      I remember being pissed off in the first half because Garcia should have had a penalty when Nesta handled in on the ground, but instead they went down the other end and scored their second.

      I vividly remember being very, very angry at that as well. By the way, I thought at the time Luis Garcia was one of the few players that showed up for the 1st half. He was trying his very best and that probably should have seen us win a penalty.

      Garcia was never a consistent player for us and seeing his career as a whole he was never even close to being on a world class level, but man, he really loved the big games. That goal against Juve still makes me emotional!

      so if we had got the penalty they wouldnt of scored and when Gatuso brought down Gerrard he should have been sent of there was no need for all that drama

      That's what a top class manager can do for a team , get the best out of a player when it counted the most .

      was listening to City Talk and the fans recalingl the night in the Attaturk Stadium. Still brings a huge lump to the throat and a tear to the eye it just meant so much to so many people.
      Whatever happens we will always have Istanbul.
