    As a very young Chelsea fan. 3-0 down to Bolton of Peter Reid, Worthington. Got 4 in last 20 mins: Allardyce socred winner OG.

    Only bit of joy in a miserable season when we got relegated 78/9.

    Also 3-0 down to Cardiff away, scored 3 in last five minutes to get a draw. Spackers pen. Most fans were watching the riot not the football. Season we went up with John Neal

    6/7 years ago - 2-0 down at the Emirates to then come back and win 3-2 with a late Kaboul header.

    10 years ago - 4-1 down against Villa at The Lane, was our 125th anniversary game, ended up drawing 4-4 with the last kick of the game from Kaboul (think he liked last minute goals!).

    This season - 2-1 down at The Lane against West Ham, 89 minutes on the clock and then we score twice in quick succession to make it 3-2. Broke their hearts, loved it.

    Best I ever witnessed live was of course the two last minute goals against Bayern in the 99 champions league final.

    For 85 minutes it was a **** game, for the final two it was the best ever.

    The comeback in the semi v Juventus was even better though really.

    Coming back from three nil down at Spurs to win five three was good but, as Fergie said, "lads, it's ****ing Spurs"









    *the last bit might not be 100% factually correct*

    Probably was correct, we crumbled 99% of the time against a Fergie Utd.

    He did say it at some point, I'm just not sure he said '****ing'.

    Wasn't that game.

    This is Roy Keane describing it;

    “I thought I knew what the group might need, that we didn’t need a big team talk,” said Keane. “It was Tottenham at home. I thought please don’t go on about Tottenham, we all know what Tottenham is about, they are nice and tidy but we’ll ****ing do them.

    He came in and said: ‘Lads, it’s Tottenham’, and that was it. Brilliant.”

    Ours is obvious, CL Final. It's a pity we didn't add to it in the 2nd game though when they were there for the taking.

    The most frustrating but joyful games were against Preston at home in the FA Cup played on a Wednesday night coasting 2-0 when the floodlights failed. The game was rescheduled for Monday afternoon we were 1-0 down after 15 minutes to an Ingram goal.....he also rattled the bar in the last five minutes. We scored two goals in the last minute through Cooke & Webb. Preston restarted the game and the whistle went......phew!

    Ps got the sack for taking time off without permission but it was a **** job and done me a great favour.

    Way before my time but we drew 5-5 at home to Newcastle from being 0-4 at half-time.

    Also about 20 years ago came from 4-0 at half time and 4-1 with about ten minutes to go to draw 4-4.

    Also managed to lose 4-0 away in the second leg of a European tie after beating Partizan Belgrade 6-2 at home (at Highbury).

    And the season we beat them at OT, Fergie decided that was the season to retire
    (smart guy he was) .

    When you're losing at home to Arsenal in big games you know you're past it.

    Newcastle would have to mention their 4-4 versus Arsenal. Tiote got the equaliser as I recall - 4-0 at half time.

    4-2 down against Bradford, ref turned down 3 penalties (of which 2 were blatant) and, after the third, Di Canio demanded to be subbed off, the UP crowd started singing his name and that was it, he got up and turned the game around (after fighting Lampard for the ball when the ref decided to actually give a penalty), we came back and won 5-4.

    I only knew because it was pretty much spelled out in the OP. Never heard of it myself.

    By the way, I wouldn't normally do this but, it's God.

    You'll burn in hell.
