He'll have a good season and people will still be OTT with their criticism.

 

The sniping at his looks are embarrassing. A bit of maturity is needed, this is primary school stuff.

Ironic considering your patter about him is solely based on him being dead canny in the playground.

I've given reasons why I think he's a good player on more than one occasion.

I think he's an ok player, I'n just worried he's going to be a yard short of pace to compete at this level. He's getting a lot of stick on here but that's hardly surprising since he went out of his way to antagonise Newcastle fans. He'll just have to man up and let his football do the talking.

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!”
