Alan Shearer says that Newcastle "are big enough" to win the league ahead of Manchester United and Arsenal. It will be tough, but everyone, especially Big Al is confident.

Newcastle United skipper, Alan Shearer insists that The Magpies' are "big enough" to win the Premiership next season. This will mean overcoming Manchester United and Arsenal, but Shearer is confident.

Shearer said, "We're certainly big enough! We're in the Champions League, we have the ground and we're confident we can give it another good go.

"It's going to be a huge season for us. We had a great season last year but we need to improve if we are going to interrupt the double placing of Arsenal and Manchester United.

"It's not going to be easy but it won't be for a lack of trying. The manager is working on a couple of signings and we'll certainly give it a right good go.

"We're not promising anything but we'll work very hard and see what happens."
