Motorists in
Manchester and Merseyside experience greatest drops in car insurance
IT'S great news for
motorists in Manchester and Merseyside as they have enjoyed the
greatest year on year decreases in car insurance prices compared to
any other area of the UK (-19%), with premiums falling by �184 to
stand at �808 on average.
Drivers up and down the country will also be celebrating, as figures
from the latest Confused.com Car Insurance Price Index, in
association with Towers Watson, reveal that premiums are falling
across the board. Dramatic year on year price drops of 15% have
brought the average cost of a comprehensive premium down to �579.
Though it's a case of 'everyone's a winner' for UK
motorists, these widespread price drops have been particularly
notable for drivers in who live in Manchester and Merseyside.
Drivers in Wigan are enjoying cheaper average comprehensive car
insurance premiums than any other area in Manchester and Merseyside,
paying just �622.
Comprehensive insurance prices in Manchester/ Merseyside
Other areas in Manchester and
Merseyside that have been impacted by these ongoing price drops
include Oldham, where motorists have experienced the greatest yearly
price drop in their car insurance. These motorists are now paying on
average �926 for their comprehensive car insurance premiums, seeing
a year on year decrease of 23%, equating to a price difference of
Yet no-one in the Manchester and Merseyside area seems to be feeling
the benefits quite as much as younger drivers. In particular, young
women (17 to 20) are experiencing a huge annual price decrease of
�1,060, as their average comprehensive premiums now stand at �2,180.
In fact, females of this age group living in Manchester and
Merseyside have seen their average comprehensive insurance premiums
nearly halve (41%) since the price peak they experienced in Q1, 2013
(�3,705 v �2,180).
Males of the same age group saw a similar year on year price saving
of �1,023, paying on average �2,605 for their comprehensive car
insurance, equating to a decrease of 28%. This contrasts hugely with
what these males were paying at the price peak they experienced in
Q4, 2011, where on average they were paying a whopping �5,724 for
their comprehensive car insurance; a decrease of more than half
(54%).In contrast, the smallest annual price saving has been experienced
by females aged over 70, who have seen a �63 price drop in the cost
of their car insurance, where the average price comes in at �447.
Biggest comprehensive insurance decreases year on year by age and
comprehensive insurance decreases year-on-year by age and gender
While both male and females across the whole of the
UK have also benefitted from reduced premiums, in Manchester and
Merseyside women have fared better than men. Females in this area
are experiencing a year on year price saving of �209 compared to a
saving of �164 for men for their comprehensive car insurance.
However, despite car insurance prices falling significantly
throughout Manchester and Merseyside, motorists in this region of
the UK are still paying a significant �209 more than the national
average, which now stands at �579. Manchester and Merseyside still
ranks as one of the most expensive UK areas for comprehensive car
insurance premiums (�808), outranked only by Inner London, where the
average price comes in at �947.
Gemma Stanbury, head of car insurance at Confused.com says that:-
"It is great news for motorists in the Manchester and Merseyside
area, as they have enjoyed the greatest year-on-year decreases in
comprehensive car insurance premiums compared to any other area of
the UK. In the last year, motorists in Manchester and Merseyside
have experienced significant year on year decreases of 19%, bringing
the average premium down to �808 for this region. Motorists living
in Oldham in particular have seen fantastic savings, where drivers
have experienced the greatest year on year price drop of �270. The
cheapest area for comprehensive car insurance in the Manchester and
Merseyside region is Wigan, where motorists are paying an average of
�622, which is �304 cheaper than those living in near by Oldham.
Young motorists are also reaping the rewards in this area, with
17-20 year olds seeing the biggest year on year savings for the
their car insurance, making car insurance far more affordable for
young drivers. However, despite these huge price drops motorists
living in Manchester and Merseyside, are still paying �209 more than
the national average. We would urge motorists to not just accept
their renewal premium price, but to shop around."

FoodCycle seeking new partner charity in Liverpool to help reach out
to people at risk of food poverty
ON 8 July 2014, FoodCycle
Liverpool, a charity that provides nutritious community meals for
people in need, announced that they are seeking a new partner to
work with in the City. FoodCycle reclaims surplus food that would
otherwise be wasted and uses these ingredients to create healthy, 3
course meals for people who are struggling to get by.
Each FoodCycle Hub serves around
1,500 3 course meals annually, using around 1,800kg of food that
would otherwise be wasted. FoodCycle's services are fully covered by

Ossi, Centre Manager at Islington
Mind, FoodCycle partner said:- "Across the UK, we successfully

