Reds Are The Best In Europe


Liverpool's famous 1-0 victory over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu propelled the Reds to the top of the official UEFA table for the first time since 1985. The system ranks clubs on their performances in European competition over the past five years.

UEFA co-efficient rankings:

1 - Liverpool FC (114.077)
2 - Chelsea FC (110.077)
3 - Barcelona (109.403)
4 - AC Milan (109.306)
5 - Arsenal FC (101.077)
6 – Sevilla FC (100.403)
7 - Manchester Utd FC (99.077)
8 - Bayern Munich (93.664)
9 – Olympique Lyonnais (90.576)
10 - Inter Milan (87.306)

Imagine what would happen to Man U if the Reds can reproduce this kinda form consistently in the English Premier League.

Deadliest Goalkeeper

Rogerio Ceni of Brazil scored twice on Sunday night to become the biggest-scoring goalkeeper in football history with now 64 goals.

Ceni, 33, first scored with a free kick and then on a penalty in a 2-2 draw of his club Sao Paulo at Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte.

Citing the ruling body FIFA, news reports said that Ceni's double gives him 64 goals overall, two more than Paraguay goalkeeper Jose Luis Chilavert (62) scored in his career.

The 16-times capped Ceni has been at the Sao Paulo club since 1990. He was voted Brazil's best goalkeeper three times by the Placar football paper and was Brazil reserve keeper at the 2002 and 2006 World Cup.


Scolari Sacked!

Luiz Felipe Scolari has been dismissed as manager of Chelsea with immediate effect. Brazilian Scolari, 60, was appointed last summer as the replacement for Avram Grant.

He led his country to World Cup glory in 2002 before taking charge of Portugal for Euro 2004, leading them to the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2006. Just shows that money can't buy you a title. Martin O'Neill with less than half the budget of Chelsea is showing them how it's done.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has now overseen the departure of four managers since his arrival in 2003. Assistant Coach Ray Wilkins will take charge of the team on a temporary basis.

Who do you think would take the job now?
