Firstly a big congrats to Leicester! Superb victory over an experienced Sevilla team, displaying much of the application, fight and character that they have been rightly castigated for lacking throughout their domestic campaign.
It only took them 1 season to achieve what we've failed to do for the past 7 attempts.
The last time we managed to reach the quarter finals in the 2009/10 season we fielded the following team against a 22 year old Messi led Barcelona in a memorable (but not joyous for us) tie.
-----------------Almunia
Sagna----Vermaelen----Silvestre---Clichy
-------------Diaby----Denilson--
Walcott------Rosicky----Nasri
-----------------Bendtner
Subs: Fabianski, Eboue, Campbell, Traore, Merida, Eastmond, Eduardo
Seriously, for a team that prides itself on champions league qualification EVERY single year and boasts of being the ONLY team in the league that hasn't failed to participate in the competition in over a decade, THAT is the last team we fielded in the quarter finals of the competition.
That is how long we have been simply making up the numbers and not been regarded as a semi serious outfit in the competition.
You can only sit back and laugh.......
