Are Newcastle Bigger And Better Than Spurs?

Last updated : 30 November 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor

Today former Toon defender Jonathan Woodgate claims Tottenham can still achieve a top-six finish this season despite their horrendous run of form under Juande Ramos.

So ... if Spurs can believe it ... why can't we do it?

Why would Given WANT to go to White Hart Lane, when he is hero-worshipped here on Tyneside?

Jonathan Woodgate: "I think we are only four points behind Everton, who are close to the top six.

"So Sunday is a vital game. There are so many points up for grabs there and I'm sure we can push for a top-six place.

"But, first and foremost, we are at the bottom of the table and must win games.

"Every game you play is a fight. It's not easy. You have to roll up your sleeves, dig deep and fight, and really start playing, because we know we have quality in the dressing room."

Big money signing from Leeds Utd £9m. Central defender capped by England at full level, and tipped to be captain of Newcastle for years to come. Had his problems at Leeds with a court case that threatened to ruin his career. Middlesbrough-born. But injury ruined his Newcastle career just as it did at Leeds, and amazingly Real Madrid signed him for £13m ... and he passed his medical!
