.Spurs through after Feyenoord lose appeal
Tottenham's buy into the last 16 of the UEFA Cup has been confirmed after Feyenoord lost an appeal against being kicked out of the competition.
Feyenoord were expelled and fined £41,000 (100,000 Swiss francs) by UEFA after crowd trouble against French side Nancy in the group stage.
The Dutch club appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne which on Friday rejected their claim.
The CAS said in a statement: 'The court has dismissed the appeal filed by Feyenoord Rotterdam against the decision issued by UEFA to exclude the Dutch club from the UEFA Cup for the season 2006-2007.
'The CAS has confirmed in full the UEFA decision which, in addition to the exclusion, imposes a fine of CHF100,000 on Feyenoord.'
UEFA president Michel Platini welcomed the announcement.
Platini said: 'I am very happy with the decision of CAS to uphold the UEFA appeals body judgement.
'This sends out a strong message that acts of violence by fans within the game will be heavily dealt with and punished by the relevant authorities.
'Recent tragic incidents have shown that we must work together to eradicate all forms of hooliganism or violence from our game.'
The UEFA Cup match at Nancy was suspended for more than 30 minutes after the French side had gone 3-0 in front.
Dutch fans tried to smash the glass barriers in the stands and threw seats at stewards.
Platini was a Juventus player at the 1985 Heysel disaster when 39 mainly Juventus fans died when a wall collapsed after a stampede by Liverpool supporters.
Last week he signalled his support for strong action in Italy following the death of policeman Filippo Raciti at the Sicily derby between Catania and Palermo.
Feyenoord were less impressed by the decision.
'We must accept this decision,' said club director Onno Jacobs in remarks reported by www.feyenoord.nl.
'But it keeps on being strange that our club and our real supporters are victims of the misbehaviour of people we have nothing to do with.
'We have said over and over again that we as a club were powerless in this case, because the people who misbehaved got tickets for the game from sources that were not in our jurisdiction.
'That is why Feyenoord feels that it has been hurt. This is a very heavy punishment.'

Tomorrow is the great game Werder vs Ajax.
Line-up is pretty unclear, but possibly:
--------------------Wiese-------------------
---Fritz----Mertesacker---Naldo---Womé-
---------------------------------------------
-------------Vranjes/Schulz------------------
-------Frings--------------Jensen---------
-------------------Diego------------------
---------------------------------------------
---------Klose-------Almeida/Hunt---------
My guess is 2-0.

I like him as a full-back, too. He's much better than Pierre Womé. In midfield he's not been so good lately, so I think Jurica Vranjes might take tis position tonight. He's been one of the best vs Stuttgart.
But still we have a much better team, so I'm confident that we'll sent them home with a loss.

Easier than I thought. Ajax had no chance, not only because Lindebergh was sent off so early. We could have scored at least three goals more, because that's the number of our players hitting either the post (Naldo, Almeida) or the crossbar (Diego). But this thing is over anyways. I wonder who we'll get: Spartak or Celta vigo.
