    Newcastle involved in 3 of the 10 best games of the last 20 years voted by sky! Man U 5-0, Lpool 4-3, and Arsenal 4-4. Which one's your favourite?

    Arsenal 4-4 by far. I wasn't at the first two but have seen them both. For sheer impossibility and drama, it has to be Arsenal.

    Was too young to remember the first two properly.

    4-4 for me. The 5-0 over Man Utd, I bet, was amazing atmosphere, the 4-3 against Liverpool would be amazing for neutral's.

    4-4 though.... come on... 4-0 down to Arsenal, and a late 4 goal come back, and the most spine chilling moment of all time when Tiote scored.

    If only Fat Kev hadn't dragged that ****ing shot wide we would have won it, now THAT would have been incredible. If that game didn't get top spot though it's an abomination.

    I'd personally still go for the Man U game, yes the 4-4 was an amazing comeback but beating IMO the greatest team to ever play in the premier league 5-0.. in the manner that we did it.. Absolutely Glorious ;)

    5-0 Over Man U closely followed by the 4-4!

    Although coming back from 4-0 down is amazing, Its very rare to see Man U get dominated like that!

    I think that result meant more to us than the rest of the league.

    The manner in which that 5-0 that you handed United was unbelievable. Only 2 months earlier we had pounded you 4-0 at Wembley to embarrass your new Marquee £15m signing on his debut for the club. We then went and let Southampton put another 6 past us the following week (Fergie blamed our dodgy grey shirts at the time, not being able to see each other!). It was probably your greatest game to be fair, it was Kevin Keegan's Newcastle wrapped up into 90 minutes of pure entertaining football, for which we have exerted revenge almost every time, ever since up until this year! To be fair, you were putting 3/4 (7 in Spurs case, jeez how many times have I watched 96/97 Premier League years on Sky?) past near enough every team that season.

    The greatest game of all time in the Premier League for me was United's 4-3 over City with Owen winning it in Fergie time, or when we put 9 past the Tractor Boys.

    Cantona's chip against Sunderland is the greatest goal as well, nobody gets close to the absolute genius in that goal (maybe Bergkamp vs Newcastle!) but comparing Di Canio's scissor kick or even Rooney's overhead to Cantona's chip is ridiculous, it was a different planet.

    You can have Shearer though as the best striker, can't argue with facts, not even Henry can do that.

    Scholes greatest player in EPL History - non-debatable, sorry.
