League Cup Tottenham match preview
By: j | September 24th, 2008Newcastle will try to control the downward spiral today in the League (”Carling”) Cup today against a Tottenham squad anxious to reverse their own problems.
The Magpies will be have Obafemi Martins back from injury but are still without Jonas Gutierrez, Jose Enrique, Habib Beye and of-course Mark Viduka. Danny Guthrie and the violent offender are both serving suspensions as well. Ex-Spartak Moscow man, Roman Pavlyuchenko who appears to be out of favour, is rumoured to be sitting out the match with Frazier Campbell getting the nod.
Michael Owen, noted to the BBC:
“It’s important we win. It would be great for team spirit.”
“Kevin Keegan was a very popular person among the players and the fans, so it did set us back a bit.”
“It’s unfortunate but that’s the way it goes. Players are paid to play and we have got to perform.”
“We are all feeling it at the moment, but we have to try and get some confidence and results - not picking up the results is hurting the players.”
“It’s the responsibility of a few players and a few people to make sure we haven’t got any excuses. It’s up to everyone to find an extra five or 10%.”
I will report on the match as it concludes.

I’m not sure when “good news” is going to break but I do think the players are putting out a good effort on the pitch. I know that seems difficult to think of but with the present talent level and injuries, victories are going to be hard to come by.
