The scoreline(s) you've seen and said wow?

Following the Dagenham & Redbridge vs Brentford match last night just got me thinking what is the best game with a sort of similar scoreline or a score you saw on the telly and thought wow I wish I was a that game

I do wish I was at last night game as it sounds like fans got their money's worth I think that game could be on first on the League cup Highlights:o:D

Reading 5-7 Arsenal in the league cup a couple of seasons ago must have been an incredible game to watch live.

Newcastle v Arsenal 4-4

jvilson29 · 13/08/14 - 23:43

Remember coming home from work a couple of years ago and seeing Chelsea 0-3 Sunderland on my TV and thinking wow. If i remember correctly Chelsea were down to 9 men that day though.

Middlesbrough 8 - 1 Man City 2008 (Boro fan) ;-)

Man city at this time were still a top 6 chasing side

henrywilliams58 · 14/08/14 - 00:46

Palace 3 (0) Liverpool 3 (3)

007Fusion · 14/08/14 - 01:54

Tottenham v Wigan Athletic (9-1) : Saw the final few minutes on Sky Sports news and assumed it was the wrong scoreline on display, until the announcer confirmed it.

Arsenal vs Liverpool: Liverpool scoring four times in the first 20 minutes had me ecstatic and dreaming I was there.

henrywilliams58 · 14/08/14 - 03:32

Brazil v Germany of course

Italy 5 - 3 France World Cup 2006 final of course

The one score line I found quite incredible was the Italy 3 - 1 Holland Euro 2000 semi-final score. Holland could have won that game 4:0 quite easily. They played incredible football and failed to score 2 penalties in normal time! Whereas the Italians were clearly the weaker side but held on with some dirty play, hard tackles and general nastiness. A reporter described the game "as beautiful as witnessing a low-riding Lamborghini beached on an ugly speed-bump." Of course I was happy for Italy

Manchester Utd 1-4 Qpr with a Dennis Bailey hat-trick

It was 1991/92 season. Final season before the Premier League,

I remember that game well. It was live on ITV. QPR were superb that day. Mind you, they finished fifth or sixth that season and were the highest finishing London club, and were in the middle of a really good run, so were certainly no mugs.

Man Utd threw away the title that season. It meant that they were still without a title win in 25 years. It would be the following season (and the first year of the Premier League) for them to finally win it again.

mattlamb · 14/08/14 - 07:39

Another really surprising result from that season was Leeds 6 Sheff Wed 1.

Of course, Leeds won the title, but Sheff Wednesday finished third. Sheff Wed were awarded a very dodgy penalty near the beginning of the game (Gordon Watson dived) but were then blown away by Leeds.

That was another game shown live on ITV.

Thanks. Would never have thought it was 23 years ago

I can't say that I've ever thought 'Wow!', whilst watching a fairly standard penalty shoot-out.

United 6-1 Arsenal, in 2001. The first half was just unbelievable.

celesti · 14/08/14 - 09:31

When we won 2-0 at Old Trafford a few years ago in the League Cup, besting the mighty likes of Dong Fangzhou and I dunno, William Prunier or something. That handful of months where Michael Mifsud could do no wrong (but could do lots of offsides) seems like a magical fairytale nowadays.

Sweetlikeheaven · 14/08/14 - 09:31

Remember being at work and then checking the score straight after to see: Tottenham 0 - 5 Liverpool

Shocked would be an understatement

mike65 · 14/08/14 - 10:31

Sadly this era is now largely over as I tend to have flashscore open on match days - no surprises left.

Jason · 14/08/14 - 10:34

i don't know if it made me go 'wow', but it did make me a bit sick

The Spurs/United game where Spurs were 3-0 up at half time and managed to lose 5-3.

You would if your team won the World Cup

That Euro semi final was quite incredible though due to the sheer injustice of it and it was hardly a 'standard' penalty shoot out when a team misses 2 penalties in normal time another 3 in the shootout. It's still the record of most penalties missed in one game. That Dutch team was spectacular and I don't think I have seen them play better since.

Which is all well and good, but the thread title refers to 'scorelines'.

That's all that I meant.

I was out working during the 8-2 game and had to check several different sires and the news when I got home to make sure I wasn't seeing things :0

Watford 7 Southampton 1
League cup.1983

Champions League final 1999. Went for to the ladies at 0-1 and had to queue.

Came out to 2-1 and hubby carrying a stranger round the pub on his shoulders

Yes, I loved both scorelines

and wish I was in the stadium for both (especially 2006 obviously).

Man United 1-6 Man City

I knew City were starting to become a bit of a force at that point, but seeing United leak 6 goals in their own back yard was something of a shocker.

Jason C · 14/08/14 - 14:04

Newcastle 5-0 Man Utd and Southampton 6-3 Man Utd in 1996.
