The slip or getting sent off after 45 seconds?

Yeah that's true. Today was awesome though. He'll never forget this either. Last match and doing that.
Add on the Van Gaal slap in Giggs face.
No question....the slip cost them the Premiership last season and that will haunt them forever 
The slip was easily the bigger screw up.
The stamp was one of the funniest things ive ever seen in football. Everything* from the anticipation of Captain Fantastic inspiring another Istanbul to his first headless chicken tackle on Mata made it even better.
* i say everything, but thats actually all he did.

You know what I found the most funny.
The delayed warm up. The commentators bigging him up. It made it even funnier. Plus Herrera got up so it was all for nothing.
Gerrard in tears after the match before the slip, thinking it was his time, captain fantastic to bring the PL to Liverpool.
I can't help but smile knowing what would happen Vs Chelsea.
Couldn't make it up.

The slip surely is one of the most epic feck ups in modern football. I'm struggling to remember any single incident by a single player with bigger impact than that. Roberto Baggio's penalty against Brazil in the 1994 WC comes to mind. If I was to write a book called "The ten most epic feck ups in football history" I'm pretty sure the slip would be a top three, if not number one. It's the kinda stuff Hollywood bases an entire movie on.
The stamp was just moronic behavior from a guy who was too fired up, classic hot head situation with that tackle on Mata just before. It was the United fan's personal slip, an awesome moment that will be cherished for years.

I think it has to be the slip - if not for that Liverpool could/would have won the league last season, and Gerrard would have most likely retired bowing out on top. But instead he slipped and they finished second, so he's decided to play on another season to chase the dream for one season too many. This in turn allowed the stamp to happen, ergo no slip no stamp.
JT slip would be #1.
The slip was a historical event that will never be forgotten.
Thank you Steven for the memories.

This 40 second red card is like the port & cigars after the slippy league losing banquet.
I don't like it being called a slip to be honest. The problem was he failed to control the ball and the slip was in attempting to retrieve the situation, but he wouldn't have caught Ba even if he hadn't slipped.
It would be churlish to criticise him for a lack of control though when many of his driving runs were created through him chasing a poor first touch.

Stevie G you can not make this shit up. This team has something catchy in it.. Slip'n and slid'n, stamping and biting.... Liverpool our comedy gold.. Couldn't have happened to a more fitting player.. And that slip wins hands down still burst into laughter watching it...
It would however require Baggio to have said before the shoot-out... "Lads... this doesn't go over the bar"
Yeah but Gerrard didn't tell his teammates "this does not fail to control the ball now".
Whilst the slip itself was - of course - absolute gold... I also got a big-kick out of the remaining 45 minutes of that game, where a visibly shaken and hurt Stevie G... haunted by the slip of slips... proceeded to play like an absolute lemon and try and win the game by doing things that he wasn't remotely capable of doing - harming his team in the process. Delightful.
Nah, the red card was hilarious for the rest of us too. The slip still wins it though.
20 years from now, me and a chelsea fans will be sharing a pint laughing about how you stop them dead, his slip, and hopefully we can return you the favor (although that's a 15 title too early for now)Nah, the red card was hilarious for the rest of us too. The slip still wins it though.
The slip was a defining moment, his post-match talk at City plus them losing the title because of that, pure gold.
This stamp was pretty comical too though, adding to his legacy

The slip by a country mile.
