Ikon Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Looking at Red Cafe, where the members choose their TOTY from this season, Colo is selected in most teams. Love him, such a classy footballer and pro. Absolutely delighted over him signing a new long term deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Now that he's signed a new deal it's OK for people to notice him. Before I was hoping they kept thinking he was shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SeanNjitap Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 He has to be the most technically gifted centre backs I've ever seen play in the premier league. Never rushes the ball from back to front. He leads the team by example as he never gets into altercations and what not like the fool down the road does. I still think he's our best player and most important player. A defender of his quality is something Newcastle hasn't seen since Woodgates half season. It's about time he gets the recognition he deserves and gets another chance at International football. Too good not to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Favourite player along with Ben Arfa of the current squad. Probably in the Robert/Solano/Speed bracket (i.e just under Shearer) when it comes to all time for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I don't think it's possible to put anyone above him, just a lovely bloke who's amazing player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Four more years, at least, of him too. Think he'll easily be seen alongside people like Shearer if he sees that through, which I fully expect him to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ThievingMagpie Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Colo is the best centerback we've had for a while and if he stays til his contract is up I reckon he'll be not only a legend but a true pillar in the history of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Man. He needs to stay here until 2018, 36 years old for a testamonial. Quite sad that I'm looking that far ahead and praying for it to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakie Doke Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Shola's testimonial would be amazing. Against Sunderland of course, Sammy and Tomi start upfront with Shola on the bench (his hip will have finally exploded by this point). Sunderland 2-1 up until we are awarded a very soft penalty late on. Camera pans to Shola who smiles, gets up off the bench and comes on for Sammy to a standing ovation from the 15,000 present (most of whom are Ameobi descendants). Ba takes the penalty and misses.

Quite sad that I'm looking that far ahead and praying for it to happen. If Shola is still here in 2018 I will happily go along to his testimonial. Reckon he would get a decent line up along as well - I bet he has a lot of friends in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 The board have a policy against player testimonials don't they? Given, Harper and Shola all signed away their rights to a testimonial and were instead given VIP charity events. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 What exactly is a "policy" against testimonials? Shola should get one, il get to it if I can How is he doing in top ever appearances? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Just had a look at the official site and Jackie Milburn is number 10 in the all-time appearance list with 397 appearances. Don't think Shola will make the top 10 like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Said it before, but Shola definitely needs a testimonial. Get Bobby's team back and all the proceeds can go to his foundation. Also, they need to have Carl Cort there so him and Shola can wear each others shirts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Loven11 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 FABRICIO COLOCCINI has revealed he would have regretted it for life had he quit Newcastle United in the aftermath of relegation. Now, with the Magpies dreaming of the Champions League next season, Coloccini admits he has to pinch himself as he captains a team on the brink of Europe just two years after away days at Plymouth and Scunthorpe. Coloccini opted to stay on Tyneside when the likes of Obafemi Martins, Habib Beye, Damien Duff and Seb Bassong moved on for bigger things. The defender – who can lead United into fourth place today against Stoke City – told the Chronicle: “People left and I suppose I could have too. “I was thinking ‘I have a black star on my career CV’ because we were going down. “But I felt responsibility and wanted to turn it around. I wanted to fix the damage and repair things.” And Coloccini has certainly done that with some aplomb, with United in with a shout of joining Bayern Munich, AC Milan and Real Madrid on Europe’s top table next term. When asked if he would have regretted leaving, he said: “Yes, but I wanted to stay. I was happy here. “Now it would be our dream to get in the Champions League. “But we’ll soon wake up if we don’t focus on the last five games.” Nevertheless, a win against Stoke would all but confirm a place in the Europa League this weekend if Everton and Liverpool don’t win against Manchester United and West Brom respectively. Coloccini said: “We’re happy because we are near to confirmation we’ll be in the Europa League. “It’s all good news at Newcastle. The fans can be happy going into the final five games.” Coloccini also feels that those who wrote the Magpies off last summer have been proved wrong – although, he did accept that survival was a primary aim last July when he was appointed captain, an aim that was passed in style some time ago. The Argentina international said: “At the start of the season we started to think about getting 45 points first. “The first aim was to be in the Premier League next season. But we did well throughout the season. We’ve kept our feet on the floor. That is the reason why we are fighting for a European position.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/04/21/fabricio-coloccini-pleased-he-stayed-at-nufc-72703-30806324/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter#ixzz1sfTiSBLU Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
