Not a single win over our the scum in any competition in over eight years. The year before we'd played them in the cup semi and threw away a two goal lead at home and then lost the second leg to their reserves. They were top of the league whilst we were struggling in the bottom half, Jol had been sacked and we'd already lost to them twice already that season. We'd then played well in the away leg but let in a careless late equaliser and it looked like a familiar story.

And then this happened:



What a fucking night that was...

What a night, that through ball by Lennon to Keane was a thing of beauty.

Great night. Wouldn't start singing about Wembley until the 5th went in. Only then I was sure they couldn't win

When Adebayor scored in about the 80th minute I was absolutely convinced they were going to score 3 more goals before the final whistle

Going to this game was my 19th birthday present. Best present ever. Time flies.

What a fucking night indeed.

What a wonderful night. We had seats right next to the away end in the west stand, it just got more beautiful

What a memory after years of being served up shite, watched it laying on the floor of a hospital ward in the middle of the night iin Hong Kong, after my young un picked up a nasty virus. Cheered me up a bit.

After a slow start under Levy, we've come a long way...

Everyone was stood on their seats on the shelf by midway through the second half... Incredible atmosphere.
