And get us up he did but I don’t think we played with the same enthusiasm and abandon until our Premier League final fling at Old Trafford, which did leave a ‘what could have been’ feeling had we shown the same attitude during the season.
I totally agree. Wonderful football. I agree with the rest of your post except the Old Trafford result. But, in a futile attempt to keep this about football as the thread is going off-piste somewhat - here's something to smile (or cry) over. The real highlight (not shown) was seeing John Terry rip his Aston Villa shirt off in anger as he went down the tunnel. Ah, the memories.
