Clarets highlights of the decade

Post by tiger76 » Tue Dec 17, 2019 6:53 pm

So as the 2010's draw to a close what's been your best BFC memories,there has been more highs than lows over the piece.

1)Winning at Ewood
2)Winning at Stamford Bridge
3)Europa League qualification
4)Beating Liverpool at home
5)Hendrick's goal at Goodison
6)Keane's equaliser against Boro
7)Defour's FK at OT
8)Defour's goal against Bristol City
9)McNeil's 1st PL goal against the Hammers
10)Performing a great escape last season when all seemed lost at Xmas

I'm sure there's loads i've missed,so feel free to add yours. :)

Surely Sean Dyche's appointment is number 1?

Keane’s equaliser

None of what happened afterwards would have happened

Most people start a decade on the 1st of January of the '0' year. The twenties start next month 1/1/20

That looks a pretty good list Tiger - wouldn’t disagree with much of that.
Heaton’s save against Zlatan at OT was pretty special - as was his comeback game last year v West Ham.
Joey Barton goal v Southampton on his return to the club.
Danny Ings goal at OT where we played them off the park and lost 3-1 somehow !
Beating Man City at home with that brilliant George Boyd goal.
The Wigan home game where we clinched promotion was brilliant.

It’s not been a bad 10 years as it ?
And can you believe we still have fans who are not happy ?!!!

“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.”

John Lydgate

That quote seems very apt,and all our success isn't built on sand,we're securing the club's future by sensible stewardship,and not relying on a rich sugardaddy.

I'm :? sometimes exactly what exceptations a minority of our fanbase has,yes we need to improve the club on and off the pitch,which we're doing,but this has to be done in a sustainable manner,just because we have PL status doesn't mean there's a bottomless pit of money.

Most of the above plus being 3-0 up at Chelsea at half-time was surreal.

Been a terrific decade beyond anything we could have ever hoped for. Hard to pick one but that day at Charlton was special, besting Wigan to go up two years earlier was also. But I can’t ever forget being 3-0 up at Chelsea at half time. That was something else.

I disagree, though the point is debateable - but anyway, what indeed are twelve months between friends? 8-)

How about when Billy Hamilton scored 2 in that 4-1 away win at Spurs ?
What’s 30 plus years between......?!!

As well as many of the highlights above, building the Gawthorpe training centre which is probably some of the best money the club the club has ever spent

The last two draws at Old Trafford, both which should have been wins, are very special in our household (wife Utd supporter although Claret season ticket holder). The free kick from Defour to put us two up in the Boxing Day 2017 fixture was very very special. Just hope we can take it to the next step up and beat them home or away within the next month or so. That would trump the lot for me.

First half of the 70's weren't bad, until Jimmy had players sold, but then started our near terminal decline.
So reckon the this last decade has to have been the best since the 60's.

OUR 2016 heroics at old trafford , but specifically Tom Heaton's masterclass.
That display was incredible, and as a team the commitment was outstanding. Fighting spirit and genuine passion. Loved every second of it.

by coincidence this Saturdays game sees us having played twice as many games in the Premier League this decade than those guys down the road 168 to 84, we do the same to Bolton next month
