Everybody keeps talking about our defenc being rubbish, but we actually have the joint 7th best in the premiership, and also 1 goal conceded in 4 uefa cup games! THATS GOOD GOING FROM OUR MIGHTY TOON BACK 4!! Keep it up.

But it is very promising that Newcastle show some signs at least of being able to grind out results (if only they could do the same consistently in the league ...) Finishing top of the group sets Newcastle up for a potentially winnable tie in the next round. And should they get through to the last 16 few teams will relish the prospect of having to play them.

Michael83 (U1999405) posted Dec 1, 2006 I can't believe how poor Luque played yesterday. I didn't have many opportunities to see him play thus far this season but yesterday he was absolutely woeful and couldn't even be bothered to run 15 yeards, never mind sprinting or trying to beat his man. I don't know what happened to the guy because at Deportivo he was awesone at times and now he is a shadow of his former self, with no pace, no skills and no grit. Newcastle should cut his losses with him as soon as possible and hope to recapture at least a friction of what they paid for him. Must be one of the biggest transfer flops in recent history

toonbennett (U1714785) posted Dec 1, 2006 forzavelez newcastle have had to play without most of the first team for a while now due to injuries, parker, duff, owen, ameobi, moore, babayaro, carr. because of this they are even playin players out of postion, ramage at left back and nobby at right back. despite all this they are proving they can get results. congrats to roeder for not usin injuries as an excuse

SK (U6542878) posted Dec 1, 2006 ForzaVelez I'm sure if Newcastle win or get to the final like Boro last year I'm sure the fans will care. Boro fans did, they relished it. I'm sure all the Premiership clubs who didn't make the UEFA Cup do care, it brings in revenue, and attracts better players who want to play in Europe.
