    Harry Redknapp gets away with murder (witness the way he merrily danced from Portsmouth to Southampton and back again), but maintains the whole 'cheeky chappie Harry Redknapp' image so he gets away with it. And his manageral achievements are good, but not up to what O'Neill has done.

    We got a good group, we can possibly finish top of it.

    Feyenoord lost their two bes players last season and are having trouble behind the scenes.

    Basle lost their best players from last season.

    Krakow a good team from Poland but should be able to beat.

    Nancy a newly promoted French side, on paper, they're the easiest of the bunch but they've been playing exceptionally well in the French league, so wont be easy as thought.
    Feyenoord althought lost two best players but they're still a good club...it's the club that counts not the players...that's sometimes...but not always of course...Basle is not the main threat it seems...and Krakow...should be weasy as you said...Nancy is tougher and the possible opponent to challege for top spot..but erm...whose your team? Newcastle?Or Blackburn?Because I'm confuse you said your team but we're talking about newcastle and your avatar is a Blackburn avatar...sorry for the blury blur
    Blackburn, i quoted that because i was gonna say something about Newcastle then decided not to but totally forgot about the quote.

    I was going to say Newcastle are stuffed basically, they're 3 other teams better than them in their group, Palermo being one team i think could possibly win the UEFA Cup and with Newcastle's defense.....

    Back to the other stuff, Feyenoord not playing so great in the league, trouble with the board aswell, so morale is low atm, hopefully that wont be a downer on possibly a good match. Krakow, Basle, should win but knowing us we'll make work out of it. Nancy's form says they will be tough but we have them at home and by then, we would have qualified.

    I think teams that do finish top spot will avoid the other first teams places in the other groups and the teams that drop from the Champions League, not sure though.

    Unlike Jose, O'Neill's team is still unbeaten.

    So what? Capello went Milan to Roma and then to Juve and that's on a grander scale, besides Redknapp is what got them in the Premiership in the first place, I think completely turning a club's form round from relegation struggling to match winning is worthy of a hug from Jose too don't you think? OK O'Neill has won titles but his cabinet is much more humble than the likes of around 20 other managers around the world

    I never said I liked Capello much either, especially as I like Roma in Serie A and when he buggered off to go to Juventus it unbalanced them for a while. And we never said O'Neill is the greatest manager ever, just that he was still pretty damn good.

    As for today's international matches, the ones with the home nations and Ireland were a real bunch of surprises, great entertainment all round with all the shocks (especially Scotland beating France).

    So, are we discussing international's in here, too? I couldn't find another thread for it. Maybe I'm just blind.

    About the England vs Croatia game tonight, I'm really happy that Scott Parker has been handed the holding role, I think that he'll do well. Although it is a shame about Gerrard.

    I'll be suprised if we manage to win the match though, I think it'll probably be a draw.

    Parkwr is a good tackler and can pass, with Carrick it's just his exceptional passing that gets him in the team.

    In the England vs Macedonia match...Carrick didn't get himself involve very much...he is so lame out there that day...and same as Rooney and Ledley King...I mean Aco Stojkov keep running through King to get on the passes which opened up scoring chances for Macedonia...

    PS:I prefer Parker he is better than Carrik in all ways except thier clubs...Scott is a more tough tackler than Carrick is...half as tough as Owen Hangreavs?XD In my opinion every tackle Hangreavs attempted it was a sure foul =.=

    Now matter who McClaren choose for the holding role for next months games, when Hargreaves comes back, it will be his position. IMO Hargreaves has proved in recent matches, he is the best out of the lot. Sure he concedes some fouls but not harsh ones or anything like that, the sort of fouls that breaks up the opponents attack. He has and excellent work rate and the desire to play and challenge and not be afraid. There's a reason why he starts in a very good Bayern Munich side, when fit of course.

    I felt that he is a little to clumsy in the tackles...it's has a bad effect though...Don't want to give away any unnecessary freekicks though...But he's is one decent midfield general I agree...

    Neville's own goal - oh dear...

    Rather sums it up for England really =/ - a lot to work on over the winter before the next bunch of qualifiers next March I think.

    Wasn't Gary Neville's fault, he passed the ball back to Robinson, the ball bobbled, Robinson missed with his kick, 2-0.
