I say last five years because I'm not sure how long match streaming and file saving has been going on online.

For me, it has to be City vs. QPR in the 11-12 season finale to win the league.

Two goals to come from behind and win in stoppage time, while United thought they had it all but sewed up after defeating Sunderland makes it that much more incredible to me. The stakes of the game and just the way City came back were unmatched IMO.

Some others, just off the top of my head include Chelsea and Barca in 2012, that Ramires chip and Torres breakaway still get me fired up. The Chelsea v Bayern game in the UCL finale was also a great match.

Regardless, I'd like to hear some others so that if I haven't seen them I can maybe find them somewhere online to watch.

As far as English football the three you mentioned are probably the biggest.

Another good one was when Pool beat City giving us the immortal "this does not slip" speech from Gerrard though of course he did slip so it didn't have the lasting impact it could have.

Crystal Palace coming back to draw Pool 3-3 that same season was pretty epic too.

Gave us Suarez's tears.

Sir Alex Ferguson's last game against West Brom in 2013 was entertaining, think it ended 5-5. Lukaku hat trick.

Both good ones... I'd add the Chelsea match where Stevie actually slipped... I hated the outcome, but those three matches were a great story line to close out the season..

Loved Stevie's speech and Suarez's tears... hated it how it played out in the end though..

Jose running down the side after the second goal pounding his chest after saying all week that focus was on Champions League was pretty awesome as well.

The stakes weren't epic by any means, but the 5-4 Norwich/Liverpool game earlier this year was amazing. Down 3-1, Lallana wins it in the final minute 5-4

We could all live to be 100 and may never see anything like City winning the title in the final seconds again

It's crazy because I watched the match not too long ago again and the commentators kept mentioning leading up to stoppage time that if a comeback did happen it would best the greatest one in the history of the sport, regarding the circumstances.

Once it happened they both mentioned that it was the most amazing thing they'd witnessed in the sport in their entire lives. It still gives me goosebumps.

I will say this, I'm somewhat rooting for a final day championship decider this season, regardless of who is in it. Makes for such an amazing day. If Leicester were to win it on the final day in stunning fashion that would be epic.

I ran outside and literally started to roll on the ground and my girlfriend at the time, who doesn't know shite about sports in general, thought I was having a seizure.

That City QPR match has to take it.

Personal favorites:
Blackburn 4 Arsenal 3 in 2011. The game that got me into club soccer one Saturday morning on ESPN

Everton 3 Arsenal 0 2014. 4th place didn't happen but this game was glorious.

Spurs beating Arsenal at WHL last year, as well as the draw this year at WHL.


Maybe I just hate Arsenal...
