The away one because it was the most unexpected with all of our injuries.

The home game
It was the final marker for any “are we good enough for the PL?” questions

Away. Reserve defence. Last minute winner. Controlled it for an hour. Empty seats everywhere.

Was at the home game but beating that lot in the dying minutes and watching their fans lose the plot was priceless.

You can't beat winning both of them! If you had to choose, it's got to be the win at their place and Brobbey offering out 54000 goblins.

The home one was massively significant , as already posted , they thought they would just rock up and do us.
But the away one at the lop sided skip has surpassed it for me.

It's always class to beat them but this season was different. We still have a light headache from being in league one and they are bankrolled by an entire country. 6 easy points they claimed yet it was us that rocked up and took the 6 points. The gulf between the championship and PL is massive, as they were keen to remind us, only to be beaten by a newly promoted team twice.

The real beauty of the two wins is that had the mags won they would have been 6th pushing hard for a CL spot.
The damage the 6 points we took from them is massive.
If we can see out the rest of the season above them then it would be the perfect return.

Away…..patched up side, mags thinking they were going to stroll it, the resilience in the squad to take the early mistake on the chin and boss them second half
Can’t lie the 3 week break after and that allowing us to witness an absolute head loss from them has also added to the enjoyment

I hate it when it sounds like I'm having a go at our lads, because I'm not. But they lost from a goal ahead to a team with O'Nien, Hume and Ellborg in it.
Brobbey was just back from injury and threw their strongest players about and gave their best defenders nightmares. O'Nien and Hume saw action in the FA cup game, so the mags had no excuses there and Ellborg was playing his 2nd or 3rd senior game for us and it was probably the biggest game he'll ever play in

The Away Game was class. Got the team news stood in Central Station waiting for the Police Escort to leave and everyone was pretty much the same "oh shit, were gonna get battered". The walk to the ground was class. Then after 10 minutes 1 nil down and you think, aye, here we go this could get ugly. But after the first 20 minutes we were the better team and then the scenes at the equaliser, the winner and the walk back to the station after the game were unbelievable. Absolutely amazing. One of the best days ever.

I'm just glad that the three week hiatus after our heroics at the landfill following the absolute implosion of their season has given them a sense of humility and they are no longer as breathtakingly arrogant or deluded as they were
So it's got to be the Meg on the Tyne for me
