A1X said:

Last night was way more enjoyable than the Liverpool game was. The last half hour of that was as close to torture as I ever want to get.

5 Live football commentator Ali Bruce Ball was at the match last night and he called it "the best game he's seen all season"

For fans - obviously . I'd say it even pushes aside Liverpool (A) . But for neutrals. ? It did have the comeback, the return of fans, great goals from Foden and Trossard, Dan Burn, the niggle between Potter and Pep, the various VAR talking points, the sending off and a big surprise result for the Champions - 10 days out from a Champions League final. So quite a match ? But game of the season ? ?
Any others - Liverpool - Villa ?

Leeds early season games against Liverpool and Fulham were very entertaining.

However, it really needs fans present to be "proper football" in my eyes. This has certainly been the best game with fans present, albeit there are not many to choose from. I think the presence of fans also influenced a couple of the reffing decisions and the sideline handbags.

As a Brighton fan it was easily my favourite game - knocks stuffing Newcastle on the telly into a cocked hat.

How does it fit in the pantheon of games you've seen? For me, it may well be the most enjoyable game I've seen at the Amex. I can't really compare it with games 10, 20, 30 or 40 years* ago as I saw the world through different eyes back then.

Edit, er, also 50+ years ago. FFS. I'm 63 today. Rock and roll!

The Palace win with 10 men and Sheffield Wednesday also with 10 men with the Stockdale save my personal highlights at the Amex.

Doncaster was great, but not that great a game, a special ending though.

But he didn't say it was the best game all season, only the best game he had seen. Perhaps he had been watching Palace the rest of the season.

Saturday, and we may see the reverse in action. Although Arsenal is such a library the ref may not feel so pressured...
