He also said that he had a soft spot for the club, stating that they're (historically) known for playing the right way.

He's either got a very good memory or he's talking out his arse. My guess is the latter.

He's probably talking about the period between 2007-09 when we looked like CL candidates and scored 71 goals in one season.

Yeah, we were brilliant at free kicks and corners, at least for a while. Still couldn't pass wind though.

I'm sure a lot of people would give their left arm for us to be at least half as good at set pieces now as we were then.
