They were much better the year after though and for me that team up until 2010 produced the best football we’ve had since the glory days. They suffered in other ways but I feel the football was worth the entrance fee, it’s just a shame we never had the money at the time to add the type of player we can get now, someone who could have edged us closer to the title.

Our progress in the CL at the time was good during this period as well.
I think I remember the CSKA Moscow game. Even if we missed a shit load of chances, I enjoyed watching the games. Certain games you just knew we were going to score but had no clue how many. Some the chances we created were better than the actual goals and contenders for goal of the season if they went in.

Most enjoyable game I've seen lately was that 2-0 victory over Basel. The football was free flowing and a sight to behold.
