... when 8 years ago today "there was a tidal wave on the Thames" "Hamburg will host the final, Fulham will play in it "
What a magical night. This, more even than the Juventus game, is the game that I go back to when I think of that cup run.
Agree Captain. And what a run it was: * 19 games played * 11 wins * Knocked out: Shakhtar, Juventus, Wolfsburg and Hamburg
It was also the first season that I started bringing my eldest lad to games. Mrs Captain maintains that I've cruelly condemned him to having peaked as a football fan at the age of 6, with everything that follows doomed to be an anticlimax. That said, he's been enjoying the last 23 games (and counting).
Happy for him to enjoy the game, and even a win. Hoping he'll be disappointed where it leaves Fulham in the table though. There, I've jinxed us now. Damn, damn, DAMN!!!
