I actually consider Muamba a highlight because he is still alive. The fact it could of been so much worse is a blessing in a weird kind of way

Yeah I thought about that when I posted it.

Because it cut a career short is why I put in the low light category.

For me the highlight has to be the final day of the premier league, specifically the Man City vs QPR match. I have never experienced a sporting occasion with so many twists and turns with so much at stake, the entire day is still somewhat surreal.

The lowlight is Portsmouth's relegation and continual demise as a football club.

It will be something I never forget. As a neutral, it was just brilliant.

Does that win really make up for it? :D Nah, the only thing that will is winning your own, but you'll need to have at least 1 shot on goal next time ;)

Still, you've got more chance of winning it than us this year haha...Merry Xmas...
 
Most of my highlights come from the title run in.

Highlights
Man City v West Brom - Getting updates from the crowd during the game, at 1-0 some bloke behind me yelled out that Wigan had scored again. Word got around the stand and everyone was jumping up and down, then the bloke behind realised they'd just hit the post and it was still 1-0. Finally got confirmation of the final score as everyone was leaving the ground, bit of hope again.

Man City v Man United - Not so much the game which was a bit rubbish with United coming for a 0-0 draw. But the goal and the "Hey Jude" at the end of the match was awesome.

Newcastle v Man City - Watched this at the pub, and looked around after Yaya's first. Grown men with tears in their eyes, for many of us it was as much about the past 20/30 years at is was about this season. Yaya got his second and for the first time in the season I thought we might just win it.

Man United v Everton - Watched on the tellie, don't think I've ever jumped as high for another teams goal than I did when Pienaar scored.

Man City v QPR - Great build up to the day, great end to the day. 90 minutes of pure torture in between. Aguerroooooooooooooooooooooooo

Bayern Munich v Chelsea - Piss funny to see Munich choke, piss funny to see Spurs cry.

Lowlights
Arsenal v Man City - I figured we weren't going to win it by that stage, this game just confirmed it in my mind.

Champions League 2012/13 - Barely a whimper.

Fallout from Suarez and Terry situations - And in general the increase in racism around grounds and social media. Football shown in a really bad light.

Bayern Munich v Chelsea - Sad to see Chelsea win it, sickened to see John Terry run around in full kit.
 
My highlights are from games I was at -

Scottish cup final - beat Hibs 5-1. Second half was a party. They still haven't won it since 1902. Amazing.

Archie v Heart - enough said.

Naboout v Sydney - 2-0 down, 10 minutes left. Win 3-2. Scenes.
 
Highlights:
Brisbane Roar winning back-to-back championships
Everton starting the season well for once
Everton finishing above the redshite
Getting to see the great Emile Heskey play live ;)

Lowlights:
Brisbane Roar missing out on the League title
Brisbane Roar not getting out of the group stages of the Asian Champions League
Po$tecoglou leaving the Roar to join the $cum.

and the worst football moment of the year...
Losing the FA Cup semi-final to the redshite, one of my lowest moments as an Everton fan.
 
Highlight - getting to see the Western Sydney Wanderers finally start.

Lowlight - Losing to shitteh in the last miute
