TBW Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Genuinely intrigued at which game people see as the better or bigger of the two and why? I can't remember the Liverpool game as I was so young but will the United game go down in history like the Liverpool one has done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 cos I was there. I remember listening to Liverpool game on the radio and fell off the sofa when we scored. Was truly amazing but last year was incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One BCFC Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 A 90th minute Winner against world class players or against a pretty average Liverpool side by their standards. Most of their stars in 1994 were on decline bar Fowler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Good question, I honestly can't say. It's almost like another lifetime football has changed so much. I start to lean towards the L'pool game as it was on their own patch and we deserved it over 2 1/2 games, but as above , ManU was against hundreds of millions of ££'s worth of players at a time you don't get many upsets against full squads. Plus L'pool was a full day on the piss and ManU was on a school night..... still can't choose. I do hate ManU slightly more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original OTIB Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Went to both but Liverpool for me, on tbe road, young (ish) and with a load of mates. Could not speak the next day. That was singing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 I was 16 at the time of Liverpool game and in the middle of mock GCSEs. Day before the game at Anfield, the head of year called me in and said “I’ve heard you’re not planning to be in school tomorrow”. I responded “Yes. I’m going to football, I could lie and say I was ill but what would you rather?” For the blind cheek of it she told me I was fine to have the absence. That goodwill soon lessened when I told her about 15 of the rest of the year were going too. And by the time Stockport rolled around it was exhausted.... Anyhow, Man Utd for me. Just because my daughter was there and the look on her face (in a good way as she’s a city fan) was priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobintheRed Red Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Had a fall out with the Mrs as she saw me next evening say on H.t.v news it was the best night of my life after the Liverpool away tie she said I thought having the kids or getting married would be the best day of your life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 It was soon after the Liverpool game that Grobbelaar got done for match fixing. Take a close look at some of his "decision making" in our game and tell me a top class keeper had an off night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Real tough one. I didn't go to the Liverpool game sadly, I was only 9 but hearing it on radio - unbelievable. But going to school next day with Liverpool fans there - so good. And we outplayed them too. The Man U game we were equal but not the better side. Thing is Man U game was amazing but winning away at Anfield was slightly the better I think as Man U regularly do poorly away (and home) in the league cup (MK Dons anyone?) so I think the Liverpool one is better.

Bar BS3 Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Winning at Angield was Magic, I’ll never forget being there, on the night of my 15th birthday. Man Utd felt even more special because I detest them and never thought I’d see us beat them. Plus the drama in the way we did it. I can’t vote for a favourite of the 2, but will cherish the memory of both for as long as I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 I was at both games and can't choose. The game at Anfield was wonderful in so many ways - it was great to visit a famous old stadium (with the Kop still a terrace) and see City win there. I was fully expecting a heavy defeat (City were pretty crap at the time) and was pleased to go in at HT still level. When Tinnion scored it was pandemonium in the away end and as the 2nd half wore on I became more nervous as a famous win got closer. The scenes at the final whistle were memorable and the journey home on a CATs coach seemed to go by in the blink of an eye. The Manchester victory was equally superb - mainly because we scored the winner so late but also because my kids were there to see it. The celebrations when Korey scored were up there with the best I have seen at AG. It also felt like the first real landmark game in the re-built ground.

Midlands Robin Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 I've gone for Man Utd. Mainly because I'd been having chemotherapy for Lymphoma. My specialist advised against going, the wife and I had something of a lively discussion about me going but I'm so glad I was there. Almost 12 months on and so far I'm all clear and the memory of that game will live long. For the Liverpool game, I'd been in the Navy about 6 months and was on an exercise in mid wales. I only found out the result the following day. No mobile phones in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider-manc Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 i grew up in a small town in the midlands where all the kids supported manchester united because they were winning every year.... And for some reason they gave me grief for supporting Bristol City. Id waited 25 years for the chance to beat them.... And don't they ******* know it now!

It was either after this game or one of the cup ties vs Everton around that time....Junior once hit me in the face with the ball TWICE with two ‘efforts’ in one game vs WBA - and I wasn’t sat very near to the goal!

sglosbcfc Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Liverpool match for me, because the FA Cup is bigger than the League Cup and because in 1994 clubs still went all out in cup competitions. Also it was an away game and Liverpool couldn't beat us over 'three' matches. Let's be honest though they were both very, very special nights.

BS4 on Tour... Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Just to put a (slight) dampener on it, we took more fans to Anfield in 1994 than we had at our previous home game when we lost 0-2 to Notts County in front of about 7,500 fans....not much to shout about there....

Blige, there was some shyte in that side. Munro, Bent, Pennyfather, Martin and 'best' of all, Robinson. I normally agree with @BobBobSuperBob but on this occasion I'd part ways with describing the above motley cru as anything but shyte. That's not hindsight, either, we really were (all) saying it at the time. Our away form was crap that season, more than half that side played regularly to relegate us 12 months later and the spectre of Russell Osman being in 'charge' cast a gloom over everything. We scored 13 goals in 19 league games either side of the Liverpool games. It was fkng dire! 7,000 at home vs Tony Agana's Notts in January; 6,000 at home to Joey Beauchamp's Oxford in March; 5,000 at home to Clive Mendonca's Grimsbo in April! Slipping to 5,350 vs Luton (h) a fortnight later - people voted with their feet. And their arses. Which other season have we booed the scorer of our goal simply because he was deplorably stale with awful, awful hair? Dire football, and anyone who says different thinks differently to me. Winning 1-0 at Anfield, vs a relatively crap Liverpool or not, with 8000 in the away end and down the side...hands down that's a winner over Man U every day of the week. Good bloody job we won, too - we drove there and back from Portsmouth on the day/night. Current topic of convo is that this season is the worst since.... Bollox is it. I give you the Russell 0-0sman* years. (* I reluctantly credit my brother, MoP, with that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miser Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Sad fact of life - it's better when your young - so it's Liverpool for me. Was there in 76 v Portsmouth - magical, hope to get back before I'm decrepit, but it won't be the same.

It still didn’t help Junior Bent, he should of least had a hat trick that night. in answer to the question, Liverpool game for me, the best day/night of my footballing life.
