Who's put 50p in the dickhead ?
I thought it was 3.
2x v Chelsea too - and all in the Champions league. Did that in less than 5 years and despite the asset strippers. In 2009 despite beating Real 5:0 on Aggregate Chelsea in the quarters when we blew it at home 1:3 at Anfield and the 4:4 in West London. We were a genuine force under Rafa in Europe especially. Another case of - just a bit more on financial front and a lot more in the cabinet.
I think you may be right - subject to correction -
04/05 we reached the Final (semi-final en route)
06/07 we reached the Final (semi-final en route)
07/08 we are knocked out by Chelsea, the year Riise gets the late own goal in the first leg
09/10 we get knocked out of the Europa League by Atletico Madrid
Correct too.. Forgot about that.. Europa league though.. Fulham made the final - Danny Murphy played for them en route.
Lost to Atletico in the final...Probably why we got the Owl..
This was the 2009 Quarter final I believe Sid
Edit: NO I am wrong - we just lost 3:1 at home in 2009 (bummer).. The late own goal was indeed (94th sodding minute) the 2008 semi Sid - quite right.
Lost track of how many of those massive knockout games we had to face Chelsea in. Probably the toughest opponent to have over 2 legs for us. Look at the players they had.
SO - those swines and their armada of talent were all that stood between us and 4 Champions League semi finals in 5 seasons... Wow.. Rafael Benitez...
