Interesting to see that in Hasselbaink's new book Woodgate get's slated.Apparently he turned up for training aged 18 :alcoholic pi55ed regularly.

What is with talented people that seem hell bent on throwing it away :confused:

Alternately, "what is it with talented people who are also 18 years old and just want to be exactly like all the other 18 year olds in their private life?"

Yah, yah, it's wrong because their body is their 'career'. But if I were to call teenagers names for drinking I'd be a sublime hypocrite. Bet you would too.

It seems as if he has turned it around though.

He was a young bloke then who made a lot of mistakes, it's people who still make them at 28, 38 and 48 I have no sympathy for.
 

Jonathan Woodgate

Oh dear. & so it begins again.

Poor (well actually very rich) bloke is cursed. :(
 

Jonathan Woodgate

In 4 weeks watch for the "Woodgate breaks down in training" story, followed by surgery. Then the inevitable "shutting it down for the season" notice in the papers.

But he'll be back next season folks and he's going to really make that centerhalf job at Real his this time! :rolleyes:

And for England's sake too.

If Rio Ferdinand goes to the WC as anything other than fourth choice England won't be good enough to win it IMHO.

Has he really turned it around :confused: according to the article in todays Sun http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005590175,00.html

He was'nt spunking cash on the bookies that long ago.
 

Jonathan Woodgate

did an interview in Spanish, seems to have turned his troubled life around a bit, was impressed
 

Jonathan Woodgate

If he pulls his finger out of his ass in the second half of the season, there's a centre-back spot open for the England squad seeing as Sol may not make it...
 

Jonathan Woodgate

He'll be injured by 1 March, mark my words.

I said this to mates earlier. Rio can't get in at CB, Sol has lost his marbles - all of a sudden we are in serious need of back up in the one position we never had a worry in.
 

Jonathan Woodgate

I was including Carragher in the 11, I'm talking squad players here. Looks like Ledley's in 3rd place now.

I'm :scratch: as to why Rio can't get in at centre back.

Before Ferguson decided to move him to plug a gap he had looked as good as he had for years.

They commented on Sky yesterday, he's tried a forward there (Smith), now he's trying a defender (Ferdy) - :idea: why not try a f***ing midfielder?!?!?!

it's a helluva lot of titles to have been a fluke, but Ferguson is not a great manager....
 

Jonathan Woodgate

What do I win?

Woodgate faces month out with thigh tear

MADRID, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Real Madrid defender Jonathan Woodgate faces a month on the sidelines after suffering a suspected muscle tear in his left thigh during his side's 1-0 defeat at home to Arsenal on Tuesday.

The English centre-back sustained the injury in the opening exchanges of the game at the Bernabeu as he tried to chase down the Arsenal forwards and was forced to leave the pitch after just nine minutes.


Woodgate has been plagued by muscular injuries ever since recovering from a serious thigh problem that kept him on the sidelines for 18 months and the latest setback will jeopardise his chances of winning an international return ahead of this year's World Cup.

'It's devastating for him, but I don't think it's a major strain, I think it's his hamstring again,' said team mate and England captain David Beckham.

'It must be terrible for him personally.'

Woodgate started the match as one of the two English players in the Real team along with England skipper David Beckham. None of the 14 players who appeared for Arsenal on the night - the 11 starters and the three substitutes who came on, were English.

I think he's got to realise his body aint up to it, how many injuries can he possibly get.

If I were a hippy, I'd say that there is some kind of karma thing going on here. After all, Lee Bowyer seems equally troubled.
 

Jonathan Woodgate

Woodgate is being put out on loan to the Premiership... that's him out then
 

Jonathan Woodgate

....asking Darren Anderton for advice.................
 

Jonathan Woodgate

... Looks like its going to be Boro.
 

Jonathan Woodgate

It is Boro. What is the over/under on when he'll have to admit that he's finished for the season due to his hamstring/metatarsal/knee/shoulder? I'd wager Christmas or 10 matches, whichever comes first.

[by the way, don't think I'm enjoying this - he actually seems like a nice enough guy. But his body just wasn't designed for football. Shame]
 

Jonathan Woodgate

blimey he's getting £50K at week from Real and Boro:rolleyes: :eek: :eek:
 

Jonathan Woodgate

No, and I knew that someone would think they were clever and ask this. My impression of Woodgate is that he was and is a basically decent (if dim) guy who was surrounded a lot of ****head chavs like Ian Bowyer. From everything everyone has ever said about him as a person, and from the interviews I've read with him, he sounds like a solid (if dim) individual with some real basic integrity. Think this has a lot to do with why people in football are all pulling for him so much.

I could of course be wrong, but that is my impression.

Former Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale has revealed that Jonathan Woodgate provided him with one of his biggest laughs at Elland Road. Apparently, the defender once left his passport at home on a European trip because Ridsdale told him to keep it somewhere 'safe'. (The Sun)

:laugh:
 

Jonathan Woodgate

any defender who goes to Newcastle invariable loses any quality he may have ever had, I expect him to be struck down with an injury 2 games in
 

Jonathan Woodgate

Good move for spurs, if he stays fit. King and Woodgate at centre back is a good combination.
 

Jonathan Woodgate

Woodgate would be a good signing on a free transfer and a pay-as-you-play contract, but at a reputed £7m and presumably a salary around the £3m pa level, it seems a big risk on a guy who has probably played less than a third of the possible games over the last 4 years or so.

If they stay fit, he and King would be a great combination, but that's a big if.
 

Jonathan Woodgate

King can only manage 1 game in 3, can see him packing it in soon
 

Jonathan Woodgate

For some reason I admire the guy, he seems to have come through a lot and come out with an enhanced reputation. I hope he does well for Spurs and England.

Mind you seeing him on Match of the day did not enhance his image rights, was he competing with Hunt for the most ludicroulsy dressed TV interview or was he serious about that headgear....
