Some amazing saves, a couple from Schmeichel, even a couple from the PiG... But I can't help but wonder how De Gea's save from Mata's free kick this season didn't make the grade.
The best saves over a season are very hard to remember, nevermind 20 years, but looking at some of the saves on that video, De Gea's is better than a lot. Especially considering the magnitude of the save, as I feel that was possibly the incident which pushed us into the form to have us sitting atop the table right now!
Anyone else think of any other top saves, goals, celebrations not on those videos?
Admins, multiboard?

The Friedel save against United came the previous season, not in 2008/09.

It is a good save, but at a decent height. Not as good as the one against Rapid Vienna in my opinion, where he has to go back the way he has just come from and get right down it, and then has the presence of mind and strength to flick it up over the bar. Have a watch. Also, take a look at the reaction of the Vienna player at the near post after the save - he cant believe it!