Student Action for Refugees (STAR) and many more local community
centres and churches. FoodCycle Islington offers a positive role
model for the day centre service users, and offers volunteering
posts to service users who are interested in doing voluntary work�
It gives the service users an opportunity to share the space with
people who don't have mental health problems, thus addressing stigma
around mental health, and enables greater integration for the
Islington Mind service users with other people from the community. I
can't recommend this initiative strongly enough. It is health and
well being promotion at its best."
Since FoodCycle began in May 2009, they have expanded to 18
locations and served over 100,000 meals. FoodCycle Liverpool was
previously based at Asylum Link in Kensington, but unfortunately
they are no longer able to host the service. If you have a kitchen
and dining space that could be suitable for FoodCycle Liverpool and
are interested in finding out more about working together, please
get in touch with Robyn on:-
email@example.com or call:- 0207 729 2775 to
discuss the opportunity further. They said that:-
"We are looking for a venue that fulfils the following criteria:-
� A decent sized kitchen with cooking facilities.
� A dining area that can seat at least 25 to 30 people.
� Available for at least 1 mealtime per week (this must be the same
day/time each week).
� The venue must be available free of charge, as FoodCycle Hubs work
on the basis of a mutually beneficial relationship, where each
partner stands to gain from the relationship."

Working to cut energy bills
THOUSANDS of Liverpool
households are being given help to cut their electriCity bills. The
scheme operated by Liverpool City Council's Healthy Homes Programme
provided 6 months paid work experience and training opportunities to
6 young people who supplied and/or fitted free low energy bulbs in
the homes of vulnerable residents.
They also provided a free energy monitoring service which has helped
residents to identify any potential opportunities to reduce their
energy consumption and so reduce their energy bills.
Now the opportunity is now being repeated for another 6 young people
aged 16 to 18 who are not in education, employment or training and
live in Liverpool. The programme is due to start in September 2014.
The trainees on the first programme supplied and/or fitted about
2,000 energy efficient light bulbs in residents' homes or gave them
out at events, including those run by the Healthy Homes Health
Promotion Team, the City Council's Energy Efficiency Team, and other
local community events.
In addition they also engaged with social landlords and other
agencies, offering the energy efficiency programme to their tenants
and clients.
All of the trainees successfully completed a number of training and
development courses and they were supported in finding future work
with 3, so far, going on to further employment and the others being
supported in their efforts in finding future employment.
Cabinet member for Housing, Councillor Ann O'Byrne said:-
"This is a great way of helping residents cut their fuel bills or
help to get them out of fuel poverty by making small changes in
their homes. And it is providing a unique opportunity for young
people to get work experience in a growing area of private sector
employment and learn many skills that future employers will be
looking for. An open day will be held on Monday, 21 July 2014, when
more information about the traineeships and programme will be

No legal action from DJR Team Penske after failed protest
DJR Team Penske won't take any legal action or further appeal after its protest over yesterday's Pukekohe race result was unsuccessful.
The team lodged a protest against the Deputy Race Director's decision to not hand winner Shane van Gisbergen a time penalty after Saturday's race, despite his wheels having spun during his second stop.
A hearing took place this morning, Penske arguing that the decision not to refer the incident to the stewards because van Gisbergen's wheels didn't make a full rotation was inconsistent with the wording of the regulation.
However the protest failed, van Gisbergen keeping the controversial win.
DJR Team Penske has now considered the case closed, a team spokesperson confirming to Motorsport.com that there will be no legal action for further protests – a position then reiterated in a statement from the squad.
Read Also:
"The rules are there to protect the safety of pit crew members," read the statement.
"Any rotation of the rear wheels during a pit stop, except for slight movement upon gear engagement, is a clear violation of the rules.
"The rules do not state how much the rear wheels can rotate – they state that they can't rotate. Injury can occur without a 'full revolution' of the rear wheels being completed.
"We have no choice but to accept this decision. We can only request that rules are applied and enforced as they are written and that there is consistency as well as clearly defined communication to all in their ongoing application."

