To cover the period of those transfers, I'm sure I read Stoke were the highest spenders in Europe over that time, so a time when the PL blew up with cash? That also covers a time when we had 3 new managers, so extra money is always found. It also spectacularly fails to identify the fact we were able to spend that was down to new owners wanted to make an impact, and the sale of at least half of that figure back.

We had to wheel and deal whilst Real kept adding and adding. They also spent a quarter of a billion assembling the team that Jose took over, so lets not pretend you can compare the spending of Jose versus Liverpool.

Henderson at £16m is a bargain, when will the idiots on twitter realize this

Danny Wilson, the best buy ever.

6 years ago today I was watching Cuellar put on the greatest defensive performance ever against the likes of Santana, Pazzini, Mutu, Montolivio and Veiri

Mathieu!!!!!!

Clattenburg has gone mad with power

Oh no Valencia

**** off Sevilla

Bloody Juve, how can you play out a 0-0 when you need to score to have any hope and the oppo are down to ten men, should be throwing literally everything at it

Get in, not quite sure how Benfica managed to only concede 1 over the two games, amazing results.. Benfica have 3 key players out of the final now, should be quite an even game.

My bf goes to watch Benfica in their stadium sometimes, I definitely want to go some day. :amazed: They have such a good dynamic imo

You should go watch Sporting instead

Sporting are great, there are some amazing young players in Portugal, shame it's not televised over here.

More of a Porto man myself actually really, went to see one of their games in the Algarve a few years back when they were playing Olhanense, strangely Porto fans were probably the majority there because more of the Algarve locals support Porto than Olhanense and its pretty much just accepted that most people who go will be supporting the away team

Just noticed Benfica are in three different finals now this month, could do the quadruple

They probably have the best youngsters in the league.. Quintero, Iturbe, Kelvin, Danilo & Mangala.. Portuguese teams always manage to find South American wonderkids

I have a soft spot for Sevilla so I'm glad they're in the final.

:nono: Sporting are okay but we like Benfica better. I was actually in Portugal when Benfica was playing against Sporting in February. :joker: The winds blew fibreglass all over the pitch and the game had to be postponed, we had to go back home after going to watch.

Think Valencia would have probably struggled a bit against Benfica so it's good for the final that Sevilla are in it, I'd have preferred Valencia in it but it should be a better game with these two.

Sporting>>>>

God bless them for blessing us with this man..
