Re: Champions League 2008/09 - Dima - 03-04-2009
Steven, pardon me, but what years had been used for computing the coefficients you gave us?
It does not look like it's a five-year period (04/05 through 08/09), as they do not agree with the coefficients last updated on Thu, 26 Feb 2009 23:40:24 CET at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/uefa/data/method4/trank2009.html">http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/uef ... k2009.html</a><!-- m -->
More meaningful might be UEFA Team Coefficients computed for 2008/2009.

Ashley Cole was recently arrested for swearing against the police. Yesterday he officially apologized for this. Cole began to swear when policemen approached him as they noticed he was drunk. He got away with fee.

This ranking system <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/03032009/58/champions-league-european-power-rankings.html">http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/03032009/ ... kings.html</a><!-- m --> that Steven posted is good because it takes into account domestic games as well as CL and UEFA Cup games. The only thing that I do not like about this system is that they do not give any points for a draw.
A while ago I heard Gerrard had beaten up somebody in a Merseyside bar.
Quote:Gerrard, 28, will appear in court on 20 March charged with assault and affray.
The England midfielder appeared before magistrates last month, where he said he intended to plead not guilty to the charges. The incident took place during the early hours of 29 December.
Re: Champions League 2008/09 - Faw_Peter - 03-09-2009
Rio Ferdinand, Manchester's defender may not play on Wednesday against Internazionale. He picked up an injury in the FA Cup quarter-final win over Fulham. The game is going to be a decisive one, so they can't afford their best players not to play. Who do you think is going to replace him?
Re: Champions League 2008/09 - M.Helen - 03-12-2009
Finally, Manchester United beat Internazionale 2:0. Nemanja Vidic and Cristiano Ronaldo scored at the beginning of each half.

Jose Mourinho, Internazionale's coach, is suspected of hitting a supporter in the face. The police is now investigating the case. Inter have denied the allegations, while United would only confirm that they are aware of the allegation
Re: Champions League 2008/09 - Benn - 03-13-2009
Liverpool heroes Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard are among the best players from Champions League last-16 games. - Manuel Almunia (Arsenal) is the best goalkeeper.
Re: Champions League 2008/09 - Faw_Peter - 03-15-2009
After injuring his right ankle playing for Bayern Munich, Miroslav Klose will almost certainly miss Germany's next two World Cup qualifiers. He will be out for two weeks. At this is a minimum term for recovery, says his doctor. It could last even longer. The coach believes IToni may be fit for the next match
Re: Champions League 2008/09 - Faw_Peter - 03-29-2009
After the spectacular victory over Manchester United, Liverpool keeps maintaing the first position in ranking with 23.02 points. It's followed by Barcelona and Bayern.

Barcelona - Bavaria 4:0!!!!!!!!
Liverpool - Chelsea 1:3
Manchester - Porto 2:2
Villarreal - Arsenal 1:1
Looks like Bavaria and Liverpool are not doing well... :?
Re: Champions League 2008/09 - Benn - 04-10-2009
Since Hidink is Chelsea's manager, this team makes wonders.
As for Bavaria, 4:0 is the most shameful defeat this team ever had in its history. Congratulations :lol:
Re: Champions League 2008/09 - Peach - 04-10-2009
Klinsmann, Bayern's coach, is now expected to retire by the end of this summer. It was a very shameful defeat.
"I have the strength to continue," he said.
"I will stand up to the criticism, even if it is not pleasant.
"I will not give up. Of course the defeat hurts and it was a lesson for us"
There are still left 24 points to win in the German Bundesliga, so Klinsmann can still make wonders.
Re: Champions League 2008/09 - Dima - 04-14-2009
Really amazing: Bavaria wins Sporting 13:1 on aggregate in the last 16, and now allows to be defeated 0:4 !
Of course, Barcelona is not Sporting, but sitll it is amazing.
Re: Champions League 2008/09 - Nathan - 04-16-2009
The match played between CHelsea and Liverpool proved that football is still alive. 8 goals were scored.
Liverpool took the first time with 2:0; in the second time Chelsea scored three goals in row taking over the domination. Later Liverpool scored again and 3 minutes before the end of time Chelsea scored again. Thus, Chelsea qualified into Champsions League quater final

Guus Hidink introduces a new strategy in his team. Thus, he will introduce a young under-21 England player, Michael Mancienne, in the match against Barcelona next week.
