ITV4 are useless. It takes them 15 mins to actually start talking about the game.

I don't think we will ever get a full season out of him. Hate to think this but I can't see him in the black and white after the summer transfer window. Hope to be proved wrong though! The wrapping in cotton wool effect after his injuries seems a little OTT for me and I can't wait to have him back in the squad.

MOTD always portray us as a shite team that never seems to have the ball or attack, plus any decisions that make us look like cheating bastards. I stopped watching ages ago and the extra free space on my Sky box can now go towards whatever snooker tournament is on.

Perfect timing subs there. 40 seconds to change the game.

The obsession with this lad is unbelievable. Are we really setting our standards to Shane Ferguson? Bottom line is, its a good move for him and us. While he is playing more regularly, he can only improve, put some muscle on and come back to us showing a more matured, solid player. Either that or he won't return and becomes a semi decent League 1/Championship standard player throughout his career. Probably most likely.

OK, one more time......SWANSEA!!!!!

Mbiwa must be pretty frustrated and who can blame him. He was clearly bought with the view that Colo was off and now he finds himself on the bench. This guy is quality and IMHO better then both Colo (on current form) and Taylor and its baffling we are wasting him. Hope he gets his chance soon when Taylor gets injured shortly. On the positive side, Williamson is not on the pitch too.

you could see Krul was too far to the left of his goal as that was struck. Great free kick but crap positioning by Krul and Perch should have attempted to at least jump!

Is everyone really that excited about Tiote coming back? He has done little this season to impress by mostly kicking the crap out of his opponents, poor passing and terrible movement. I would rather he sat on the bench.

Should never be compared with Obertan from what I have seen. Gouffran looks quality. In terms of being Ba's replacement, look at the 2nd half of last season when Ba was playing in that position. Lack of goals aside, I thought he was cumbersome and his control and movement was terrible. I would take Gouffran in that position over Ba any day. Problem is, Cisse needs to step up his game as he is looking a distant shadow of himself from this time last year.

HP or Daddy's?

That's is more like it. I'm literally dribbling at the mouth in anticipation....

Well, on current form I think it's lunacy to think Jonas is a better option then Obertan, so we are equal on that. One thing we do agree on is that when Marveaux is fit, he has to number 1 choice.

Well, I disagree of your assessment of Obertan and think he gets a hard deal from fans. Ok, he has his flaws, but in comparison to Jonas, he is the better player and offers a lot more going forward. On current form of both players, I fail to see how Jonas is considered the better option.

So the excuse before was the 'he is knackered' which I though was bollocks at the time. He has had his 'break' and is worse then before. What excuse are we giving him this time then if he isn't finished? I dont dislike Jonas, he comes across as a decent bloke but good things come to an end and he is finished in this league IMHO. Why Pardew persists with a player so clearly poor on match day is baffling.

Only happy about this if he puts his head into the game and shows what he is capable of. Hopefully the new partnership with Mbwia will do the trick. The best positive news for this is that Williamson can go fuck Colo's wife, or anything else for that matter. As long as he isn't on the pitch then we have hope.

It will be OK. We have 2 new defenders that actually want to play. Colo hasn't turned up for half of this season and the recent defensive displays have been abysmal. I for one don't want to see Colo continuing with us with his recent form. Let him go and lets get the two new lads settled in and putting in an effort.

Could do with brushing up on his football first.....

Really? Its pretty fucking pathetic and a waste of server space.

A friend of mine is a Gooner and for a year or so he has been harping on about this lad and saying he wants him at Arsenal. He is gutted he has signed for us and thinks he is twice the player Colo is and built like a tank. At the moment, I couldn't give a fuck but if there is any hope, I do trust his his judgement.

Quite an amusing read through Google Translation. (Argentinian newspaper) http://www.clarin.com/deportes/Fuertes-criticas-Coloccini-hinchas-Newcastle_0_847715328.html

fair enough but I think you put football and money in the wrong order for most players....

Now hearing a 'rumour' we could be ripping up Colo's contract today or tomorrow and letting him go on a free. Can't believe we would do that.....hold on a minute, this is Newcastle. I can believe anything at this calamity of a club.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at Arsenal.
