Manchester United, Argentina 52 488

I seen this on Sportsnet so i thought i would share

Starting of with Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspurs : October 29, 2008: 4-4


Bitter cross-town rivals Arsenal and Spurs squared off in 2008, with Arsenal leading 4-2, victory seemed certain for Arsenal at the Emirates. Yet Spurs came back with a curled shot into the left corner in the 89th min by Jermaine Jenas, Minutes later Modric's shot hit off the post and found Lennon for the tap in, getting the equalizer

Next is Portsmouth vs Reading: September 29,2007: 7-4


This thriller was the highest scoring match in EPL's history.

Liverpool vs Arsenal: April 21,2009: 4-4


This match should have been known as the "Arshavin game", scoring all 4 goals against liverpool to keep his side in the game. This use to be the time where Torres was the "Torres" scoring two goals. This match went to stoppage time where the scoreline was 3-3, and Arshavin's fourth goal seemed to clinch the victory until Benayoun equalized.

Tottenham Hotspurs vs Manchester United: September 29,2001: 3-5

Tottenham had its home supporters ecstatic at White Hart Lane when it jumped out to a 3-0 first-half lead on giant Manchester United. Andy Cole would put United on the board in the 46th minute off a header, and Laurent Blanc quickly added a second. When Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a third for United, it appeared that Tottenham’s momentum had been shot to pieces. Yet United’s valiant comeback did not end there as Juan Sebastian Veron scored in the 76th minute, and they never looked back from there onwards.

Liverpool vs Newcastle United: April 3,1996: 4-3

Liverpool and Newcastle both had strong ambitions of capturing the 1995-96 Premier League title, and this match was described as a classic by Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan. Liverpool jumped out to an early lead, but it was Newcastle who entered halftime up 2-1. Robbie Fowler would equalize for Liverpool in the 55th minute, only for Newcastle’s Faustino Asprilla to score two minutes later on a counter attack. Yet it would be Liverpool striker Stan Collymore who would be the hero on the night, scoring in the 68th minute to equalize for the Reds. In stoppage time, Liverpool put together a string of brilliant passing, finding a wide-open Collymore in the box, who buried his second goal of the game. Newcastle had a 10-point lead prior to this match, but finished second behind Manchester United.

Manchester United Vs Arsenal: August 28,2011: 8-2


Manchester United put a young Arsenal squad on notice, with a world-class offensive display against their London rivals. United jumped to a 3-1 lead in the first half, but it was a second-half dissection of Arsenal’s defence that brought many of the Gunners players a rude awakening. Wayne Rooney spearheaded United’s attack with a hat trick, giving Arsenal one of its worst beatings in club history, certainly its worst in Premier League history.

Manchester United Vs Manchester City: September 20,2009: 4-3

Bad blood was already brewing prior to the match, as Carlos Tevez left United to join the club’s cross-town rival. Yet the match itself surpassed all expectations, in an absolute thriller at Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney and Gareth Barry had scored for their respective teams in the first half, setting the stage for an outstanding final 45 minutes. Unlikely goal scorer Darren Fletcher put United ahead, before Craig Bellamy equalized. Fletcher would put United ahead in the 80th minute, only for Bellamy to respond once again for City. However, this heated match led to plenty of stoppage time, and Michael Owen scored his important goal of his United tenure in the 6th extra minute, putting the Reds ahead for good.

Manchester United vs Manchester City: October 23,2011: 1-6

Manchester City’s epic beating of Manchester United was not only notable for the result, but for what it meant for both the rivalry, and the state of British football. For years, United fans taunted City supporters for their relative lack of success, but the Citizens had a renaissance, armed with tons of money from new owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Mario Balotelli scored his first of two goals, putting City up 1-0. The tide turned when United defender Jonny Evans was sent off, and City’s five-goal second-half onslaught (three in stoppage time!) showed Ferguson and Manchester United that the new regime was no longer content being the little brother in Manchester.

Newcastle United vs Arsenal: February 5,2011: 4-4


This game appeared to be over in the first half, as the North London club stormed to a four-goal lead in the first half, with Robin van Persie scoring a brace in the first half. However, Newcastle stormed back in the second half, as Joey Barton capitalized on two penalty kicks. With Arsenal holding on for dear life, Cheick Tiote unleashed a stunning volley from outside the box, helping Newcastle come back against the vaunted Gunners. To make things all the more interesting, Newcastle almost won, as Kevin Nolan put a late-minute chance wide of the net.

And of course who can forget this game, one of the most memorable game in history

Manchester City vs Queens Park Rangers: May 13,2012: 3-2


The 2012 Premier League season was one for the ages, highlighted by the events of the final day of the campaign. Bitter rivals Manchester United and Manchester City were tied on points prior to the final games, with City’s goal differential acting as a tie-breaker. Manchester United did their part, defeating Sunderland 1-0. With Queen’s Park Rangers leading 2-1 over Manchester City late, it appeared that the Reds would win the title. But Edin Dzeko scored in the 2nd minute of the five added in stoppage time, leading to Sergio Aguero’s winner at the last possible second, giving Manchester City its first Premier League title.

That Arshavin hat-trick of 4 goals at Anfield was a pleasure to watch live.

Too much Manchester derby, and not enough United vs Arsenal.

Also, while the result was better for Arsenal, this NLD deserves to be there more than the 4-4.

Even if we lost, I would argue that the 6-3 game at the etihad was a great game. The score doesn't really show the real story, and we put a great fight. There was drama, equalizers, mistakes, refereeing controversies, I think that's all you want from a football game.
