Disco Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Wasn't the story, when Coloccini was hoping to go back to Argentina and play for San Lorenzo, all about a struggling team with no cash playing at the bottom of the league? Semi-retirement at an almost semi-pro level? Is that the same team who are playing Real Madrid in the Club World Cup final tonight? (genuine question, if it's not, it's not) To answer your 3 questions: Yes, No, Yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A massive upturn in fortunes, or were their doldrums not that bad to begin with? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A massive upturn in fortunes, or were their doldrums not that bad to begin with? They weren't that bad and the way the Argentine league is split into 2x short championships you can easily be top one then bottom the other but either way they massively overachieved to win the Copa Libertadores last season. Argentine league is fairly shit though, probably on a par with Turkey or somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crayola Kid Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Fair play. I think a league system where fortunes can turn so quickly is probably more healthy and enjoyable for the fans, but that ship has well and truly sailed as far as the prem is concerned Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Would love a carbon copy of his goal against WBA to be the winner tomorrow, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Hate him after what happened with him wanting to leave on a free. People give HBA shit but this guy is a coward and to see people singing his name makes me sick. Just reminds me how fuckingstupid our fans are. Same as with Carver, Woodman and Chieck... Every time they are on the pitch or the dugout people should hound these cunts out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 We have no real clue why he wanted to leave, we know his family fucked off back to Argentina and he wanted out at the time but fuck knows about the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiesteve710 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Colo is one of my favourite players in the squad, but safe to say we can file Man Utds second under 'D' for dereliction of duty by the captain. Outrageous stuff, senior centre back stood not just out of position but on the bloody touchline watching as they slice through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Colo is one of my favourite players in the squad, but safe to say we can file Man Utds second under 'D' for dereliction of duty by the captain. Outrageous stuff, senior centre back stood not just out of position but on the bloody touchline watching as they slice through. Aye was shocking. Should never have just wandered over when we were being pressed like that. I blame him more than colback for that goal, colback suddenly had a gaping hole at centre half that he couldn't fill.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Colo's always been a shit captain imo and as a player he's been well below par defensively for at least two seasons now. Obviously he'll have the odd blinder and roll back the years, but people only tend to notice him doing that over him playing badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 So, if it is him, what are your thoughts? Absolutely fuck knows. Could be the greatest/worst appointment in the history of the game. He'll know fuck all about coaching etc but I'd, at the least, think he prefers passing football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 So, if it is him, what are your thoughts? Less clueless than Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Won't last if true. Thinking I guess is to basically not have a manager making any important decisions. It'll go badly wrong cos he'll pick his friends in the dressing room rather than on merit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 So, if it is him, what are your thoughts? There's no possible way anybody can know how good he is as a manager To be honest as a captain he doesn't speak/command as much as he should. I don't believe they would give him the job though.
