Excellent job, BOF, great to have someone getting close to the club and getting information straight from the horse's mouth. And I can give you some good rep.

nice one bof!!

but still confused with newcastle. Are they in intertoto or not?

NO! It means they have 'won' the Intertoto Cup for 2006-07 as they went furthest in the competition. Don't know if there is a actual cup for them to win but officially they won it. That must be their finest achievement since winning the Fairs Cup in....

1969!

Incidentally I had a look at their honours page to check that and it's hilarious! It includes such fantastic achievements as:

FL Division 2 Champions 1965
FL Promotion to top division 1898, 1948, 1984, 1965, 1993
Texaco Cup winners 1974, 1975

It actually lists evry season they have qualified for a European trophy, not won one, or even been runners-up, just qualified to play in it!
