FWIW I think grit and determination overcame talent and flair that year. Doesn't matter how you did it, or who was in the team at the time.
You won the ECL.
That's true, and applies equally to Chelsea winning it in May. But I am not deluded enough to believe we were remotely close to being the best team in Europe at the time.You won the ECL.

If you look at every cup we've won since 2001 we've been very, VERY lucky.
Exactly why cups are fun, but why the league means everything. No-one's won the Premiership being lucky.
Absolutely how I see it. Cup competitions are brilliant. As we have seen recently, they have a magic about them which means an underdog CAN do well, mainly because it is 'at that moment'. Have a good day, or a bad day, and you are either in or out. The league is the long haul, and whomever wins it does so deservedly. That is why in my mind a league win is 2 or 3 times the worth of a cup win. Of course that is not to say I wouldn't bite your hand off for a cup win, because I would. I've been sharpening my teeth and everything. Exactly why cups are fun, but why the league means everything. No-one's won the Premiership being lucky.
