They loved him for trying, tbf.

Unlike Souness, who didn't bother and basically hated the country

Haven't seen it but didn't he once say he was basically standing there shouting 'goal-o....ball-o' ?

That may have been Big Fat Ron actually.

"gran victoria" and some more.pretty short interview. But funny

We have definitely underachieved in Europe, so many missed opportunities. 2002 still rankles, I think I kicked the tv in that night.

I literally kicked my telly in after the Porto game

Was not long after moving in with herself who's now my missus, she was terrified, hadn't seen what I was like after losing a game til then, poor dear.

Look at Bayern ffs - losing like they did in '99 and taking a penalty shootout defeat to that Chelsea side in their own stadium. Nobody is ever fully satisfied.

I do think Fergie might feel he underachieved a little in Europe, but everyone has their regrets in the competition.

Since 1967, we have won as many European Cups as Madrid, 2 more than Inter, 1 more than Juve and 1 less than Barca

It's not that bad really especially as all those sides have out spent us by a significant amount

Who won most of theirs in the era of that formidable European adversary "Bye" and the back pass rule.

Was a great performance, tbf. Remember it well etc.

Big Time Charlie getting the absolute runaround by Savićević. Forza Crvena Zvezda Beograd. NQAT.

The war in the Balkans basically destroyed Red Star for a generation - just a year after that game virtually all of their stars had gone
