Easy rank the teams in order- this is how i see it, regardless of the bookies "on paper" rankings, in terms of european experience, strength of team, home advantage, depth of squad, form, big match players which all in all amounts to best chance of winning it- my rankings- 1)Man utd 2)Chelsea 3)AC Milan 4)Liverpool 5)Valencia 6)Bayern 7)Roma 8)PSV
on european form 1 - Liverpool 2 - AC 3 - Chelski 4 - Bayern 5 - Man utd 6 - Valencia 7 - PSV 8 - Roma This is based purely on how they perform in EUROPEAN matches - not league or cup
Anyone of the 8 can go all the way this year.Theres some clubs left there with a very rich history involved. And Chelsea
On champions league form 1)Chelsea 2)AC Milan 3)Bayern Munich 4)Liverpool 5)Man Utd 6)Valencia 7)Roma 8)PSV
<div class="quote_poster">dan Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">chelsea last 14 games- won 12 drawn 2 liverpool last 14 games- won 7 drawn 2 lost 5 </div> How are them stats true when you drew against Barcelona, Porto, Lost to Bremen?
This season's Champions League results: Chelsea Win - 5 Loss - 2 Draw - 1 Liverpool Win - 5 Loss - 2 Draw - 1 This season Liverpool and Chelsea have had the same amount of wins, losses and draws. Although, in my maybe biased opinion, Chelsea have had the harder games ... Barcelona and Porto being the two main games. Where as Liverpool have only had Barcelona. (By the way, Chelsea drew and won against Barca, where as Liverpool won and lost )

And of course people will fear us, we won it two years ago with Rafael Benitez, with a team then, what pretty shit. And just think about what he can do now, also, who knocked you out in the semi-final 2 years ago?
You have more experience in Europe? What are you basing that on exactly? Just because you've won it 5 times doesn't count as experience, the players you had in the 80's are very different to those you have now. And is it just me ... or does every Liverpool fan live in the past and have to mention the fact that they beat Chelsea? Get over it! And get over the fact you won it 2 years ago. This season, in Europe, Chelsea have been the better team ... But what the hell do i know? I'm a Chelsea fan ...

The experience your'e probably thinking about spawny is the fact that Liverpools players have been to more rounds than Chelsea, because we have recently been to a FINAL where as only a couple of your team has. And don't forget the fact that the only reason any of your players have that experience is with OTHER teams. So I think we have a little bit more experience in the later rounds and know how to win a semi in europe.
Good ol' PSV, knocking Arsenal out, thanks for that. I really didn't want to see Barce there, but thanks to Liverpool for that. But, i'd say the biggest threat would be Man Utd. I'd hate it if Man Utd did a double by winning the Premiership and the CL.
