3 Chelsea 2006
4 Liverpool 1979/1980

What about Anderlecht of the seventies. They didn't do too bad I think.Even though they had a great team in the 1970s, Anderlecht only won two titles, in 1972 and 1974.

7 Liverpool 1991
8 Liverpool 1969Don't like this list. The Chelsea team of 2006, the Liverpool teams of 1979, 80 and 88 and Leeds squad of 1969 were quality sides but the other teams shouldn't be on the Top 10 of a list regarding great teams.




Greek League:

1. Olympiakos 1997-present
2. Panathinaikos 1970
3. Panathinaikos 1995-96
4. AEK Athens 1992-94
5. PAOK Salonika 1985

And a European Cup

[Bertje]

Two, I think.

[dor02]

And a European CupThey won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1976 and 1978. They were a great side but I had based my list mostly on league titles.

Here's some stats on Anderlecht's wins:

http://galeb.etf.bg.ac.yu/~mirad/Archive/CWC1976.HTM
http://galeb.etf.bg.ac.yu/~mirad/Archive/CWC1978.HTM

My list would be thus if I didn't focused on league titles:

1. Anderlecht 80s
2. Anderlecht 70s
3. Club Brugge 70s
4. Mechelen late 80s-early 90s
5. Club Brugge late 80s-early 90s

[lanman]

Don't like this list. The Chelsea team of 2006, the Liverpool teams of 1979, 80 and 88 and Leeds squad of 1969 were quality sides but the other teams shouldn't be on the Top 10 of a list regarding great teams.

It's simply based on goals scored and goals conceded against league average - it does not take into account the manner in which they played or success on the European stage. For what it's worth, I too don't like the list.

Argentina Championship:

1. River Plate 40s
2. Boca 30s
3. Independiente 70s
4. River 50s
5. River 90s

Brazilian League (1971 onwards):

1. Sao Paulo early 90s
2. Flamengo early 80s
3. Santos 00s
4. Palmeiras 90s
5. Internacional 70s

NSL (Australian League from 1977-2004):

1. South Melbourne 90s
2. Melbourne Knights 90s
3. Adelaide City 92-94
4. Sydney City Hakoah 1977-82
5. Marconi 88-89

3. Independiente 70s

Bastards.

[Gregoriak]

Bastards.

Ajax still beat them.

[Bertje]

But they were exactly the reason we didn't join the year before, or the year after. Gremio in '95 wasn't too nice either. And then they say Italians are cheats. ;)

Fun, though. They kick our best player out of the match and then get beaten by a youthplayer.

Eredivisie
1. Ajax early 1970s
2. Ajax mid 1990s
3. Feyenoord early 1970s
4. PSV late 1980s
5. Ajax late 1980s

I think AZ of the early 1980s could make fifth spot
