I could understand it if was a season or two ago but times have changed somewhat there (it's not even a real comparison really is it? A better one would be saying its all well and good beatings Champions League teams but no good if you can't beat the likes of Gillingham). They were nowhere near the biggest club in the world and the Gallacher brothers were possibly the richest people to have walked through the door at the time. We will never be that level I know that but neither will 98% of all clubs including 3/4 of the Premier League itself so why the need to mock a side from 15 years ago seems odd. In fact they should praise as many clubs higher than us at the time have either dropped very low or gone entirely! I bet Portsmouth won't get the same disdain and rather absorb all the sympathy and admiration they can muster. I suppose it goes to show how much they view the Football League these days.

When did we play that game , 1999 ?? See garawa they looked in your dam magic file, found the game ,and boom ,here we are laughing stock on Briitish TV. God that panel must have been desperate having to dig a 16 year old game up,

Well, they are football writers so I suppose it's too much to expect them to be interested in anything beyond back page headlines. Some interesting comments though on why the "English" teams in the CL these days appear not to have much bottle.
