League Cup twice - 2001, 2003
Champions League once - 2005
UEFA Cup once - 2001
European Super Cup twice - 2001, 2005
Charity Shield twice - 2001, 2006

that's 10 trophies already.

In the same time the other top 4 teams have won

Arsenal - 7
Chelsea - 6
Man Utd - 6

...[text shortened]... s honours include European trophies which I believe no other English team has won this century.
Of which 4 are worth counting.

Is one of those the 2001 FA Cup? That must be one of the 4 worth counting surely? I mean you'd count it if you'd won it wouldn't you?

So near, yet so far. Thanks for the memories Mickey O.

I will alway remember Henchoz's excellent diving save.

Back to the thread subject.

I don't support any of the big 4, but here are some examples of all team's arrogance. I have to dig further into history for Man U.

Arsenal - henry incident and wenger's attittude to pardew in w ham defeat. Reflected badly on all.
Liverpool _ Benitez referring to Everton as a small team
Chelsea - Most recent Mourinho fingeron lip to Southgate as he dare question a decision
Man U - GAry Neville's celebration v LIverpool when Man U scored last season.

I'm pretty sure that comment was just to wind up the BS after they bored us to death the other week. Fully deserved though 😉

Don't think iot was a wind up. He meant it. What do these teams expect- You can't go to OT,SB, Annfield or Emirates and open up as chances are you would be anihilated and thats why I think it is arrogant.

BTW I have seen some very dull defensive performances in europe from Benitez's side but one year it paid off handsomely.

Seriously I don't think he would have said it about any other team apart from Everton.

Especially interesting considering his tactics in recent years against the top Premiership teams. Carling Cup final against Chelsea, anyone?
