It's brilliant isn't it? Another season with seven away wins. What another fantastic season this is.

Well said Sean, you and your players are a credit to our club and go from strength to strength whatever is put in front of them, be it Liverpool or Norwich. 2020 performances have been off the map and have given supporters so much pleasure.

Beat Brighton and we will have a points per game average of 1.5
Normally 1 per game keeps you safe and 2 per game puts you easily in Champions League
Amazing

54 points (possibly 57) is a magnificent achievement.
Tremendous stuff by both players and staff alike.

Sensational really and would have been beyond anyone's wildest dreams when we were 1-0 down at home to Leicester in January.

I always tend to start working on that at the beginning of a season and in all our seasons in the Premier League a point a game has been enough to stay up. Apart from when we'd played 4 and 5 games, we were always ahead of it and then sort of zoomed away from it from mid-Jan onwards.

It's great, I'm able to sit here in Philly and watch my team be broadcast across the US on the main NBC network today, with Lee Dixon applauding us loudly in his comments during the match. My BFC shirt gets recognized and commented on constantly, we are far from being seen as an unpopular team in my experience, sports fans here praising our achievements. Good number of 'honorary' Clarets among my work colleagues and friends nowadays :) This continues to be a fantastic period for us.

I could never have dreamed the club would reach these lofty heights back in the 80s. What we have achieved over the last 10 years is unbelievable

We have come such a long way. In our first two seasons in the Premier League it felt like every game was a cup game against a team from a higher division. Now we have had two top half finishes in three seasons (with a top half second half of the season in the other one). In 2014/15 the thought of achieving seven away wins in a PL season would have been pure fantasy. All this has been achieved despite a succession of disastrous transfer windows.
