One choice only please folk.

 

For me,....getting promotion in 1994/95.

 

It was also the catalyst for bigger things, obviously debatable but it was IMHO as it built on the progress already made.

Losing Sasa and having the 96-97 season we had. I thought we would struggle:)

Eddie Davies taking us to the brink of extinction, despite his claims of having the clubs best interest at heart.

Finding out that Casino had a signed picture of Neville Neville in his wallet.

Probably big sam leaving. Was all a bit wank how it came about and was certainly a turning point in our recent history

2004-2007

 

To narrow it down, qualifying for Europe

 

More to the point, finishing sixth

That win at Anfield after I thought we'd thrown away our chance at Burnden

 

Up like a Salmon

Signing Mario Jardel.

 

I was gobsmacked, thinking how the fuck have we signed him?!?

 

... and then I saw him and realised how.

Anelka. Didn't think he'd come.

The lazy get

Yep, Anelka.

 

The fact we could afford him, the fact he was happy to play for us, it made BWFC a big deal beyond the BL postcodes.

 

A Rolls Royce of a player and the most talented we've ever had.

Knocking down Burnden Park for an out of town stadium.

 

Remember going up to Horwich/Lostock watching the new stadium being built week by week.

When that bloke nearly landed on the pitch at Burnden on a handglider v Arsenal.

 

By far and away the weirdest thing I've ever seen at a football match.

Being 4-0 up at half time in the relegation 6 pointer against Ipswich

Probably stood on the paddock with a hangover and wondering had he really announced : today's teams, no 1 Peter Shilton

Standing in the clock end at Highbury thinking am I dreaming?

Being relegated to 4th division at the hands of Aldershot in 1987.

beating Middlesborough @ the BT Cellnet Stadium with a Gavin McCann goal.

 

fuck knows how we stayed up

May as well blame Allardyce for not adding his own money to his transfer budget when asked.

 

Then spreading some lie about Bolton "not having ambition" to cover up your own cheapskate-d-ness.

Wolves away in the cup. Winning at Anfield was amazing but never thought we'd follow it up with a 2nd cup upset

Spotting a Blackburn fan at Ewood when we won promotion there in the 70's

Probably stood on the paddock with a hangover and wondering had he really announced : today's teams, no 1 Peter Shilton

Don't think Shilton ever started for us at burnden. Unless you mean for Plymouth in 93 of course

 

Big Suprise for me...going to Leeds and winning directly after black Sunday.

Tomski - I'm with you. I remember where I was when I Heard Sasa was leaving & how outraged I was!

 

Also, I remember being on holiday in Turkey & hearing that we'd signed Peter Beardsley & was amazed.

Arsenal away in the cup.

 

Winning at Old Trafford when back in Premier League. But biggest surprise would be 5 at Leicesters ground.

 

Off the pitch maybe the following at Southampton in the cup.

 

If surprises are also bad, how the ground looked after Normid was built.

first season in prem getting beat at city, week earlier we beat arsenal and the vibe was great.

 

Yes agree that following at Southampton was a suprise excellent turn out

I think signing either Roger Hunt or Djorkaeff, not that long after they were World Cup winners

Signing Okocha. Remember watching him at France 98 and thinking would good it would be to see him play in the premier league. Then four years later, sat on a sun lounger, reading in the paper that he had signed for us. Couldn't believe it.
