It would be absolutely crazy to strip him of his captaincy when he's our last remaining fit central defender. If he decides to down tools on Saturday we are done.

 

His recent performances suggest the last thing we should do is leave things as they are.

 

Would you rather he wasn't playing on Saturday?

Unfortunately he has to play. I'd rather he played with a far different attitude, though. 

 

Which is why I don't think stripping him of the captaincy is going to improve his attitude. Right now the manager's job should be to pump these players with belief and pride in the shirt, not play to the fans or the media. It's better to be a cunt like Mourinho who can get his players to fight to the death than be popular Johnny who is loved by the local fans and Lee Ryder for being "honest" about his players lack of heart.

Right, but it'll never happen. More chance of Riviere scoring a double hattrick.

You could have just said "a single goal" and people would have got your point.

He's going to score this weekend.  Got a feeling about it.

Is it a similar feeling to avian flu?

I don't usually speak publicly too often, but today I feel the responsibility to talk to all of you for several reasons in which you are involved, every bit as much as we are as players, staff, directors and every person that works for the Club.

Firstly, on behalf of the squad we would like to apologise for the moment we are going through. Needless to say this is not anything intentional.

Neither players nor staff would like to be in the position that we are in at the moment. This is something that has happened for many reasons and right now there is no time to look back and correct those mistakes.

 

The time we have left to turn around this situation is short but after the end of the season we will try to learn from the mistakes we made so that we don't have to go through this again.

This is as painful for us as it is for you, because when this team comes onto the pitch we do so with the intention of winning and to defend not just the colours of this Club, not just our shirt, but also to represent thousands of fans, the whole city.

We do so understanding that a victory at the weekend means a week of joy for this city that breathes, lives and loves football like no other city in England.

Today we are in a delicate situation, one that we have been through before, and it is one of the most uncomfortable situations in the world of football.

Uncomfortable because this Club doesn't deserve to be in this position, a position that puts its status at risk. And this is what I want to highlight; this is the most important reason for my letter.

Players and staff have come together in order to leave all past problems aside and to focus 100 per cent on the three 'cup finals' that we have left.

I would like to make a call to all fans today to also leave aside all differences, all different opinions, anything that divides us as people who love this Club.

On Saturday, please come to St. James' Park, create a great atmosphere, support the team more than ever, because at the end of the day what matters the most here is Newcastle United Football Club.

Years will pass and so will players, directors, coaches and managers, but what is always going to be there is yourselves, your children, your grandchildren.

I am also a fan and I understand how badly you are hurting, but I think that the best fans are those who are there for their Club in the worst of situations.

Today we need you more than ever. In these three games we need to be together, we need to be united, to be a family - a family that fights together against adversity, a family that strives to achieve the success that you and this Club deserve.

The players are committed to this and if you stay with us, if you join us, we are going to fight together for our black and white family.

Thank you from my heart,

Your captain

Fabricio Coloccini