"AM" is Arctic Monkeys' masterpiece of Indie Rock
September 13, 2013
Prime: of the best possible quality; excellent. This definition perfectly fits "AM," the Arctic Monkeys' newest album,.
Producing in California but hailing from Sheffield, England, the Arctic Monkeys released a new outstanding album, "AM", on September 9. "AM" contains the classic indie rock feel but it also has variety to its tracks. This band has been growing its fan base through the internet and amazing live performances.
"AM" can only be described as a seductive, heavy indie rock album with a touch of punk and a sprinkling of different beats and genres. The lyrics are deep and meaningful, so they perfectly match the alluring sounds of the songs. As the Arctic Monkeys' fifth album, "AM" is a collection of all the ways the Arctic Monkeys have been improving themselves over the years.
First off, "Snap Out of It" is a bouncy, almost happy song in this album. It has a sections with piano solos and high pitched vocals that back up Alex Turner's voice. This song also has small guitar riffs and clapping in the background which really wrap up the song nicely.
"Knee Socks" is an upbeat song in this album. It has a distinct high-pitched chorus with short electric guitar riffs. It is almost like a disco song and it makes you want to dance a little bit. This is all emphasized by slow and calm vocals from Alex Turner. "Knee Socks" is the most unique song in this album. The lyrics are also very distinct and complementary to the sounds in this song.
"R U Mine?" is a song that was released as a single more than a year ago by the Arctic Monkeys. This song features powerful drumming and strong electric guitar riffs. It holds a steady, catchy beat and lyrics that will have you singing along.
Last but not least, the big single of this album, the track that everyone will know: "Do I Wanna Know?" This song perfectly showcases the Arctic Monkeys and their musical talent. "I dreamt about you nearly every night this week…'cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat, until I fall asleep," are just some of the seductively sinister lyrics of this indie rock love song. These lyrics are then combined with steady and rhythmic drum beats and guitar riffs. It is not surprising that "Do I Wanna Know?" is the most purchased song on the album.
The combination of strong indie rock sounds, heavy electric guitar riffs, strong base kicks and on point drumming, the new fresh sound of the Arctic Monkeys and their gripping lyrics makes it easy to say that "AM" is one of the best albums this year so far.

Beyonce has paid tribute Saturday to historically black colleges and universities and also reunited with Destiny's Child during her headlining performance at Coachella, which was delayed for a year because of her pregnancy.

Her return did not disappoint the audience with a rousing set, including paying tribute to the marching bands, the dance troupes and step teams at HBCUs. She even performed "Lift Every Voice and Sing," known as the national black anthem.
Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams also joined her as they sang their smash "Say My Name," and husband Jay-Z also came out for a collaboration.
Beyonce is due to return for her second performance as Coachella returns for its second run next weekend.

First Aid Kit, Bush Hall | reviews, news & interviews
First Aid Kit, Bush Hall
First Aid Kit, Bush Hall
Swedish folk prodigies still have their charm and their harmonies
As it turned out, the only major change since then was that they seemed to have grown exceptionally tall. Their enchanting combination of intensity and enthusiasm was immaculately intact. "Have you been on TV at all?" I asked. "Not much, but we're going to be," beamed older sister Johanna, now 21. "We've got a new album coming out. Have you heard it?" And then, with visions of minor stardom in her eyes, she sent a message to tell her dad, who seems to be both manager and sound technician, to wait another five minutes for sound check. They might be going places but right now theirs is still a wonderfully naïve, homespun enterprise.
Klara's voice was still as pure as a Swedish snowstorm, but now there were hints of soul, too
Still, since the beginning of 2010 First Aid Kit have gained acres of experience: five tours of America, supporting Lykke Li, recording a new album (The Lion's Roar, out next month) in Nebraska, and filming a video from the motel room next to where Gram Parsons died. They may still look and dress like they're from a fairy tale but the fact that they only at the last minute changed their minds not to actually stay in the very room where the hell-raising country singer passed away says a lot.
Now there's an added gut to their music. In a packed Bush Hall, 18-year-old Klara's voice was still as pure as a Swedish snowstorm, but now there were hints of soul, too. The material they were previewing from The Lion's Roar was, in the main, more country than the pastoral The Big Black and the Blue. And when it wasn't, like the girl's new accents, it was still more American. Johanna's harmonies on "Blue" made it feel like Simon and Garfunkel back in the days when they perfectly captured the feeling of being young, "Emmylou" was a homage to their country heroes and "Wolf" had a wild, native feel to it.
Two years ago the centrepiece of the concerts was an unplugged, no-microphone rendition of their numinous "Ghost Town". The same trick was pulled off last night. As the girls started you could have heard a plectrum drop. And it felt like a truly special moment, right until the moment that the tipsy girl in front of me started singing along. But it was that kind of buzzy night. A gathering of hipsters, folkies and, seemingly, lots of people connected with the music industry.
He realised that he had still failed to successfully tame his errant top e-string
And then there was the girls' new sense of musical dynamics. Or more specifically Mattias Bergqvist, the drummer. Not only did he bring a galloping rhythm to numbers like "Our Own Pretty Ways" but he also pulled off the unlikely trick of blending his stickmanship with two of the most delicate voices around in, acoustically, one of the most unforgiving venues on the circuit. And on the title track of the new album, before the encore, they all totally rocked the joint, with the sisters' chest-length hair flailing around like Catherine wheels.
The closer was a cover of Lucinda Williams's "Sharp Cutting Wings" where they were joined by the wonderfully shambolic support Jo Rose, whose earlier performance had all the charm of a young Ron Sexsmith with a poorly tuned guitar. Moments into the number he realised that he had still failed to successfully tame his errant top e-string and contained himself to the bass notes. Still, it was a thoroughly lovely reading.
What's next for the First Aid Kit? According to Johanna and Klara, it's "work, work, work". They don't miss having the normal lives of young women because of the great opportunities they've been given. Still, at their ages you'd be foolish to bet against something happening to spoil the magic. If you don't want to take any chances, they are touring the UK in February.

