BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Statistically speaking I would not be so surprised to see us so far up there, but surely the likes of Inter and Man United, national champions, would be higher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I think that is based on our European performances, and given the fact we've got to the Semi Final 3 times in 4 years it's hardly surprising we're now ranked top. Teams that have got to the final haven't done as well in other years which is why us steady eddies are top. Amusing that Newcastle are near the top of the table.

manpe 10,861 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Of course we are the best, you didn't know that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan 1 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Of course we are the best, you didn't know that ? Of course my heart knows that but my head wasn’t so sure! But yeah like Elliot said I think it’s about our consistency. Not only in Europe, but also in the Premiership as well… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I don't think it has anything to do with domestic games, just European games. What you see there are the official UEFA coefficients, although I think perhaps they have been worked out by someone else following UEFA's formulae.

pablo814 1 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 We have so much talent that it is no surprise. We do well every year, even if we don't bring home the silverware... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
