There are points to discuss and that are disagreed on, which is rarely the case when we win,

It means nothing to me in terms of a sequence of results no, this season's form does mean something to me as each game is very relevant to the next. As for the CL qualifcation, yes we qualified last season, I neither enjoyed our games then nor cared if we qualified at the time.
Ozim, there is no point arguing the toss with with these chaps, they can go on talking in circles far longer than you can. What is anybody's point arguing that we were great against Bayern whence lost the tie. It was the same B.S. when we beat Milan in Milan. WE LOST THE BLOODY TIE.!!
There is no glory in losing. It reminds me of the joke the Scots like to make about how they were the true World Champs because they were the 1st team to beat England after 1966. The only difference is that the Scots know it's a joke. Some however on GW strut about on the web saying how brilliant we actually are.
The only truth is that it is only on the pages of GW that such arguments can be made. I dare any of these Muppets to go on any public forum or in the midst of other fans and make such puerile arguments.
We haven't won anything yet. We haven't won the CL in 17 attempts. This loss may be a blimp, but I see no reason to be making any vainglorious pronouncements on our prospects. The reason we have beenknocked out of the 16 round these last few seasons is that we always come second in the group. 2nd place e will inevitably mean meeting Barca or Real or Bayern et al. We needed to get a draw at worst.
It was a bad result , and we have not yet proved we are a great team yet.