This is a repost of an essay I wrote in 2014 whilst at college.
On Friday 5th September, I visited 'The Human Factor' exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, in Southbank, London. I'm going to be writing a full post on the exhibition overall, but for now I'm going to focus on one piece that was there; Him, by Maurizio Cattelan; which in my opinion was the most powerful of all the artworks on exhibit.
Spoiler Alert: This post shows the artwork from the front, as well as the back which is how you would initially see it.

The South African u17 Men's National Team, Amajimbos, was held to a goalless draw by a determined China side in the BRICS u17 Football Cup, which was played on Sunday, 9 October 2016 at the Bambolin Stadium in Goa, India. It was a must-win for China who had already lost two games, while South Africa was playing their second match.
It was a dull affair in the first half as both teams were struggling under the heat and humidity of Goa - added to that China was playing their third match in five days and it showed, as they were slow off the blocks. South Africa should have taken advantage of the situation, but instead it was China who came close in the 22nd minute when the ball was passed behind the Amajimbos defence who were left for dead by the China forwards but they shot wide.
Amajimbos managed to score three minutes later but a player was adjudged to have used his hand to steer the ball into the back of the net.
However, both teams came out guns blazing in the second stanza as it had started to cool down, and the game came back to life.
Amajimbos enjoyed a lot of possession, and created numerous chances, which they failed to convert. First Lyle Foster was clear on goals but could only shoot wide in the 65th minute. A minute later South Africa started a move from the back, threw in a cross from the left and Foster tried an acrobatic but it went narrowly wide.
In the 70th minute S'miso Bophela was a gifted a golden opportunity when a back pass landed in his way, but with the goalkeeper to beat he ballooned his shot.
Second half substitute, Tyreese Pillay almost scored a spectacular goal but could only watch in agony in the 76th minute as his ball beat the keeper but not the upright and ricocheted back into play.
There was still time for another chance in the 88th minute when Sthembiso Kurata, who replaced Sabelo Radebe, almost had his name on the score sheet. After a neat one-two in the opposition box, Kurata shot over the crossbar when it would have easier to score.
For the better part of the second stanza, China was chasing the game but made sure they kept a clean sheet and shared the spoils.
South Africa now has four points after two games, while China is sitting on just one after three matches. Russia has six after two wins in two games, and Brazil registered a victory in the one match they have played so far.
Amajimbos next face Brazil on Tuesday, 11 October. That match kickoffs at 12h30 South African time. China will take on hosts India in the later match.
South Africa: Glen Baadjies, Mswati Mavuso, Luke Fleurs, Nkanyiso Shinga, Mjabulise Mkhize, Sabelo Radebe (Sthembiso Kurata), Ndamolelo Radzilani (Tyreese Pillay), Luke Le Roux (C), S'miso Bophela, Lyle Foster, Thabo Mokwena (Sechaba Mokoena)
Subs: Tshepo Mohui (GK), Rhuwano Wynne (GK), Sechaba Mokoena, Jaqueel de Jager, Lethabo Mazibuko, Tyrees Pillay, Kabelo Makola, Mpho Mahlangu, Sifundo Nkosi, Sithembiso Kurata
China: Qi Yuxi (GK), Wang Xianjun, Wu Shaocong (C), Sun Long Xiang, Zhang Hui, Huang Cong, Chen Ao, Tao Qianglong, Lian Dongwei, Meng Zhen, Feng Zihao
Subs: Li Weijie (GK), Guo Jiawei (GK), Wu Chengru, Li Zianglong, Li Jun Hui, Zhu Zhenxian, Yao Tinghan, Li Boxi, Huang Jingfeng
- 11/10/2016 18:31 - China edge India 1-0 in BRICS U-17 Football Cup
- 10/10/2016 17:46 - Amajimbos disappointed with draw against China
- 10/10/2016 11:52 - Canada to square off against Korea in November

