Limbs!

[ziggys_human]

Best result?

 

[westwing]

Arsenal for me as it was our first game in The Prem, under the lights and on TV.
Also, for many a Bee, their first competitive game at the new stadium.
All these factors together, can never be repeated.

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

Best result Man City but best overall for result, atmosphere, occasion etc is Arsenal ?

 

[ziggys_human]

...so far...

 

[beeeehive]

Pep’s Man City, it’s like winning at Madrid or Barcelona.

 

[West Cliff Bee]

I know this is about the Prem but I was surprised to hear people describe the win against City as our biggest ever victory. Surely back in the 30's we had equally momentous first ever wins against the "big" clubs of that era many of whom had been Div. 1 established for 20 / 30 years? All forgotten now and different circumstances but just saying..

 

[Sultan]

Chelsea (A), European and World Champions, like lambs to the slaughter.

 

[Invipai]

Arsenal is my favourite, Man City was the biggest. (Man City may have been my best had I been there...)

Arsenal, new stadium, first game with fans in a year and a half, first Prem game. Beating them 2-0 when not knowing what to expect at all will long be one of my favourite games! Gave us the confidence we needed to push on for the campaign as well.

 

[Kingston Bee]

Man City away felt the biggest and proudest, just ahead of Chelsea. MC 16 straight wins at home, get in!

I wondered about that too but don't think we were in the division when the Arsenal team won three on the trot so maybe didn't face a team as dominant as Man City.

 

[horshambees]

Chelsea for me.
Been to the bridge 3 times to watch a Brentford side lose 0-5,0-4,0-4.
Home games 2-8,2-2,0-1.
Youth Cup games and a testimonial I know,but.

 

[BFC1997]

Arsenal was an incredible moment. Don’t think the gravity of that or the atmosphere for the game can be beaten unless we win the Premier League, FA Cup, League cup, or win a big European tie. And even then, I’m not sure about all of those.

But from a footballing perspective, there are much more impressive results against stronger opposition since. The wins away at Chelsea and Man City are maybe the best, and beating United & Ronaldo 4-0 (with that being the scoreline after 30 odd minutes) was pretty special.

 

[BFC1997]

Liverpool 3-3 game was great because it was full throttle, no holding back from either side and we went toe-to-toe. I remember thinking afterwards that for many of our players, and for Thomas Frank, the sky is the limit. There was no inferiority complex after that for me.

 

[Kingston Bee]

Man City away felt the biggest and proudest, just ahead of Chelsea. MC 16 straight wins at home, get in!

Forgot to say we beat one of the top teams in the world with a near perfect performance, no smash and grab. And unlike the MU game where MU were awful presenting us with some of the goals, MC were top of their game and gave us nothing.

 

[Cham]

Man City away .. the Arsenal team was weak from covid... United squad was adjusting under a new manager .. Chelsea away was my pick until Saturday.. the XI we played on the weekend contained players that will be in an all time Prem team of the year down the line.

 

[BEEcool]

The Arsenal game needs putting in a box of it own, independent to any of these types of debate because it was utterly unique and bonkers. The outpouring that came with it being the first 'proper' game post Covid, new stadium, reuniting with old acquaintances, first ever game in the Premier League, opening game of the Premier League season, Friday night, live on TV - it genuinely felt like the eyes of the world were on us that night (bit far fetched but you catch my drift). I still have vivid memories of many different moments from that evening that will stay with me for a very long time.

Anyway, back to the best 'limbs rather than best ever Brentford game or result etc. Although I wasn't there (gutted), the footage of the Man city one looked incredible. You see lots of 'limbs' clips online but there are very few where you get that explosion effect where it looks like a bomb has gone off under the stand at the moment the ball goes in. I voted West Ham because I was at that one, near the front and completely out of character, found myself getting swept up in the charge down the aisle like a man child and it was great fun.

perfectly summed up

 

[Griffingreen]

City are probably bigger than Chelsea, but then 4-1 is better than 2-1, can't decide, so I'll agree with the 2-0 over Arsenal

 

[coconino]

Arsenal for me as it was our first game in The Prem, under the lights and on TV.
Also, for many a Bee, their first competitive game at the new stadium.
All these factors together, can never be repeated.

Same here, our first Prem match was something special. And as you say, my first match at LR, and me and my son being in the last seats next to the away block made the win even sweeter

 

[Stanley]

Arsenal: most emotive
Chelsea: best footballing performance (ever?)
Man City: Best achievement (ever?)

I can't really call which is the proudest/ most amazing, but Saturday was probably the most unbelievable and unexpected.

 

[Rob-BEE]

Man City, overall, is the best result in my opinion.

Liverpool also sticks out for me because they were flying and they actually played well in that match, and yet we still got a point. Was also probably the best game (in terms of quality and entertainment) we've been involved in since we got promoted.

 

[James30]

Has to be Man City away they had there best 11 out there we still had a few injuries and norgaard back for the season half they have lost in 16 and are the champions.

 

[tw18bee]

Liverpool 3-3 game was great because it was full throttle, no holding back from either side and we went toe-to-toe. I remember thinking afterwards that for many of our players, and for Thomas Frank, the sky is the limit. There was no inferiority complex after that for me.

In terms of a pure spectacle the Liverpool game was the best. Such a ding dong battle and I'd felt like I'd run a marathon at the end, so lord knows how the players felt. Imagine if Toney wasn't offside to make it 4-3...

