Hughesy bagged the other!
Beating City 2-1 at OT in the 1995-1996 season
and my fave (maybe)...thumping City 5-0 at OT in the 1994-1995 season...cantona, hughes and a kanchelskis hat trick.

just a few of my faves there!
