That thread :lol:

Colocho declaring Coloccini wasn't a central defender, and that he should've been playing in midfield all along.

 

I did point to the fact that he had played at CDM for Depor and Argentina...

 

In that case we should certainly be giving Jonas a run at right back

 

Except Colo looked good at CDM (before he joined us).

I would back Colo to look good anywhere on the field apart from goal.

I had a bet that if Coloccini was still here in our first season back in the Premier League he'd be one of our best players.  The prick I bet with, who shook my hand and told me he wasn't Premier League quality, still hasn't paid out.  Was only £10 but still, what a cunt.

Why don't you go and get it off him?

 

I've met him twice in my life (first on a night out when he made the bet and then for 10 mins at a birthday party), he's only a friend of a friend and I don't even know where he lives.  If he ever comes on a night out again I'll be after him like :)

You should hunt him down and take his kneecaps.

ALAN PARDEW is hoping he can rely on the services of his inspirational skipper Fabricio Coloccini at Carrow Road on Saturday.

 

The South American was expected to be out for two weeks – but he is at least in with a shout of taking on Norwich City in what would be a massive boost for the black-and-whites.

 

The Newcastle United manager today revealed that Coloccini has emerged with a fighting chance of being involved against the mid-table Canaries.

 

And the United faithful will be rooting for the Argentine to pull through in time.

 

However, Pardew described the thigh victim as having only a “50-50” chance of being fit for Saturday.

 

Coloccini was withdrawn in the early stages of the loss to Chelsea last weekend, and that precautionary approach could yet pay off if he is back to bolster the back four in Norfolk.

 

It wouldn’t be the first time that Coloccini has played through the pain barrier after the accomplished defender battled on with a back injury at Old Trafford two weeks ago.

 

But with fellow centre-back Steven Taylor out for the rest of the season, his return could not be more significant with Newcastle limited with their defensive options and Mike Williamson still battling to come back from an ankle injury.

 

Pardew said: “We’re really hoping that Colo is fit. He’s got a 50-50 chance, we’ll have to see.

 

“The morale in the camp has been one of disappointment because of the way the game went against Chelsea. And on top of that we lose Steven Taylor, a major blow.

 

“We’re hoping we can use that to inspire us now and show Steven that we can do it without him. It’s a real shame for him.”

 

Pardew also confirmed for the first time since the Whitley Bay lad’s Achilles operation that he will be almost certainly be out for the whole season.

 

The former West Ham United and Charlton Athletic boss said: “It’s a blow as I say, but I really can’t see him playing again this season unfortunately.

 

“Everybody is disappointed for him.”

 

Pardew was quick to heap praise on James Perch on Saturday following the loss to Chelsea, and the ex-Nottingham Forest captain is the man United will turn to partner Coloccini – if the latter manages to play.

 

The Londoner will also take Hungarian Tamas Kadar with his squad number made public this week by the club after an indifferent pre-season for the eastern European.

 

Geordie boy Jeff Henderson has also returned to the Magpies after a loan stint at Gateshead.

 

However, it remains to be seen if he is in the squad for Norwich.
