ESPNs Football Club Power Rankings

Interesting take on the top ten clubs in the world. We have made the list at #8 above #9 Benfica and #10 Barcelona. Also odd to see that City didn't make the top 10.
Makes for interesting debate as the season wears on.

Totally agree.

Sorry, I just thought it was an interesting topic to discuss, especially with us being considered in the top 10 in the world. I will make sure in the future to only post articles from forum approved writers. 

It doesn't make us the 8th best team in Europe in general, just basically one of the most in form teams and dangerous teams which is matched by our results and goals. Doesn't the NFL do something similar in terms of a power rankings? Doesn't mean much of course but simply highlights the current performance of a team. Either way, it feels good to be getting considered and receiving recognition.

Exactly, on form alone for the most part, but brings up a very good debate I think....our current starting 11 I feel could compete with just about any team in the world. Now our squad isn't quite as deep as some of those other teams, but starters against starters we can field a pretty dangerous team.

Shaka Hislop?! Would have made more sense if it was Ian Hislop!
