Difficult one for us United fans. So many great moments.
If you could relive one Premier League moment, what would it be?
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
John O'Shea's winner at Anfield.
That goal had everything going against it until it went in.

For United? Sp, so many. RVP's volley to take us to 20 was great, but we weren't as good in 2013 as 2008, 1999 etc.
Maybe this comeback to win the league in 1999?
Imagine this being your highlight?

The 4-2 against Arsenal at Highbury in 2005. That match had everything ! Lovely chip from O'Shea to top off a great performance and to silence Highbury. What a game
4-3 v City or macheda v Villa
Macheda vs Villa
MACHEDAAAAAAA
No moment in my time of watching the PL has given me chills like that goal did

Yeah this.
Giggs equaliser at Highbury in 2003. We were on the charge catching Arsenal, they were in the lead through a fantastically offside goal and when Giggs scored you just knew that we had the wind behind us and would win the league.
Rewatching the goals just now, it occurs to me that both goals were from a simple side-footed, along-the-ground pass from Giggs.
Arsenal at home when we finished the unbeaten run
The whole game or only Rooney's dive ?
Gooners are still crying over that match
no dive...stupid lazy tackle. If my defender stuck out a lazy leg like that while being caught flat footed I would lose it on himThe whole game or only Rooney's dive ?

The whole game I assume they meant, including the blatant penalty that should have been given to Ronaldo for a foul by Ashley Cole but was somehow ignored by the officials
Probably Cole vs Spurs.
Macheda and Bruce are close though.

United 3 - Blackburn 1, May 3rd 1993. The treble was once in a lifetime and nothing will ever beat that, but talking Premier League only nothing has come close to the feeling going to the game and then during the game. 26 years of pent up frustration and despair lifted from everyone's shoulders and for many the first time we'd ever seen United as champions. We've won the title countless times since, but none have matched the first one and the more we did win it the less special they became. Now we've had a big gap the next one will be right up with the best of them.
Slippy G doing his bambi on ice skates move to cost them the title
The slip.
EDIT: Beaten to it by seconds

Bruce's landmark headed double and 96th minute winner against Sheffield Wednesday to basically land the title in 93, that gave me every bit of satisfaction as The SlipThe slip.

Fergie and Kidds celebration at the end says it all

Macheda
Though I can still remember exactly what it was like, being in the stand, watching it go in and pandemonium breaking out.

Diego Forlan's extra time winner against Chelsea at OT, top corner.
Two headers from Steve Bruce late on in 1993, Fergie and Kidd on the pitch.

So many to choose from but I’ll throw 8-2 vs Arsenal in the ring as no one has put that yet.
Macheda.
Outside of the PL probably Giggs against Arsenal in the FA Cup or those last few minutes against Bayern in 99.

The moment Villa lost to Oldham in May 93 and handed us our first title in 26 years. I don't think anything has topped that feeling.
This ! Sky where showing the full 90 minutes earlier.
Macheda for sure.
Martial vs Scouse was pretty special too.

The first time we won the league in countless years.
Newcastle 0-1 United
Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle
Both in 1995/96.
Actually the game United won 2-1 at Highbury in February 1997, which I’m convinced was the true birth of the United/Fergie and Arsenal/Wenger rivalry. The game early the following season, which Arsenal won 3-2, would be a similar candidate.

So many. RVP's winner at City.
Oshea's winner at Anfield.

Let's not forget Rio should have been off for his foul on Ljungberg early on...The whole game I assume they meant, including the blatant penalty that should have been given to Ronaldo for a foul by Ashley Cole but was somehow ignored by the officials
But anyway, I don't wish to appear bitter...
I had the pleasure of watching this in person. Not only were we shocked to see Owen Hargreaves randomly return, but we were astounded by the talent that is Bebe.
2006/07 United 5-1 Fulham
It's the start of something great!

Bebe went on to be a very competent player didn't he?
The first 20 minutes against Arsenal at Anfield during the 13/14 season. Probably the best most explosive football I’ve seen us play.
Should’ve been 6-0 up after that opening period.

Yep, it’s Macheda. The standout for me.
Owen's winner against City in the 4-3 victory has to be up there.
I remember the day so clearly: I had tickets to the game but I was moving into my new flat at University that day so had to sell them. City had been swinging their dick around all summer through their sugar daddy spending spree. This was their time to make the statement that they were noisy neighbours no more, after being in our shadow for so many years. The fact that it was a free signing that sunk them in the dying embers of the game made it all the more sweeter, combined with Mark Hughes moaning, followed by going batshit mental at the fourth official as the goal went in. He has been unbearably bitter towards us ever since. Absolute gold.

Does it have to be PL? Then I guess the first season we won the PL. As well as the first season with Beckham, Nevilles, Butt, etc
Agreed, the officials somehow ignored a lot that dayThe whole game I assume they meant, including the blatant penalty that should have been given to Ronaldo for a foul by Ashley Cole but was somehow ignored by the officials
I remember I had a hangover from hell that day after drowning my sorrows watching the Scousers score in the last minute against Fulham the night before.
I was listening on the radio as I couldn't get out of bed. The anxiety and stress levels were going through the roof at 2-1 down.
I eventually got out to the TV and watched Ronaldo equalise......then it happened.
I must have blacked out with the joy and screaming. Shouting his name about 100 times.
Oh what a moment....