Despite passionate opposition and alarming new research, SB 58 (aka the 4 A.M. Bar Bill) continues to make its way through the California legislature, passing the California State Assembly Committee on Governmental Operations (GO) by a narrow vote. The bill seeks to set up an ersatz "pilot program" that would allow 10 cities across California to establish 4 a.m. last call times for bars and nightclubs. Two previous versions of SB 58 stalled out in previous years. Hopes that this year's Assembly GO would follow their lead have so far proven fruitless.
Assembly GO Committee member Tom Lackey, a former California Highway Patrol Officer, spoke passionately about the concerns law enforcement has with extending last calls. "I have direct knowledge of the tragedy that's associated when alcohol-impaired driving is coupled with the extreme fatigue that we also see in drivers between 2 and 4 a.m," Assemblymember Lackey said. "Through this legislation we will extend the hours of most danger and that is terrible, reprehensible, abhorrent, scary, and should be denounced."
Assemblymember Lackey's fears were reinforced by a new analysis conducted by the Oakland-based Alcohol Research Group (ARG), and released the day before the vote. The report looked at the potential impact on Los Angeles from extended last call times and found staggering costs associated with the bill. Assuming only 5% of the eligible establishments in Los Angeles opt to stay open to 4 a.m., the projected costs from the additional alcohol sales top $266 million over 5 years. If 20% of the eligible bars opt in, the costs go over $1 billion.
Those are only the estimated costs per drink. The actual harms—what Governor Jerry Brown termed the "mischief and mayhem" when he vetoed a nearly identical bill last year—skyrocket as well. The ARG team found that a 4 a.m. last call, if universally adopted in the city, would result in 18,934 more violent crimes, 2,741 alcohol-related arrests, 3,237 DUIs, 809 motor vehicle crashes, and an astonishing 94,147 ambulance calls.
These figures, staggering as they are, were not enough to sway the committee, which passed the bill by one vote. "SB 58 is nothing more than another greedy grab for more profits by promoting binge drinking in the wee hours of the morning," said Bruce Lee Livingston, Executive Director/CEO of Alcohol Justice. "Alcohol Justice applauds those committee members who voted 'no,' and those who stayed off the bill. We urge the rest of the Assembly to do what the GO committee failed at and stop this dangerous experiment."
The bill moves to the Assembly Appropriations Committee next. Alcohol Justice urges all concerned allies to take action at the link below and tell Appropriations to stop this reckless bill before the harm is on our doorstep.
TAKE ACTION to tell your legislators to stop this bill.

With AB 1468 (McCarty), opioid manufacturers and distributors will begin to pay California to help stop the deaths and misery caused by the opioid epidemic, off of which these businesses have so highly profited. For two decades, opioid manufacturers and distributors have irresponsibly promoted opioids. Opioid-makers like the Sackler family-owned Purdue Pharma have pleaded guilty to misleading regulators, doctors and patients about their opioid Oxycontin's risk of addiction and its potential to be abused. Opioid distributors like Cardinal Health and AmerisourceBergen have settled lawsuits that they were shipping opioids to "pill mill" pharmacies that dispense excessive numbers of painkillers.
In a surprising but much-needed executive order, New York City mayor Bill de Blasio banned alcohol advertisements on city-owned property. Following on the heels of the city's decision to remove booze ads from public transit (including buses and subway trains), the new order does the same to bus shelters, newsstands, and other street properties.
"What underpins this order is a close review of the science," Dr. Hillary Kunins, Acting Executive Deputy Health Commissioner for the city of New York, told the New York Times. "The major studies show that exposure to alcohol advertising influences drinking, particularly in youth."
The Times reports a high level of alcohol harm in New York City, citing 2,000 alcohol-related deaths and 110,000 emergency room visits yearly. This chronic source of death, injury, and lost productivity has a cost that may equal or exceed the revenue lost from the ad ban.
New York City is not the first major American city to make this calculation. Similar outdoor advertising bans have gone into effect in Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, the latter two with the involvement of Alcohol Justice and the Los Angeles Drug and Alcohol Policy Alliance.
"We commend Mayor de Blasio for taking strong action to protect residents of New York," said Jorge Castillo, Advocacy Director at Alcohol Justice. "Outdoor ads are a blight that takes vulnerable lives. We need lawmakers in every city to stand up and take on Big Alcohol."

I'm sorry for your loss
First facebook has to recognize him as dead, because I don't think you can get into his account without his password, but if he's dead, Facebook should take some sort of action to contact his closest loved ones and give you access I'm not sure exactly how this process works, but I know that Facebook recognizes some people as dead because it makes their page show a special note on it (ex. "Remembering John Doe")
And I've also noticed people who's loved ones have died have had access to their page after their passing, so I'm assuming you'd have to contact Facebook somehow to prove he's dead and that you're family.

