Was Colback as loathed by your lot as he is on here?

 

Not really. I always thought he was an average squad player and I did say that at the time he went to you lot. I always preferred him at left back rather than midfield because his influence on the game was often poor when he was in the middle of the park. I can't ever remember him getting MOTM at our place, and he played over 100 times for us. After watching his display against Borini on Sunday (a player who's been bang average this season) I think he's probably best off on the bench.

Generous.

Coming off the cliff more like.

[Guest dabe]

I wonder how much ginger-washing will occur in the future over this guys career..."With over 400 league appearances, he was affectionately known by the Geordie faithful as the Ginger Pirlo" or "Never afraid to take the difficult pass/shot/dribble"...

 

He'll be remembered well and knowing this is coming in the next 15 years irks me, perhaps as much as seeing this imposter play in the present.

[Skeletor]

That yellow on Sunday may just save our season. Especially if the rumours of his 'must play when fit' clause are true.

I keep hearing about this on here. Is this a joke being said in jest or is there any actual basis for this rumour that I've missed? Who the f*** in their right mind in the world of football would guarantee a useless shitehawk like Colback a starting place in a Premiership team?

[Leazes_End_Mag]

I can't wait for him to be club captain in the Championship next season!

Thats an absolute certainty if we do go down and Collo fs off.

I wholeheartedly agree assuming you mean a local park bench feeding stale bread to pigeons.

He's just so obviously deficient, worst regular starter we've had in ages. I'm struggling to think of a worse one since Smith.

Mick Lowes and John Anderson said it on a train back from London. They said that it was Pardews deal clincher to stop him joining West Ham.

 

It'll be bollocks.

[Ste]

It's bollocks, just like it was when people thought Alan Smith had the same clause.

[Optimistic Nut]

If Rafa stays then he'll end up at someone like Boro or Hull surely. No way can he stay.

He's been worse this season than last.

Jack Colback has praised Newcastle United’s character after the Magpies fought back to claim a “massive point” against Sunderland in Sunday’s Tyne-Wear derby.

 

The 26-year-old midfielder, who filled in as a makeshift left-back against his former side, also revealed that Rafa Benitez’s half-time message helped inspire their comeback.

 

Newcastle have struggled when they have fallen behind all season, but Benitez told his charges to remain positive and keep trying to play their own game.

 

“He (Benitez) just said we had to be positive and keep going,” Colback explained.

 

“Everybody knows our biggest weakness this season is going behind and struggling to get back into games, but we’ve done that.

 

“Obviously, we’re not happy with a point by any means.

 

“But when you go 1-0 down, you’re satisfied at the end to get a draw.”

 

A draw ensured the Magpies remain three points off safety and languishing in the Premier League dropzone heading into this international weekend.

 

Though the United squad were disappointed not to claim all three points, the fact they ended their six-match losing run against their bitter rivals was a positive, believes Colback.

 

“It’s a massive point in the end,” he added.

 

“You’re hoping to get the win, but once you go 1-0 down, to get a point is a good result in the end.

 

“I think it was cagey. Neither side wanted to give anything away or lose the game knowing how important it was.

 

“Once we went 1-0 down we had to react and show character. We did that and managed to get the equaliser.”

 

 

 

Colback came up through Sunderland’s youth system and has represented both sides of the Tyne-Wear divide in derbies, even scoring at St James’ Park for the Black Cats back in 2014.

 

Being born and bred in the North East, Colback does not need reminding of the magnitude of this fixture.

 

“Obviously, being from the area I realise how big the game is,” Colback said.

 

“You kind of get texts off friends beforehand praying we don’t lose and praying that we get a win.

 

“It’s a great game to play in.

 

“We haven’t had too much joy in it, but we’ll take a point.”

 

Jermain Defoe put Sunderland ahead just before half-time on Sunday, before Aleksandar Mitrovic jumped highest in the 83rd minute to nod Newcastle level.

 

Speaking about his United teammate, Colback said of Mitrovic: “That’s probably his biggest strength – his aerial ability.

 

“It was a great header – it was a great player by Gini (Georginio Wijnaldum) to get it in there (and whip the cross in) – and I think we probably deserved it in the end.

 

“It would have been harsh to lose it in the end.”

 

Just 18 minutes into the Tyne-Wear derby, Colback fouled Fabio Borini and picked up his 10th booking of the season.

 

That automatically triggers a two-match suspension and the Geordie midfielder will now miss United’s upcoming clashes with Norwich City and Southampton.

 

But Colback was philosophical about the ban, stating: “It was going to come at some point.

 

“I think I did well to get to this game without one.

 

“It felt like I won the ball, to be honest, but the referee thought otherwise.

 

“It’ll be disappointing to miss the two games, but that’s just the way it is. I’ve got to deal with it.”

 

[Nobody]

Aye, great job on only just picking up your tenth yellow of the season, you useless cunt

[Miercoles]

Hate all this "once you go 1-0 down you have to be happy with a draw" bullshit. Like it's unthinkable to score 2 goals.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh... 

[Dr Venkman]

Not a bad interview, in the end.
