Real Madrid.Woodgate made headlines around the world when he was snapped up by Los Blancos in a shock £13.4million transfer from Newcastle back in the summer of 2004. But unfortunately, the English defender failed to make an impact at the Bernabeu due to a string of injury issues.The 42-year-old's career was often blighted by injuries - but he still managed to turn out for the likes of Tottenham and Middlesbrough, while Woodgate also won eight England caps.But it was after sealing his dream switch to Madrid that Woodgate was desperate to beat his fitness issues once and for all - and he's revealed the extreme lengths he went to in order to try and beat his demons during his spell with Los Blancos.Speaking on the Original Penguin X Campaign Against Living Miserably Under The Surface podcast, Woodgate revealed: "In Madrid I was doing 1,000 sit-ups a day trying to strengthen my core and my back, and was thinking to myself ‘1,000 sit ups a day.

Everton were pushing for a Europa League spot after investing nearly £500 million in their first-team squad.Now they're staring relegation in the face, and are on the brink of joining an infamous group of top flight teams who made the supposedly impossible happen - for all the wrong reasons.With that in mind, here are seven Premier League sides who got relegated despite being 'too good to go down'.Perhaps the most well-known example, it really was a crime against nature that a team with as many gems in it as West Ham had could finish in the bottom three.They had Joe Cole, Michael Carrick, Paolo Di Canio Jermain Defoe, Freddy Kanoute, Glen Johnson, David James, Trevor Sinclair … and it's little wonder they finished as high as seventh the season before - two places short of a club-record fifth.A torrid start to the season set the tone and the Hammers found themselves bottom at Christmas and unable to escape the calamity they'd created for themselves.Manager Glen Roeder fell ill in April and was replaced temporarily by Trevor Brooking, but by then the writing was on the wall.They were relegated on the final day, and in the summer the vultures came for their best and brightest.If Everton get relegated this season, will they be the worst of the lot?

Should James Milner have included Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane?
