Re: ARTICLE: Choose your favourite away win in the Premier League

Some great memories looking at that list. Really brings home how good the Dyche era was.
The exception being the 1-0 at Bournemouth. Absolutely awful game. I barely celebrated the late winner, as the match had practically sucked the life out of me.

If it’s going to happen we need to just get it done asap so we have an established number one in, on good time.
It should only be done if our valuation is met, and within a timeframe also dictated by us. And, no matter who, or how many, they send shouldn’t alter this.

So cool that you were there CT. It was something special that I’m sure most of the country would’ve wanted to be at.
