There isn’t a day which can’t be improved with a watch of this.

Later this month we’ll be ten years undefeated.

You've beaten me to it by seconds.

The day it all ended, the day they had to stop telling us how long it had been.

It was before UTC but three years ago I reproduced the report

Don't hear off them much these days. Love that my lad and a whole generation of Clarets are growing up that just don't believe they've ever been better than us.

I like Phil Bird.

I don’t know why but no matter how many times I watch it it always comes as a surprise to see Michael Keane in a Rovers shirt.

Doesn't look right does it - that was his debut for them

And they'd been so lucky to hold onto that unbeaten record against us. Particularly the offside goal by that chubby bloke who used to play for them.

Still, what a day it was to be a Claret. It'll always be in my favourite games to have been at. The celebrations went on forever.

I preferred Agent Kean.....now he was the real deal!

Remarkably eight of those players are still playing at the top table.

[ElectroClaret]

"Treasure the moment!!" Hell yes, Phil.

There was also a great bit of clearing off the line from Ben Mee from a Rovers shot, another
important point in the game.

More importantly this month it’s TEN YEARS since they last beat us.

Rovers mate of mine was alluding to the possibility of playing us in the Premier League next season. Naturally I laughed. I have seen the level of that league this year. It's very poor. Can't see it changing any time soon. This was prior to them losing to Derby. I haven't ribbed them about that yet. They seem to have gone quiet.

Andy Payton leading the chanting in Wetherspoons after the game was brilliant. Best night out ever.

[Foulthrow]

Has there been more games in the ten years we’ve gone undefeated or were more games in the 30 odd years that they went undefeated against us?

[ClaretEngineer]

I will never tire of watching Ings’ shot hit the back of the net.

The highlights deserves its own Blue Plaque.

This came up on my FB memories. I remember it well, I was living as a dive instructor on a small island in Thailand. Had to watch it on my laptop in a bar with a rovers fan mate of mine at the time. We both wore our respective shirts...Twas a funny site us both hunched over a laptopn watching the game.,,,,needless to say he got ribbed for weeks!
