If the result from our last meeting with them on the Carling Cup was to compare with today’s result, I can tell you that today we are the much-much better team against a (slightly) better Spurs team.

Duff has praised gaffer Sam Allardyce on the official site for his positive attitude during difficult period for the Magpies. Big Sam and his players have…
