Sure we're out of the UEFA Cup and the Copa but it's not like we're in any sort of trouble, the teams which knocked us out were simply better on that day. You're lucky Villa stumbled a bit or they'd be in third by now, I don't the scousers but I can't see you guys winning anything either, you don't have the depth in your squad.

They've been winning God know how many useless <i>Coupes de la Ligue</i> in the past decade, and been doing sh** in Ligue 1. I'd say it's about time things changed in the Parisian capital.

They only won one game since the last poll (vs. Athletic Bilbao), drew against Betis in the league, Mallorca in the copa and Lyon in the champions' league, and lost against Espanyol and Atletico... Chelsea on the other hand have won all six games they played. Sure Barça are an impressive team, top of their league with a gap over Real Madrid, whilst Chelsea are only barely 2nd, some way behind Manchester, but over the last month, Chelsea have performed a lot better than Barça.

I love PSG and am thrilled with their progress in the league and UEFA Cup, but even I couldn't include them on the list right after seeing them destroyed by a third division side. On top of that, they look better today (post-poll) than they did even yesterday because they took all three points while Marseille, Bordeaux and Lyon stumbled. If they keep up the league performance, they'll be on my list next month for sure. Marco, the due date for these was immediately after the Rodez thrashing in the Coupe de France.
