Belgium have a fairly easy qualifying group as well - with the attacking threat they have they should walk the group easy:
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Greece
Estonia
Cyprus
Gibraltar

Newcastle away game being one. As they wear black shorts, I'm presuming that we'll need to wear the red third choice top with the home blue shorts and socks.
No secret he was going. Jacketts known for weeks. Their original number one target was Julen Lopetegui and they offered him the job earlier this season and an agreement was in place for him to take the reigns when they took over, but he was subsequently offered the Spain job which he then accepted.
Yep and it's not possible to get any players in on loan after that point also. Also Premiership Clubs don't have to name their 25 man squads until 2 days later.
If that does prove to be the case then it can only be a good thing that another club has come in for him, as it should force the price received up. If Stephens does go (which is looking more and more likely), my only hope is that the club has planned ahead for this scenario and that an equally...
Widely known that he's available. Rodgers doesn't rate him and considering a Celtic fan set up a Just Giving page to help fund Fenebaches purchase of him proves that a lot of fans probably don't either.
Nélson Oliveira? Had a bit of a nomadic career so far and it's not like Braga are short of options upfront. He's also got an ankle injury and we all know how prone the club is to signing injured players.
You would assume that if Giggs did take over he'd want someone who he was used to working with and who knows the club, so Mike Phelan to continue in his current role there would make a lot of sense. Beyond them it's the common bunch of names ie McLaren, Martinez and Warnock.
Also another explanation is that we're after players whose current clubs are competing in either Champions League or Europe League qualification and who will only want to do business after they've been knocked out.
But on plus side Andy Carroll will now be overjoyed.
Seriously though think Big Sam will pick players on merit, not just because they play for a big club and don't think anyone will expect the football played to be pretty.
