ok mine is based at performances in own leagues and eurocups
1. Manchester Utd- doing great in both areas
2. Galatasaray - even doing greater in their domestic league haven't lost since their first match
3. Barcelona - probably the best team playing in europe, but is doing not too well in the Premiera Division
4. Chelsea - same as man utd, only a bit less at home
5. Bayern Munchen- did great vs Real but so uninspiring at some matches
6. Lazio - Not giving up in Italy for the title and doing well in the CL
7. Arsenal - not a real succes in the PL
8. Leeds - surprise of the season
9. Celta - good job trashing Juve
10. Real - don't belong here actually, are playing a terrible season

Hagi how the hell can you out Arsenal ahead of Leeds based at performances in own leagues and eurocups!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?
Arsenal havent performed well in PL
they didnt play well in Champions League and got knocked out and have played well so far in the UEFA cup....
whereas Leeds have performed brilliantly in the PL and in europe where they have had to battle their way from the first round unlike Arsenal!!
And seriously Gala may be good but he Turkish league isnt exactly strong......

you can't say Leeds were always like this!
the teams I named are playing at the top for a long period so you can't call Leeds a top team. Arsenal, as I said was doing bad in the PL but they're very convincing in Europe.

1. Man Utd - they're starting to play well right when it matters
2. Bayern Munich - great team, a lot of people are looking past them w/ regards to the CL, which they shouldn't
3. Juve - playing really well
4. Barca - can they win the Primera, though?
5. Lazio - looks like Juve will win Serie A
6. Feyenoord - very under-rated team, could upset in CL
7(tie). Leeds - 2nd in Prem, playing very well in UEFA Cup
7(tie). Arsenal - gave up on the PL a long time ago, but they are playing really well in Europe
9. Chelsea - I though they would make a run in the PL, but are playing surprisingly well in CL
10. Galatasaray - we all know of them, but we don't know about them... and they are good

How the hell is Juve ranked so high here? Being humiliated by Celta Vigo isn't THAT impressive.
1. Manchester United - you can't argue with success, 1st in PL and in the toughest group in ECC.
2. Bayern Munich - same. Doing extremely well in the tough German league and looking fantastic in Europe.
3. Barcelona - well, same thing.
4. Lazio
As to the rest, you can argue about their ranking. Juve? Arsenal? It's really kind of hard to compare.
