Best Recent Times Comeback - Leicester (97), Leeds Away (2001) or Arsenal (11)?

[Guest pricedoutoftoon]

Today has been amazing and it's the first game I've missed for a while. I got goose bumps just reading through the match day thread.

 

But I remember the 4-3 vs Leicester in 97 and, for me, it was the mother of all celebrations. I ended up (with many more) about 5 rows down. It was an awesome game and an awesome win.

 

A sweet and sour season though (for obvious reasons).

 

For those who experienced today...which was better? It's a free world so whatever reason will do

Today was better for me because Arsenal are planets ahead of what Leicester were.

Given our current situation - this, by a country mile.

[Guest Tdeans]

Today by far for the previously mentioned reasons

[Merseyside Mag]

I loved Leeds away, cant remember the year. We won 4-3,  Solano scored in the last minute, and just stood infront of our fans, arms raised. Came from 3-1 down i think it was.

Yes, that's better than either of them, tbh. We were away against a top side and didn't it put us top at Xmas or something?

Today for what it will have done for confidence.

Today. In 97 we were a great team and Leicester weren't, so such a comeback was always a possibility.

 

Coming back from 4-0 down against Arsenal just wasn't possible to do.

[Merseyside Mag]

Yeah I think it did. Lee Bowyer scored that day aswell. Remember hating him and his celebration infront of our fans. A few years later...

today has got to be the best bearing in mind who we were playing.....

I've witnessed some in my time - 5-4 v Leicester in 1990 after being 4-2 down with 13mins to go. However, today tops that.

We actually took a 1 nil lead in that Leicester game and were 3-1 down quite early in the 2nd half iirc and were favourites to win pre match.

 

To be 4 nil down against Arsenal who are currently 2nd in the league when we are under scrutiny and expected to drop like a stone and come back to draw 4-4 and actually be very unlucky not to win is a far greater acheivement imho.

Yeap. We were 1-0 up at half time and bossing it even.

[TRon]

Don't think anything can top this considering the blows we've been taking and what we were up against. Still haven't worked out where we got the strength to come back.

Bellamy against  Feyenoord takes some beating

[Newcastle Fan]

Had Nolan's shot gone in this would've been the best comeback since Jesus.

[Yorkie]

Leeds 4-3, then this. Though i wasn't really old enough to feel (or even remember) the Leicester one.

:lol:

Or Rangers Raker or if Bests perfectly good goal hadn't been dissalowed.

5-4 Leicester is still the best for me just for personal reasons.  I had moved down to Leicester that year and at 4-2 knew the abuse I was going to receive from everybody kids and teachers on Monday.  Then from no where it was 5-4.  Plus the night before I had a dream we won 5-4
