Yes I was at the Oxford game and know what it ment and other games.

But have we ever been 3-1 down against a squad as today and turned it round?

We could have all picked the squad except the master stroke.

vardy for Nugent but No Nige dropped Mahrez we did not see that.

 

 

For some reason I don't have an add a vote could a mod add it yes/no plse

 

To me it is a YES

Nothing will ever beat the 2-1 at home to Hereford in December 2008 for me.

thats a big statement.. this club has been going a very long time, it feels like it at the moment but there have been fans going longer than us who are more qualified to judge, I started in 1969..

Unless we have a statto it can only be living memory I go back to 74.

like I said oxford ment more.

But a meaningless game have we had a better result in my time NO

Took guts, spirit, and determination to pull together today and turn it around. Would have been easy to give up at 2 down. I doubt we will ever see a game quite like that again , especially with opponents like United. Incredible win.

It is a question League win not cup

Didn't read properly lol but for excitement and demolition of a big team I'd put on par with it.

Within recent years definitely one of the best but whole history not too sure

To be fair, Man U were diabolical in defence.

But that is the best game I've witnessed in my lifetime. Had a season ticket roughly 2007-10 and went to quite a few one offs and that was the best game I could imagine. People may point to Leeds 4-0 or Derby at home but to win against Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world (even though they are shite at the moment) and come back from 3-1 to score 4 in 30 minutes is something special. Add to that being the only team in Prem history to beat Man U from being two down, and the sixth to put 5 past them. As well as a real legend of world football scoring on his Leicester home debut, and a man who on this day 3 years scored against Ebbsfleet in the Conference assisting the first goal, win the penalty for the second, score the fourth and win the penalty for the fifth. A team made up of mostly players who were playing in the Second Division last year come from a point where they looked like getting smashed to completing one if the best comebacks the Prem has seen.

It was truly special. The fans were immense and created an atmosphere that we've been longing for ever since we moved to Filbert Way. I truly regret missing it live but watching it down the Pub with a bunch of plastic Mancs in the corner grimacing made me realise how historical this match could prove to be. Personally my favourite match ever. Proud to be a Leicester fan more than anyone could imagine.

It's our best victory since Tottenham in the FA Cup in 2006.

 

Possibly our best league win, although didn't we end Liverpool's 80-odd match unbeaten home run?

The Derby game where we were 4-0 up away after 10 minutes and the 5-2 v Sunderland are up there as well. But this is better!

YES over here... It had it all - great goals, comeback, controversy, penalties, red card, 4 goals in 20 mins and all at home against one of the most glamorous sides... 5 games into our comeback season. Mouthwatering!

What about the Derby game where we were 4-0 up away after 10 minutes?

Yeah but that's Derby. It's disappointing if we don't beat them by less than 2 goals nowadays.

I was there that day and we went utterly barmy.

I think it's SO big today because it's Man Utd. Bollox to all that stuff about they ain't what they were. It's still a win against one of the world's biggest clubs, they have spent silly money and they have in charge, one of the games top names.

Amazing win today and especially how the scoring went.

No money but doing it right is the comment.

In my time supporting the club yes.

I was at the Arsenal 3-3 game and the Sunderland 5-3 win under MON.

It's not just the magnitude of the win, it's the fact no one gave us a chance pre season. We played today like we've been in the division years. I am immensely proud.

Definitely in the top 3 of all time... Cambiasso 's equaliser was one of the greatest moments... Ever!!!!

Had a manc in the pub still moaning about the peno when that hit the back of the net n went mad.

 

Then at the top of my voice  looked him in the eye and screamed What the fvck was up with that one.

 

Never heard another word.
