But then we could end up with a list that people strongly disagree
with. That's the problem with a vote like you're suggesting. Yes I can
see your point about 1 person being able to veto a list if we go for a
list that only includes teams that people don't strongly disagree
about. Both methods have their problems. We've probably just proved
that there is no perfect way of doing it. It might be unorthodox, it's
not ridiculous though. If anyone can come up with a better way,
they/you are welcome to suggest it and/or start your own thread after
we've got the final list this way.

And anyway, it's just a bit of fun. It's a good way of having an
interesting, informative discussion about football. It's not as if
Internazionale are going to lose millions of Euros by not making the
list. At least I'm treating all the teams fairly, unlike UEFA.
