Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

Yeah that was cringe worthy. :(

 

Why? What point were the fans trying to make?

 

I imagine being Anita at the moment and seeing this average Joe ahead of you. :(

 

Anita is no better or worse than Colback  Better off selling Anita if we can find a buyer..

Everyone laughed when we got this guy and it was suggested that he was the replacement for Cabaye, but it's actually true, as unbelievable as that may be.

 

Yeah, I had to defend that point for ages on here :lol: if I was a c*** id drag up the old posts

 

Me too. Some people still are holding on to the belief he doesn't play the same role as Cabaye.

 

Was clear as day, sell Cabs, replace him with free player. Our fans seem massively happy with it like

 

I think there must be an entire generation by this point who has never experienced us being a good team first hand. That's why there's a lack of standards these days. Particularly on Social Bantedia.

 

Must be, but I mean it's not even that long ago like, it should be ingrained in them by now. Depressing

 

03/04 was 11 years ago. Therefore those who are 18-24 probably don't remember the good times very well.

 

I think you underestimate the human memory. I'm 25 and remember the Bobby era very well, and remember Keegan (1) to a large extent. I feel most sorry for me, my first NUFC memories are the Keegan era, couldn't be worse for setting up disappointment.

 

Proper cringeworthy the way he got an extra big cheer with the line-up too. Reduced to cheering bosman mediocre mackems to wind them up.

Anita gets the Ben Arfa treatment, has barely been picked in a run of games and one of the first players dropped when it all goes tits up .  This cunt is an ever present and has managed to produce the square root of fuck all in almost a half season and he will continue to be played as long as the cunt we have masquerading as a football manager is here.

Anita no better than Colback :lol:

 

Anita is a level above Colback in terms of technique, movement and passing.  He plays it first time, keeps things moving and knows where to position himself for a return.  Colback runs around.

Funnily enough this has been brought up before and my opinion hasn't changed.

 

Anita is a player that recycles things, knows his pass before he receives it and has a good footballing brain. He's a small but important part in a good midfield. Without other roles being filled it doesn't work. We could have had Sissoko, Cabaye, Anita for ages but never did.

 

I don't rate Colback at all and certainly wouldn't have him ahead of Anita. The fact he's a Cabaye replacement is nothing short of embarrassing and laughable.

I am sorry like but Colback is a better player than Anita.  I have yet to see anything from Anita that makes him get the adulation he receives on this board. 

 

You should be sorry, because you're wrong.

He doesn't receive adulation at all. People just recognise that he's a really clever and intelligent footballer who will never show what he is capable of because of the way Pardew has us setup.

 

Colback on the other hand is a player perfectly suited to the way we play under Pardew. Constantly under pressure, being told to just basically run around and get stuck in where you can. It's fucking archaic man.

I see this said a lot but no-one ever gives actual reasons for this opinion.

 

Anita isn't a hardworking local lad who "gets stuck in", which apparently what gets you the plaudits nowadays. Next year scoring for the Ballon D'or is going to be based on 10% actual footballing achievement, 90% gets-stuck-in-ometer rating.

Embarrassing that Cattermole actually outplayed him (even though he should have had two yellows and been off).

 

Not like that wasn't predictable. Poyet already said Cattermole was the better player and Jack obliged with his invisible man act performance.

This.

 

Very surprised you think this way. Enjoy Jackie's derby performance?

 

Quite the shock wasn't it :lol:

 

I reckon I might hate people.

bossed him, was horrible to see. Abeid would have swatted the c*** aside

 

The way Abeid handled Man City & Liverpool suggest the same to anyone with eyes. But naw, Senor Fuck face who manages us would rather throw in his shit slow terrible enforcer to get shown for being a poor footballer incapable of handling a big match who's only picked on how he played his first season for us.
