Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder claims his side have landed in the toughest possible UEFA Cup group.
The Magpies were drawn to face Turkish side Fenerbahce, Italian outfit Palermo, Spanish team Celta Vigo and Eintracht Frankfurt of Germany.
The top three qualify for the knockout phase of the competition, but Roeder told official club website www.nufc.co.uk: "Undoubtedly, that is the toughest group."
