    1-1 Sibierski equalises :)

    Terrific cross from Milner setup an easy header for the Sib. Very similar to Luque's goal against Palermo except from the right this time.

    Celta are really here for the taking. Newcastle dominating possession but fairly toothless up front. Luque seems to be playing more out wide.

    A point should do us but I think the introduction of Martins or Dyer will win us the game.

    English commentary for Newcastle on Caifu :)

    Mixed bag for Luque so far. Some wonderful crossing but at other times wasteful.

    Happy with that for a makeshift Newcastle team. All four British clubs are through to the knockout stages, Newcastle top their group.

    A fine 0-0 draw for Blackburn. This has been easily Rovers' best season ever in European football. Still undefeated.

    Usually they'd be out in the first round.

    not the best spurs performance ive ever seen, but job done.
    even managed to remain relvatively calm for the last 15 minutes instead of our usual headless chicken act.
    good to see all 4 british teams through to the next round. bring on our last game and hopefully top the group. could do without having to play a CL dropout just yet :)

    I stand corrected, Newcastle haven't quite won their group.

    Unlike the CL groups where

    1) Higher number of points obtained in the matches between the teams in question

    and

    2) Superior goal difference from the matches between the teams in question

    are applied to seperate teams on equal points (eg. Celtic ahead of Man Utd), the Uefa Cup groups are decided by overall superior goal difference.

    So that means if Fenerbache win their two remaining games and Newcastle lose their final match in Frankfurt, Fenerbache will top the group despite losing at SJP.

    How odd that Uefa haven't standardised the rules across all their competitions.

    Edit: actually maybe not so odd as the Uefa Cup games aren't played home and away, thus giving the home side an unfair advantage in head to head records if they finish level on points.
