[spanishdave]

what is the best match you have ever witnessed? includes tv and in person...

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Yugoslavia V Spain in Euro 2000 was an amazing match

That's the one that immediately springs to mind for me, too.

Neither would be an Albion game I'm afraid. TV - the Everton-Liverpool game in the FA Cup that finished 4-4 the round after Liverpool had only just knocked us out, and the two Liverpool-Newcastle games which finished 4-3 to Liverpool (I think both games did, didn't they?), with the first marginally the better. Live - has to be Fulham's comeback against Juventus in the UEFA Cup. 3-1 down from the away leg, they conceded again shortly into the game. Amazing game after that, as Fulham, complete with Bobby Zamora, who had a storming game that night, absolutely battered Juventus. True, Cannavaro got sent off, but that is not to take away from Fulham's performance. Several Albion games come close though, especially the two FA Cup games against Liverpool.

Tv England v Germany 4-2 1966.
Live Brighton v Doncaster 2-1 2011 - I knew we'd finally come home

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Live Brighton v Doncaster 2-1 2011 - I knew we'd finally come home

Ah yes, that would have to be up there with my all time greats and certainly for significance and emotion, though for sheer excitement Fulham-Juventus just beats it. From a personal point of view, Albion-Chesterfield stands out, as it was the first time I'd ever seen us win something. Funnily enough, with the England World Cup win I watched a video that my Dad recorded for me (I think BBC2 did it as a history thing). Up to that point I only knew that England had won the cup once - I didn't know about the 4-2 scoreline, Hurst hattrick or the dodgy (or not as the case may be) Russian linesman.

in fairness I'd just graduated and was somewhat tipsy, but THAT was one helluva game

 

[Weretheweststand]

TV - Man City vs QPR 2012 - That comeback was incredible, I don't even like them and I was still jumping around my front room when they scored.

Live - Home vs Donny 2011 - Do I even need to explain? It was magical.

 

[countryman]

The home match against Burnley when we had two players sent off in the first 15 minutes in 2011.

What game did you watch, it was 1-5