Since the European Cup was renamed the Champions League in 1992/3, English clubs have reach four finals between them – all since 1998/99. Liverpool have reached their second Champions League final, both under Rafael Benitez, which is something that Man Utd under Alex Ferguson have not managed despite many attempts and the purchase of many expensive players. Jose Mourinho won the Champions League with FC Porto, but has not managed to repeat that success with Chelsea despite also spending many millions of pounds on players. Both Man Utd and Chelsea have achieved domestic success, but have yet to convince many with results in Europe. While many ridicule a tournament named the "Champions League" not only because it is essentially a cup competition, but primarily because it contains non-Champions, it is the competition with the big names that most managers at top clubs across Europe want to win.
So how successful have Liverpool been in the Champions League under Rafael Benitez compared to the other big English teams? Jose Mourinho is the self proclaimed 'special one' but a comparison of the big four English club's records in the most recent three seasons (2004/05 – 2006/07) reveals which manager has got it right. The reason for picking the most recent three seasons is that is the length of time both Rafael Benitez and Jose Mourinho have been in charge at their respective clubs. While Chelsea had reached the semi final the season before Jose took over, Liverpool had not even been in the 2003/04 competition i. This makes Rafael Benitez's success at the first attempt even more remarkable as the team had little previous form in the competition to speak of and he was effectively working with his predecessor's team.
Top English Clubs in the Champions League 2004/05 – 2006/07
1. Liverpool P43 W25 D9 L9 F61 A27. (Won 58.14%)
2. Man Utd P30 W16 D5 L9 F56 A24. (Won 53.33%)
3. Arsenal P31 W16 D11 L4 F41 A19. (Won 51.61%)
4. Chelsea P32 W16 D8 L8 F47 A26. (Won 50.00%)
Liverpool's record contains two extra rounds of qualifiers from 2005/06 when their league position wasn't enough to gain automatic entry into the competition despite being Champions. Even if you discount these, the record is still the best – P39 W21 D9 L9 F50 A26 (Won 53.85%). On top of that Liverpool have now reached two finals in three seasons, Arsenal were runners-up in 2005/06 but neither of the other two teams have progressed beyond the semi finals in that time.
1. Liverpool - finalists
2. Chelsea - semi finalists
3. Man Utd - semi finalists
4. Arsenal – Last sixteen
1. Arsenal – Runners-Up
2. Chelsea – Last sixteen
3. Liverpool – Last sixteen
4. Man Utd – Group Stage/Last 32
1. Liverpool - Champions
2. Chelsea – semi finalists
3. Arsenal– Last sixteen
4. Man Utd– Last sixteen
England boasted three of the four semi finalists in 2006/07, but in 1999/00 Spain boasted the Champions (Real Madrid), Runners-up (Valencia) and a beaten semi-finalist Barcelona). Spain leads the Champions League table of results :-
Champions League table by country (1992/93 – 2005/06)
1. Spain Won 4, Runners-Up 3, Semi Finalists 6
2. Italy Won 3, Runners-Up 6, Semi Finalists 3
3. Germany Won 2, Runners-Up 2, Semi Finalists 3
4. England Won 2, Runners-Up 1, Semi Finalists 5
Alex Ferguson at Man Utd and Arsene Wenger at Arsenal both have struggled to dominate in Europe, Man Utd have generally progressed further but not managed to translate their domestic dominance across into their European campaign. Despite numerous attempts Alex Ferguson has reached only one final, which they needed two late goals to win. Arsene took Arsenal to their first ever final only last season and they lost, that was only the second time he has taken Arsenal further in the competition than his bitter rival at Man Utd.
Home & Away
One interesting statistic to note was the form of the big four English clubs at home compared with away.
1. Man Utd P69 W50 D13 L6 F174 A58 (Won 72.46%)
2. Liverpool P32 W20 D6 L6 F49 A18 (Won 62.50%)
3. Chelsea P31 W19 D9 L3 F50 A19 (Won 61.29%)
4. Arsenal P46 W25 D12 L7 F71 A39 (Won 56.82%)
1. Liverpool P32 W14 D11 L7 F44 A26 (Won 43.75%)
2. Chelsea P31 W13 D7 L11 F43 A31 (Won 41.94%)
3. Arsenal P46 W16 D14 L16 F53 A50 (Won 34.78%)
4. Man Utd P69 W22 D21 L26 F82 A71 (Won 31.88%)
The stark contrast between Man Utd's home and away form is amazing. What is also interesting is their record in the latter stages of the Champions League compared to the last sixteen/group stages and before.
Top English Clubs in the Champions League (QF onwards)
1. Liverpool P11 W6 D3 L2 F14 A9 (Won 54.54%)
2. Man Utd P25 W9 D8 L8 F44 A30 (Won 36.00%)
3. Chelsea P14 W5 D4 L5 F20 A22 (Won 35.71%)
4. Arsenal P9 W3 D3 L3 F8 A7 (Won 33.33%)
Considering the long and much boasted "seven consecutive quarter finals" that record of Man Utd's is pretty ordinary. Arsenal simply haven't got that far often enough and they, Chelsea and Man Utd won't reach too many finals and win too many Champions Leagues with a record of roughly one win in three.
Top English Clubs in the Champions League (Pre-QF)
1. Chelsea P48 W27 D12 L9 F73 A28 (Won 56.25%)
2. Man Utd P114 W64 D26 L24 F214 A100 (Won 56.14%)
3. Liverpool P54 W28 D15 L11 F82 A38 (Won 51.85%)
4. Arsenal P82 W38 D23 L21 F117 A84 (Won 46.34%)
