Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

And GARNISH me with examples.

1) Thrashing the opposition with no possibility of any outcome other than a win.
2) A win despite playing poorly and looking shit.
3) Coming from behind by pure passion and hard work.
4) Coming from behind by tactical changes by the manager.
5) Winning through adversity - having players sent off/ outfield player having to play in goal
6) Winning through the efforts of a single player who turned a game.

I quite enjoy the ones where we get battered for 89 minutes, then in our first attack score a last minute, blatantly off side winner.

Re: Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

Being part of 10,000 hammers, not given a hope in hell, Di Canio goes through on Bartez, the whole away end looks at the lino...

Then utter bedlam ensues and I get off the floor 3 rows in front of where I was sitting...great day

Re: Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

There's a column missing.....the 'we haven't won there for 53 years" column.

I was driving my 11 year old back from the first game of his tournament in Leesburg, Va. and I remembered we were playing Liverpool, away. I asked him (I was almost hiding behind the sofa) what the score was at half time.

He went to sport on bbc.com, found the football page, and siad, er dad.......we're winning 2-0.

I said, FMOB (got a $2 fine for that from him) we'd better get home for the second half....easiest second half I've seen for ages.

Re: Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

Beating London rivals (yids & chelsea) in a ding dong battle after a mates work colleague comes out with “do you seriously think you’re going to beat us today” in the pub before the game, they leave one turnstile open for the away fans, their up & coming club legend & general all round scumbag gives it the wanker sign while warming up as a sub, the stewards get involved in a ruck with our supporters & previously mentioned club legend scumbag goes purple when we score the 82nd minute winner! A bit like this one

Re: Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

Always like a big fat thrash, not to be mixed up with a ugly red rash.
Although a win is a win is a win right, i suppose if you actually attend the game you will appreciate a hard fought win and a last minute win even more so because of the euphoria of getting it so late.
But as I said I would prefer to see three goals in the first half and another one or two in the second if I am honest nice easy peasy slap to the opposition team is always preferable but pretty rare.

Re: Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

I love coming from behind like last night and total domination of so called bigger teams like L'pool the other week

Re: Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

A 1-0 home win against woeful opposition after a terrible performance and a lucky own goal... and booing the players off at half time and full time!

Re: Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

a win where a team with a significantly lower payroll and/or talent puts together a better strategy and wins a highly competitive game through grit, determination, and team cohesion.

the opener against Arsenal, man city away, chelsea home, the double over Man U in 2006, 1998 world cup final, 2002 world cup opener France v. Senegal, US v. Portugal 2002 world cup, US v. Spain Confed cup 2009, 2004 euro cup finals,

Scoring a dodgy penalty in the last minute against sp*rs when they need to draw to qualify for the CL.

Re: Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

There are few greater feelings than being 1-0 down in a game, and the opposition goalkeeper taking 40 seconds for each goal kick and the opposition players tying their show laces before taking throw ins etc. Then all of a sudden we score 2 goals in 10 minutes and the keeper is then running around like a lunatic with the ground ironically jeering his new found sense of urgency.

Love those sorts of games. Southampton at home a few weeks ago was a bit like that.

Re: Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

Any win against the yid cunts. Also the " I told you so" win, where you just have a gut feeling we're going to beat someone and most people are fearing the worst.

JONESY 4:32 Wed Jan 13
Re: Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

I have high blood pressure, so...

an early lead, followed by a quick second, followed by absolutely controlling the game and scoring many more to their none please.

Re: Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

Beating Tottenham with no forwards was quite funny.

Beating Tottenham is always funny.

an OS win

Re: Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

Coming from behind away from home. That feeling when Maiga scored the winner to knock Spurs out the cup after we was losing 1-0 is up there with the best feelings from a game I was at.

I enjoyed that more than for argument sake when we beat Brighton 6-0. I like the close games with a late winner.

Raymond Duck 4:16 Wed Jan 13
Re: Whats's your favourite TYPE of win?

Brum away April '93.

1-0 down with about three mins left, two late goals by Brown and Bishop secured an unlikely win.

Which was nice.
