  FK Ventspils vs Newcastle (Bramble's goal)
YouTube - FK Ventspils vs Newcastle(bramble's goal)

Was very pleased to see Newcastle get the win, the away goal, and the clean sheet in their UEFA Cup qualifying round match on Thursday... Should be fairly straight forward to wrap this up in 2 weeks time and move forward into the proper competition.

About the Group stage from UEFA.com:
Two qualifying rounds produce a first round of 80 teams who play over two legs to find the 40 clubs that make up the group stage. This phase comprises eight groups of five, with each side playing four games, two at home and two away. The winners, runners-up and third-placed teams from each section advance to the last 32 where they are joined by the eight third-placed clubs from the UEFA Champions League. Here, the traditional two-match knockout format resumes, until the final.

Name:

I think a lot. Some people say I think too much... However, I don't want to be seen as being aloof or pretentious, it's just that I really enjoy philosophical questions and deep thoughts. That's not to say that I don't find pleasure in more down-to-earth or trivial things, like beer and soccer :) I'm happily married with 3 wonderful children. I'm a partner in a technology services company based in Toronto. Myers Briggs says I'm an ENTJ
