	26 May 1989 - Liverpool 0-2 Arsenal. In with the Gooners of course. Last match of the season, and the title decider. Going into the game, Liverpool were 3 points ahead, with a 4 goal superior goal difference. Arsenal had scored more throughout the season, so needed to win by two (or more) goals to win the title. Alan Smith scored in the 52nd minute to put Arsenal 1-0 up. Michael Thomas got the second goal in the third minute of injury time, to secure the title with literally the last kick of the season. Quite simply the greatest ever finish to a game of football. -----signature----- Stand up if you hate Tottenham

For me, the 72 League Cup Final, the 72 FA cup final, just to abduct the guy in the White jacket who played the Arsenal player onside! Also Matthews tribute game at the Old Vic, so many world stars there would have been unbelievable. Away from my own team, the 66 World Cup final. Final day of the 05 Oval Ashes Test match.

	It is one thing that saddens me being a Stoke Fan that Stan never won anything with us, for all of his skill and longevity you would have though that we could have built a side around him to at least win something... Fantastic player, but more so a great person. -----signature----- Someone once told me that Blue Yoda was great. That must mean I have a good avatar!

	Tommy_Docherty posted: Obi Wan Bergkamp posted: Quite simply the greatest ever finish to a game of football. Nonsense. 1999 CL final. I respectfully disagree. Yes the 1999 CL final had a dramatic finish (as did the 1979 FA Cup final, and countless other games) but as cup matches they are by there very nature one offs. What happens in one round doesn't affect the next, a 1-0 win is as valueable as a 4-0 win - both results see you progress (or win). The Anfield match is different. Rather than a one off game this was the culmination of a 38 match season. The game was between the two teams who had been scrapping for the title. Just one more goal for either side at any point of the season would have dramatically changed the dynamics of the final match. Unlike a cup final, there was 10 months of football coming down to that one moment in the last few seconds of the whole season. In my opinion this makes it unique and why I called it the greatest ever finish. -----signature----- Stand up if you hate Tottenham

	A beatdown isn't necessarily bad from the "want to be there" perspective. Sure, most games you'd think of are the classics, the great finishes, stuff like that. But sometimes a beatdown can also be viewed as an incredible show of dominance, which can be worth it in another way. -----signature----- The Arena's Favorite Baseball Player Tournament - Come vote! http://boards.theforce.net/the_arena/b10777/29864047/p1/ I approve of NYCitygurl's sig

My bad, I meant 2001, Ivanisevic v Rafter. Though 2002 was an Aussie victory so I couldn't really complain about that one either. -----signature----- Darth Revan Fan Club: Technical Specialist Uncle Eddie was my favourite wrestler Gentle Giant owns my bank account.

Coming from behind to score not only the tying goal in injury time but also the winner to capture the European Cup and in doing so achieving a historic treble, was far more than the culmination of a 38 game season. I'm not sure a better finish to a game of football or a season is possible. -----signature----- I quit!
