Jack Colback (now a free agent)

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is so desperate to beat his Manchester City jinx that he’s looking to a Sunderland old boy to act as a lucky charm.

 

Jack Colback made a controversial move to St James’ this summer when he quit the Black Cats as a free agent.

 

The Toon-supporting midfielder figured in three of Sunderland’s four successive 1-0 home wins against City.

 

And Pardew is hoping the 24-year-old Colback can work some magic for the Magpies against the champions tomorrow.

 

City are Newcastle’s first-day opponents for the second season running – 12 months ago, Manuel Pellegrini’s men won 4-0 at the Etihad.

 

Pardew has also lost all eight games against City, who have won their last 10 against Toon in all competitions.

 

But Pardew, reminded of Colback’s winning run with Sunderland over City, quipped: “Thank god for that – it’s why I signed him!

 

“One of our best displays last season was against City, and we were beaten. They’re the type of team who, even if you’re at your very best against them, will still beat you.

 

“But I do think we’re really well set for this game. Hopefully we can get some kind of result against them because our record isn’t great. With Jack in the side, obviously anything can happen!”

The exclamation mark annoys me an unreasonable amount there, as if he said it with a massive shit eating grin on his stupid twatty face.

Hang on, when were we good against Man City? :lol:

 

Must be referring to last season when Tiotes strike got disallowed. To be fair, I thought we deserved something from that game.