 

[cheshirebee]

How blessed are we that we’ve had all these amazing games.
For all the reasons mentioned above, Arsenal was just the best of all nights, truly magical and deeply emotive. Never mind the result, just seeing the teams walk out to a thunderous Hey Jude with my two girls alongside me was probably the single most emotional moment I’ve had as a Bee. Cried like a baby.
Saturday was probably the best football performance and result, and incredibly enjoyable, but as we all know football is about so much more than football.

 

[nocoat]

If it was measured solely on “limbs” then it’s Man City away then reading away in that order - fact with added close case true

 

[Herbert]

As it stands, that team is yet to be bettered as in highest position finished.

But, a different world we are certainly in now. The gulf between us and man c, us say definitely out best ever league result.
Said it after the chelsea game last season, this has to better it

 

[wibs]

Badly worded question

Proudest Arsenal, that's when we arrived in the nation's conscience

Most amazing result , Man City, no-one realistically saw it coming.

 

[sonofabee]

Wish I’d joined those at City on Saturday and without doubt the best combined performance and result but to be honest the first game in LR vs Arsenal will never be bettered for me.
Everything was a special first.



Sat in our great new seats for life or expulsion with a cracking group of lifelong Bees mates
A packed, incredibly atmospheric ground
The result
The happiness and celebrations
The craic in The Dug Out and realisation we are Prem league and deserved to be here

 

[BEEcool]

Badly worded question

? Indeed. I lost track halfway through writing my response as to whether we were voting/discussing (a) our best ever 'limbs' (b) our proudest result (c) our most amazing result or (d) our best result

 

[Freebee]

That was a really tough choice but i have to say Arsenal at home.

Even though Man city is probably the biggest in our history Arsenal was the one where we said we're here and we deserve to be.
It's like having plenty of gf's over the years,some more forgetable than others,but you never forget the one you lost your virginity to

Good point. I assume its arms waving above your head. Imagine the lively bit of FFD when all the dads and grandads start moving. In my case it's to help me stand up!

There was a photo posted here a while back which summed it up perfectly, can’t find it now and I’m not even sure it was us anyway, but a pic of a pile of blokes leaping and falling over seats in a mad heap.

Thanks, some clown fell over our seats when Ivan scored on Saturday taking out my girlfriend and the woman in front of us. Lucky to escape with bruises and shock. Great to go crazy in moments like this but respect the safety of those around you.

 

[Billy Nylon]

It’s Man City for me. Look at the punishment they’ve dished out to some this season …a 98th minute winner is the stuff of dreams, and what a goal.
They’re all special results to be fair .
On a personal level the Man U game will always
be a special one for me as it was my son’s 21st birthday. What a present ? and he says he’ll never forget that day.
Our unpredictable nature does make for truly amazing , life affirming moments when it all goes to plan……hence limbs.

 

[RAF_Patto]

Thread title is confusing. Came here to try and get a new leg and now I've got to choose the best result in the PL?

 

[Paul_T]

They've all got something to treasure. As others have eloquently written, the game against Arsenal was magical, what a beautiful way to properly bed ourselves into not just the new stadium but also into the Prem. And the feeling of elation when Sergi scored was an absolutely magnificent feeling and is a moment I have watched many times since.

West Ham away was good, nice last minute winner and crazy scenes but that felt more like other away games over the years and the stadium is pony so whilst good, not quite up there with the rest.

Liverpool at home was breathless and dizzying, a great great result but tainted slightly for me by Klopp being a completely ungracious winker in defeat (unlike Guardiola on Saturday). And we should have won it with that last chance so almost felt let down that we'd not managed to nick it off them. Great great night all the same.

Chelsea away was completely unreal, bumped into friend from my local pub in the ground and on the tube on the way home, we couldn't hold a conversation cos what we'd just witnessed didn't seem possible. Just kept staring at each other and laughing. Bumping into some big old Chelski lunks at the tube after who we thought might kick off but who were actually very complimentary about how we had thoroughly deserved the victory added a nice little gloss.

United at home that sunny afternoon is hallucinatory, after an afternoon on the sauce, the temperature and sun beating down giving things such a sparkle and glow. Sticking one over CR7 and Eriksen added to the fun and a grand way to settle into the second season up top.

Should add in the tonking of Leeds as that was particularly delicious after they way they celebrated winning at the end of last season, that was thoroughly enjoyable.

But Saturday was off the scale. We're playing a team that are steam-rollering everyone they meet (almost 4 goals a game on average at home), with a striker scoring goals for fun (18 goals in 12 appearances), we've just lost to Gillingham, they haven't lost a match since the July Community Shield, and we travel more in hope than expectation. We turn up on the day and play with such confidence, we nullify them, we have chances to score before we do, and then concede just before half time so everyone is nervous and thinking have we blown the chance? And then we simply carry on and score such a magnificent break-away goal, the collective intake of breath as Wissa squares for JDS and we all think he's undercooked the pass before Josh collects and drives and beats his man for that cross on a plate for Ivan to tuck it away and then bedlam. Utter glorious bedlam.

Do we have a new entry for this poll?

another, lol

 

[Garybaldbee]

This used to be so easy. Peterbrough, Blackburn, Man City and Fulham (the '92 game). But now? Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Man United, Liverpool twice and West Ham (last season) ?

I'm confused.

Man City befit the title of this thread. I couldn't go unfortunately but had mates asking me countlessly 'is that you' when that nutter/legend leaped from row f to join in the celebrations with Ivan and the chaps.
