The 2001 season was brilliant, we won lots....but it has to be said we were fortunate. ( League Cup on pens against Birmingham, Uefa Cup Final on a golden goal against Alaves, FA Cup final after being outplayed by Arsenal( Owen scoring two goals out of nothing )...we certainly had our luck with us that year.

You won't change your mind about Benitez, just like i won't change mine....but if he does get the boot then i fear for us, there is no other TOP manager out there capable of managing us IMO (that's available)
Im crazy for stating facts, we won more under houllier fact, and were closer to winning the league fact, regardless of luck, results are whats important, not how we played, id rather we won 1-0 every week and played badly, than played well and drew or lost, im not asking for much, just to see £150 millions worth of improvement. you said houllier made some shocking transfers ?, what would you call garcia, josemi, morientes, zenden, nunez, kromkamp, gonzalez palleta etc money well spent ?. in all honesty, wether benitez or houllier, we have been a mile away for years, with the occasional bit of ' hope '. they have both wasted a lot of money, but houllier had more to show for it.
