Forget the Newcastle game, we've had loads of great moments this year so what's your favourite and what might make it into an end of season video? Off the top of my head I've come up with:

Stockdale's Sheff Weds penalty saves,
Murray's winner at Brum,
Hemed's equaliser at Brentford,
Knockaert skinning 3 players with his trickery,
Duffy's celebrations,
Sidwell's halfway line goal,
Baldock's against Reading
The crowd for Fulham away
The Norwich match
Tony Bloom being asked by that lad if he ever said to himself "I'm the man"
Chris Hughton's fist bumps
Dunk's cross-pitch passes to Bruno

All happy memories for me and I'm sure I've forgotten loads of other ones.

Pretty good selection that. I know you've identified one, but I'd pretty much go with all of Baldock's goals this season: top quality.

Shef Wed away - Dunk and Duffy were immense

Shef Wed home - especially the last ten minutes, great stuff

Finally a win away at Barnsley - some dire days out there in the past

Last minute penalty away at Burton

Not sure if you are talking about on the pitch, but seeing the comment about the lad asking Tony Bloom "if he ever said to himself "I'm the man" I'd certainly add Murray, Bruno etc visiting disabled childrens houses at Christmas surprising them with presents. Really nice touch and truly made me proud to be a supporter of such a well run club and players who actually care! I recently read a few posts about how Murray is "detached from reality" after yesterdays game. I'd challenge some of these critics to put themselves out like Murray did at Christmas and do the same!

Also the way the whole team supported Knockaert and made the trip to his Dad's funeral in France... The solidarity in the club at the moment is first class and pisses me off when you get the spoilt brat betwetters wanting everything to go their way, every game, and blame the club/players when things are not going their way!

I'm loving the fact we are not the draw specialists. We've had too many seasons where we should've won games but only managed a draw

I don't remember watching an Albion side with quite as much fight, passion, belief, togetherness ... all those cliches.

I think that's as much as we can ask really. Players that care as much as the fans do.

Silly old bat
Last night, strangely enough.
I listened to the match on Radio 5 Live, part of the commentary went like this, " This is a fantastic match between 2 very good teams, with skill not often seen in The Championship, i usually commentate on premier League games, but i am telling you now that this is football of the standard of top 7 or 8 in the Premier League and better than a lot of matches i have commentated on this season"
We were a little unlucky last night and i am still a bit pissed off, we got very tired towards the end and i am questioning our subs, but its not a moan, but to hear the above is good enough for me.
I understand the nerves etc, i am the same, but we really are a lot better than a lot of people seem to think we are.

GT49 said the same thing about the radio 5 commentators. We really are watching something special this season.

Fulham away. Especially chuckling at the bloke behind me shouting 'you f***ing Northern monkeys' for 90 mins, and of course the epic away support pounding the Craven Clackers into oblivion. :albion2::guns:

Anything and everything that involves Shane Duffy.

You just reminded me of something I meant to mention in my Reading match report, but forgot.

Thinking back to when big Shane pulled off his acrobatic goal-line clearance from Williams' header, David Stockdale must be KICKING himself that he didn't think to repay the 'robust' celebration / compliment!

(the ball still being in play, would have made this SLIGHTLY inadvisable, but on balance acceptable :thumbsup: )

It's been a great season, no matter how it finally pans out.

The thing that made me smile the most was probably seeing TB's reaction to the equaliser at Brentford, simply one of us.

It would have been amusing if Stocko had just walked up and chinned Shane.
