Good team of course but I do have a soft spot for the team we had in the treble season.
[/quote]Obviously i love that side. They made history (which is dismissed too readily on here in my opine) but they never really threatened the league. We needed a result against Charlton to make top 4.
And in a head to head one off match i think Rafa's league team would hump Ged's.
Be a fucking shit game tho.

it was top 3 qualified for CL back then, i think we just sneaked it over leeds with 69 points. that season our league form was split in 2: disappointing until about march, when we lost 2-1 at anfield against CL rivals leeds, and then a truly brilliant, nerve-shredding, sequence of wins from then on to cling onto 3rd. i remember being sick with nerves every time we played, i was that desperate for CL football, especially after we threw it away the previous season.
who can forget the 3-2 at goodison? then there were gritty wins at coventry and bradford...i think we won about 8 in a row altogether. it was a great effort of mental strength; i never really loved houllier as our manager, but that team sure was tough.
[/quote]That Coventry away game was my first ever Liverpool away trip. We won 2-0 and Gary Mac didnt celebrate. It was awesome.

it was a great run. i've looked it up: it was 6 wins and a draw from the last 7 games, every single one under pressure. to put it into perspective, before the run we had 50 points from 31 games, an average of 1.6 points per game, or 61 points over a season: as bad as last year, basically.
