Rayo the role model Each of the eleven willl be hoping to emulate, or even improve upon, the achievements of Rayo Vallecano, who reached the quarter-finals of this season's UEFA Cup after qualifying as a Fair Play winner.

Belarus finish top The following clubs have been nominated by their associations, each of which finished behind Belarus in the top 12. Shakhtior Soligorsk themselves were second in the Belarus domestic Fair Play competition, but the winners, FC Slavia Mozyr, have already qualified for the UEFA Champions League.

UEFA will fix it for us to be in. We are better for the competition than the rest of the teams in the draw put together.

I wonder what the odds of two teams named the same(ish) of getting through? Neuchatel and Newcastle. It's amai=zing what you read on the internet ;-)

Hmmm - that's odd.

Mypa plays in arsenal-styled Red and White. If Mypa and Newcastle would be picked and then drawn against that would be easy qualification for the Toon and I could see us here in Finland. ;-)

Ok maybe I'll just turn sideways. :) I've been reading the BBS since the Communicata days but not actually been able to contribute regularly. Too little spare time at work (what a pity) and not having intenet-connection at home. I've been considering quitting the job to be able to contribute here more... Seriously, the is always in order atleast in order you don't remember me. So hey to you, and all!
