    For me it was at home to Reading. We didn't just beat them, we murdered them. 3-0 was being kind to them, we were so far superior in every aspect of the game. Is history about to repeat itself? Also, we are now on the same number of points we were in 96-97 after seven games, but with a far superior goal difference. Interesting parallels.

    Man was Man City at home when we beat them 2 nil without ever looking troubled.

    The cynic in me wanted to answer Bradford at home but I resisted. Yeah me.

    Still 11 v 11 but when you have teams like villa n newcastle with champions league winning managers buying their way out its alot harder. If this carrys on though I minght have to shell out 38 quid for bellend road tickets.

    I'm sticking with Reading. And for this season too if we beat them 3-0 on Saturday. Especially if Darren Sheridan rifles in a free kick.

    After the 2-2 draw at Bolton. We'd drawn at home with them a few weeks earlier,,same score, and just looked a class act at Burnden Park, as did they, in a fantastic game of football.

    the man city away win was 1-2, i think nigel clough scored for them.
    i have doubts even at the best of times but for me the match/night when it all started to feel real was when we beat the Blunts at home live on Sky in about march 97. by then it was starting to look like us or Wolves for that 2nd place.

    Yep, I'd agree with you there. The Reading match was the one where I realised we had a very decent chance of sticking around the leading pack for the season, but the Blunts game in March - what a truly magical night that was.

    Man City away.

    Still thought we'd bottle it.

    This season I don't wanna care. I want to support a true Barnsley team, Chairman, Manager & players that are making their names at Barnsley, even if they aren't born there. We won't go down. We might make top six. I'm proud as f@@k of my team.

    yes it was an amazing night and i remember it because we'd drawn at home to a dreadful dirty Swindon team 3 nights earlier in the heavy fog.
    any doubts i had from that game were blew away with that stunning performance against the Blunts, and nicky eaden's goal and celebrations really summed it all up for me. magic!! :)

    We won the first six straight. Then lost the seventh. IIRC it was to Reading at home. Hang on...
