Glorious Defeats - Do You Remember Any?

I've just watched the 2012 League Cup game against Liverpool - and I felt really proud of the lads. It didn't feel like a defeat, really. Do you remember games when you were really proud of the players - even though they had lost. The second Real Madrid game was one; there are many more.

That game against Liverpool is a very good example. Remember walking away from Wembley feeling disappointed but proud. That was our last season in blue as well.

The game at home to Chelsea in our last Premier League season was another one. It was a game we deserved to win and probably would have if it wasn't for a scandalous decision that went against us.
