I would say yes. Combination of factors:
1. Quality of opposition
2. Consistent performance across the team
3. Quality of goals, including Kenny's pearler
4. Satisfaction of breaking a losing streak against Melbourne, and a scoring drought for Hernandez and Brockie
5. Satisfaction of beating Melbourne fullstop
6. Superb crowd atmosphere
Discuss.
Dunno

EASY
I don't care how bad they were - any team that loses 5-0 plays badly
Slightly edge over the GCU game for me. We are playing some great football, all over the park. Hope Brockie is now on the road to finding some confidence, and it was a genuine delight to see how happy his team mates were for him.
Very good result not to temper the joy but the Victory did played in 40 degree heat on tues and had a few players out

Considering we were on a a big losing streak to Victory, that was one hell of a convincing performance to forget about that.
We will never fully decide who has won the football.
YES
People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.
Easily. #FTT
Wonder how the shooting stats compare with the GCU game.
From memory Smeltz didn't even get a shot off at goal, but not sure about the whole GCU team. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=10605407

Yes. Without a doubt.
Victory are a good side, much better than GCU were at the time.
It's either this or the recent away win against WSW for mine.

It was definitely up there. Gutted to have missed it but happy I managed to at least see it live on TV.
For the reason that I was actually there, 6-0 v GCU was better!

Yes. Without a doubt.

Weren't GCU 2nd on the table at the time? It was early season though. End of October.
top result for sure.
best result ever? possibly not, but interesting that 2 of the clubs best ever performances are within 3 weeks of each other and in first term of a new coach.
E's Flat Ah's Flat Too
And very little hoofball to be seen.
I'm not sure. We controlled the game, but didn't score for fun. Just towards the end there defence was looking like crumbling, but Carlos and Kenny's goals were more great goals from outside the area and let's be honest the peno was a bit iffy...Brockie's and Stein goals saw us start to dominate inside their penalty area as well as the rest of the park.
I still feel we are going to have a better performance than this where we absolutely grind a team into the mud and score when we want for 90 mintues- not only dominating position, but obliterating their defence for 90 minutes. Anti-jinx, but I think we should start doing Glenn McGraths and picking our bunnies...(head in the clouds)
Kenny put an outrageous shot in the net, we had a call go our way for a change, Carlos' first was well deserved all round and we iced it with the last two goals. A fantastic scoreline against one of the League's better teams, we led from the front the whole way and, apart from maybe 15-20 minutes in the second half, we simply outplayed them. One of our best three results for sure and I'd probably rate it top, but that WSW match was a cracker too.
In all the seasons I've missed only four games at home. One of them was the 6-0 win, damn it; but from TV replays of that game I reckon last nights was a very big result against a much better team. And I love beating any side that Kevin Muscat has anything to do with.
No1 result for me.
I'd say that GCU at the time, and Victory now, would be two sides about equal in strength relative to the league they were playing in at the time - I think all teams are stronger now, including us.

It was a special game and what made it so much better was the fact it was against Victory who have really been one of our bogey team.
I loved the game against WSW but feel it wasn't a full 90mins like last night was.

I was at the gcu game and had to watch highlights of this great game so the gcu was better for me
Yes. Without a doubt.
Victory are a good side, much better than GCU were at the time.
rojas, so special
Yes. Without a doubt.

"Yellow Fever are fantastic – I have to say that"
Just got told that muscat left the field without shaking Ernie's hand... Was this true?
Yep as soon as the whistle blew he was off across the field and shook Brockies hand as he passed him. Was poor form from Muscat although his pride may have been hurt. Was there any history between him and Ernie so to speak?
I'm hoping the next game when we spank Roar 0-4 away will be our best game.
A win without our Kosta Ricans will provide definitive proof that total tiki taka has arrived.

Would that have been a foul anywhere else on the park? Of course it would. Therefore it's a clear pen. There's nothing in the rules saying that offences that give away a penalty need to be more severe than an offence that gives away a foul.

"Yellow Fever are fantastic – I have to say that"
I think that our first ever win in Sydney is massively underrated in our history. At one stage it was was our greatest ever win, and I think it is still in our top 3

I'm not saying it wasn't a pen but he certainly did make the most of the contact. That said you have to show the referee its a foul sometimes.
Yeah I thought it was a dive. But after having seen a replay of the game, it was a clear penalty and the contact caused him to go down