This just goes to show that English clubs like the low pressure league format but not so much the knockout rounds where you have to be the best side over two legs. Some of those games will be in the last sixteen of the re-formatted knockout phase, even then the opposition quality is not necessarily the best – even Scottish, Norwegian, Greek and Turkish sides get as far as the last sixteen and sometimes even the quarter finals, but most seasons struggle to get beyond the group stage.
The group stages are a complete waste of time, teams can afford to lose two and sometimes three games and still progress. The old European Cup is often criticised for having Champions of weaker countries, well frankly neither the old European Cup nor the current Champions League become a competition in earnest until the quarter finals and the records speak for themselves. Some like to knock the European Cup because of the unfamiliar names of teams not thinking on that you had to be Champions of your country therefore the sides they hold in such high regard nowadays would have been below them in their domestic leagues back then. Most people know 25 years ago Liverpool dominated English football and Man Utd were also-rans but times change, yet too many struggle to realise that the same is true of any league. What is a big name now could as easily have been an also-ran 25 years ago, all teams go through peaks and troughs.
Perhaps the most interesting analysis is how the top English clubs fare against teams from other countries in the Champions League. There have been a few all English matches over the years and Liverpool lead that particular table with all six of those clashes coming against Chelsea, all in the most recent three seasons with two in each.
Top English Clubs head to heads
1. Liverpool P6 W2 D3 L1 F2 A1 (Won 33.33%)
2. Chelsea P8 W2 D4 L2 F4 A4 (Won 25.00%)
3. Arsenal P2 W0 D1 L1 F2 A3 (Won 00.00%)
Man Utd have not faced English clubs in the Champions League, they have been rather lucky over the years with the draw and have a rather good record against Scottish clubs winning 3 of their 4 meetings with the old firm. The most frequently faced countries by the top English clubs in the Champions League are unsurprisingly Spain (59), Germany (41), Italy (41, soon to be 42), France (32) and Portugal and Holland (20 each). The records of each top English club against each country are as below.
vs Spain
1. Chelsea P12 W5 D3 L4 F21 A18 (Won 41.67%)
2. Arsenal P17 W6 D4 L7 F17 A19 (Won 35.29%)
3. Liverpool P10 W3 D3 L4 F6 A9 (Won 30.00%)
4. Man Utd P20 W5 D9 L6 F29 A31 (Won 25.00%)
vs Germany
1. Liverpool P6 W4 D1 L1 F11 A6 (Won 66.67%)
2. Arsenal P12 W6 D2 L4 F21 A17 (Won 50.00%)
3. Chelsea P8 W4 D1 L3 F12 A8 (Won 50.00%)
4. Man Utd P15 W4 D6 L5 F17 A16 (Won 26.67%)
vs Italy
1. Man Utd P18 W8 D2 L8 F35 A17 (Won 44.44%)
2. Arsenal P12 W5 D4 L3 F17 A10 (Won 41.67%)
3. Liverpool P5 W2 D3 L0 F11 A6 (Won 40.00%)
4. Chelsea P6 W2 D3 L1 F8 A4 (Won 33.33%)
vs France
1. Liverpool P4 W3 D0 L1 F6 A1 (Won 75.00%)
2. Man Utd P16 W8 D6 L2 F21 A11 (Won 50.00%)
3. Chelsea P6 W2 D2 L2 F7 A6 (Won 33.33%)
4. Arsenal P6 W2 D2 L2 F5 A5 (Won 33.33%)
vs Holland
1. Chelsea P2 W2 D0 L0 F6 A2 (Won 100.00%)
2. Liverpool P4 W3 D1 L0 F6 A0 (Won 75.00%)
3. Man Utd P4 W3 D0 L1 F9 A6 (Won 75.00%)
4. Arsenal P10 W3 D6 L1 F10 A5 (Won 30.00%)
vs Portugal
1. Man Utd P10 W6 D2 L2 F19 A7 (Won 60.00%)
2. Chelsea P4 W2 D1 L1 F7 A5 (Won 50.00%)
3. Arsenal P2 W1 D1 L0 F2 A0 (Won 50.00%)
4. Liverpool P4 W0 D2 L2 F2 A5 (Won 00.00%)
Note Liverpool have yet to lose to an Italian club in the Champions League, whether this record continues will be discovered in the final in Athens. These six countries (and England of course) are the only countries to boast finalists, the records of the top English clubs against the rest are :-
vs The rest
1. Chelsea P16 W13 D2 L1 F28 A3 (Won 81.25%)
2. Man Utd P56 W39 D9 L8 F128 A42 (Won 69.64%)
3. Liverpool P26 W17 D5 L4 F56 A21 (Won 65.38%)
4. Arsenal P30 W18 D6 L6 F51 A32 (Won 60.00%)
'The rest'does include some tricky opposition including nasty trips to Greece, Turkey, Russia and Ukraine – and ridiculously Israel, the non-European country. Despite some embarrassing UEFA Cup losses in the not so distant past, including Viking Stavanger of Norway, St Gallen of Switzerland and Hapoel Tel Aviv of Israel, Chelsea have a fantastic record against the weaker countries. The one defeat was at home to Turkish side Besiktas, the only side of the four not to lose to a Turkish team in the Champions League is Arsenal and that might have something to do with them never having played Turkish opposition!
What about the other English clubs to have ventured into the Champions League? Well most have little to write home about as the places are normally filled by the big four, although Leeds Utd did reach a semi final and that dizzy height was the beginning of the downward slide they are currently experiencing as they seem destined for the third tier of English league football.
Other English Clubs in the Champions League
Newcastle Utd P20 W9 D2 L9 F28 A29 (Won 45.00%) – best finish of the last sixteen
Leeds Utd P20 W8 D5 L7 F29 A26 (Won 40.00%) – best finish of semi finals
Blackburn P6 W1 D1 L4 F5 A7(Won 16.67%) – best finish of last sixteen/group stage
Everton P2 W0 D0 L2 F2 A4 (Won 0.00%) – best finish of qualifying stage

