‘Agueroooooooooo!’

Manchester City vs Queens Park Rangers, May 2012

??Ninety-six minutes of madness, but it is the two deep into injury time that served up the greatest-ever end to a Premier League season.

Trailing 2-1 to relegation candidates QPR and needing to win to match Manchester United’s result, Eden Dzeko offered City hope in the 91st minute when he headed in an equaliser.

City poured forward in search of the winner and chaos ensued when Sergio Aguero fired past Paddy Kenny in the 94th minute.

A first title since 1968 and in the madness, QPR had stayed up, too, despite needing a draw, after results in the other matches went their way.

Both fanbases came together in a remarkable moment of shared joy and attempted to grasp what they had just witnessed.

A two-minute period after multiple English clubs had finally pulled out of the competition felt joyous.

A new threat may arise in future, but the collapse of the Super League was a reminder that the sport that had been designed by the few, could be redesigned by the efforts of the many.

When Spain and Germany were heading out…

World Cup, December 2022

Strictly speaking, I didn’t find these two minutes exciting.

Costa Rica were 2-1 ahead, up to six points — and with Germany and Spain both losing, Costa Rica and Japan were heading through.

For two minutes, time stopped.

To help with writing this, my editor sent over a handy article explaining how the night played out.

‘That night in Barcelona’

Manchester United vs Bayern Munich, May 1999 

Imagine, if you will, if Manchester United’s iconic triumph over Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final had occurred in the modern era.

Oh, how the group chats would have buzzed as United toiled at the Camp Nou, their hopes of becoming the first English team to complete a treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League trophies in the same season hanging by a microscopic thread.

Think how the engagement-farming footy banter social media accounts would have been primed to unleash a cascade of laughing emojis (a hearty mixture of the ‘Face with Tears of Joy’ emoji and its zany cousin the ‘Rolling on the Floor Laughing’ emoji) — because, to quote the oft-parodied refrain, this is Manchester United we’re talking about.

But then came two of the most memorable minutes in any major cup final in modern memory.

Ninety minutes had been played at Anfield and Arsenal only led 1-0 in the final game of the First Division (the top tier, now the Premier League) season, meaning the title was headed Liverpool’s way.

The visitors launched their final attack, Lee Dixon finding Alan Smith down the right flank, who flicked on for Thomas.

The Liverpool players fell to the ground, their manager Kenny Dalglish standing stone-faced in shock.

The hosts mounted one last attack in the remaining seconds but it was Thomas himself who collected the ball and coolly passed it back to John Lukic in goal as though this were any other moment.

The full-time whistle blew seconds later and Arsenal were champions, this two-minute stretch indelible in the lore of English football.

It was May 2005 and Celtic led Rangers by two points going into the final day of the season.
