How quickly he came off confirms to me he knows it is all part of recurring back/hamstring problem.

 

Seems like he is managing an injury tbh. Won't be long out but he is at risk of a hamstring tear in the long run.

Any word on his injury?

 

Pards reckons he'll be alright, although last time he said that the player ended up being out for a month so who knows.

 

Heard a rumour he was actually ok and was only subbed to warm up the can-can girls before their half time routine.

Cheers Doc.

A couple of months ago, statistics website WhoScored.com revealed that Coloccini had the worst aerial success rate for any Premier League centre-back this season – a surprising revelation. The personal problems that prompted Newcastle’s captain to request a transfer shouldn’t be ignored, of course, but they seem to be affecting his performance on the pitch.

As well as the aerial weakness, his positional play has been poor – witness his odd positioning for Bale’s second goal in Newcastle’s 2-1 defeat at Tottenham earlier this month. Coloccini was alongside Vincent Kompany in last year’s PFA Team of the Year – he won’t be elected for a second consecutive season.

 

Good summation of him this season as a whole.

How was his positioning poor for Bale's goal? Or how has his positioning been poor in general? That's absolute bollocks.

Not surprised by that at all.
