Two 0-0's

One in 2004, the Maik Taylor double wonder save, Man City were just mid-table fodder back then so doesn't count with respect to the 'Big 6 Question'

Then the 0-0 in 2010 when they'd spent all their money, they won the league that year, but couldn't beat us home or away.

I'm confused about this.
Chelsea won the League in 2009-10. They beat us at Stanmford Bridge.
Manchester United won it in 2010-11 They beat us at Old Trafford

We drew twice against Manchester City in 2010-11, but they finished 3rd.
Their first PL title was in 2011-12, by which time we'd been relegated.

The 0-0 in 2009 is where McFadden missed a pen

We had a couple of entertaining 0-0s with Chelsea as a I recall.

Didn’t Tebily pull off a worldy goal line clearance in both?

Yeah, the 0-0 on a midweek night, the first team to stop the 'New Chelsea' scoring

The 0-0 at the Bridge with the Tebily clearance, on a Sky Super Sunday

The 0-0 early kick off in the year we went down, we nearly nicked it through Heskey

Up the 0-0s

(We also had a 1-1 at their place which nearly broke their very long unbeaten home record, we went 0-1 up fairly late)

We were unlucky with a 0-0 v Chelsea in 2009-10 I think at home. Had a legit goal wrongly chalked off for offside.
Then won 1-0 the next year, but got battered for 89 minutes after scoring very early.

We should have won there in 2012 in the cup. Redmond missed a great chance 1v1 right at the end.

Not to mention the 0-0 at Highbury near the end of the invincibles season.

As I remember it, Clinton Morrison missed a sitter.

As a premier league team, I recall:

Beating Spurs a couple of times, notably the Forssell hat-trick in 2008 and McLeish’s first game at WHL the same season.

Beating City at St Andrews the same season again, I think Zarate scored a couple.

Beating Liverpool a few times in the Bruce years.

Beating Arsenal on the last day of the 2005 season.

Beating Chelsea, I think in 2011? Bowyer may have scored?

But I cannot recall any wins over Man Utd. Did we win one that I’m overlooking? I remember the draw at St Andrews when Grainger scored and then walked off into the sunset, and I remember Jamie Clapham scoring in a 2-2 draw. But memory ends there.

Smashing Spurs 1-3 at their place in the Worthington Cup in 2000 (they were the holders) still ranks in my top 3 Blues away performances

Completely forgot about that 1-0 win against Chelsea. The games that stick out in my head were the first season in the prem we played them away and we had a big screen at St Andrews to watch it. Then the 0-0 in the season we had that long unbeaten streak and then Chelsea ended it I think away from home

John Terry blocking Martin Taylor so Huth could score the only goal in the cup and Tebily scoring a perfectly legitimate goal that even the whole of the Sky team at half time couldn’t identify in another game (he was behind the ball when it was kicked).

Is there a video anywhere of the Bowyer-Chelsea game, when Foster saved multiple great chances?
P.S. I don't live near Philly anymore.

Can't seem to find highlights of that anywhere. I remember following the score as a kid and thinking it was an amazing result.

Still my favourite display by a Blues keeper. Incredible
Alive. Early starter. Enricher of lives
