My top5 (only things I saw myself):

1. winning the league @ Anfield 1989
2. 1979 FA Cup Final (first big win)
3. signing Wenger
4. signing Bergkamp
5. unbeaten league season

My dad was a Charlie George fan, so he (CG) & the successes in the early 70 are the reason I'm with Arsenal.

28. How to handle defeat, 1971

On the train back from London after losing to Arsenal in the FA Cup Final, Shankly asked Brian Hall, a university graduate: “Who’s that chairman with the red book.” Hall was bemused. “You know, in China.”

“Mao,” Hall said and Shankly changes the subject. When they arrived in Liverpool, Shankly addressed the crowds waiting outside the Town Hall. After praising their support and behaviour at Wembley, he surveyed the crowd with pride. “Even Chairman Mao has never seen such a display of Red strength,” he crowed. You still wonder why we’d follow him anywhere?

3. In front at half-time against Monaco and cruising it seemed. Oh no, Ranieri has a bad day at the office with his tactics for the 2nd half, and ultimately puts the final nail in his coffin.

2. Going into the 2nd leg with a 1-0 lead against a v good Pool side. Knew we would rue some of those missed chances at SB and it was proven so. Deserved to lose that night, we were 2nd best.

1. Certainly weren't 2nd best in terms of play on this occasion, although we simply couldn't stick the ball in the back of the net. Was it a goal? Who knows.

In my time as a Man United fan between 1991-2003, the best moment was of course signing Juan Veron.

LOL