Two years after the Titan attack destroyed their home, Eren, Mikasa and Armin begin boot camp, and their drill sergeant suffers no foolishness, especially from one Sasha Blouse, who just can't help scarfing down a hot potato while he's talking (the tension of the exchange is highly amusing, showing off Titan's sense of humor even in such bleak setting. (The sergeant also thinks Armin Arlert is a dumb name.)
It's a common strategy: strip the cadets down and then build them back up, in their case, into Titan-killing soldiers. As the sergeant walks down the line, we learn how the recruits are from all over, and have enlisted for many different reasons. Many don't cut it and leave to work the fields on the first day. Others will wash out later. I liked how the sergeant knew from the look of the cadets who'd already gone through the wringer.
Eren is eager to get through training so he can start kicking Titanic ass on the front lines, but he hits a snag: the omni-directional mobility gear all soldiers need to master. In short, he sucks at it. He has all the motivation and determination in the world, but appears to lack the aptitude. This is a huge setback for his life goals, and you can see in his haunted expression at dinner that he fears failure and his own weakness far more than any Titan.
This episode also presents the opportunity to spread out beyond our core trio to several interesting supporting characters, some of whom may well end up in the same unit as Eren. The aforementioned Sasha is a bit one note in her relentless pursuit of food, but Jean Kirstein's honesty about wanting to join the military police so he can serve in the safe(r) interior provides a welcome contrast to Eren's puffed-chest gung-ho act.
Even better though, Jean and Eren don't just come to blows over the disagreement. A bell rings, and the two make up, perhaps aware that fighting each other is a waste of time. Then there's Reiner Braun, who like Eren & Co. is one of the few cadets who has seen the Titans firsthand; in other words, who have seen hell.
But the undisputed rockstar of this episode, and of the show so far, at least for me, is Mikasa Ackerman. We learn a little more about her intensely close, co-dependent bond with Eren; neither of them want to ever be apart from the other; both feed off of one another's unique energy. She aces the OGM, makes someone fall in love with her just by walking past, looks awesome no matter what her length of hair is, and even owns Sasha by not surrendering her bread.
She also rejoices when Eren finally gets the OGM right (turns out he had a defective belt, but even managed to balance properly on that, proving he's more than capable). But she's also the only one who doesn't see self-satisfaction in Eren's face. She sees relief that he doesn't have to leave her.
Not that he would have to: had he failed, she would have gone with him to the fields; Armin too, probably. Because if there's one thing that's working out for these three kids in this dastardly post-apocalyptic fiasco of a world, its the three of them sticking together.
