Fabricio Coloccini has been an absolute steal for £10.5m from Deportivo La Coruna

Fabricio Coloccini volleys Newcastle United into the lead at home to Tottenham

Coloccini - Has been outstanding in only his 2nd season in the Premier League

I think we all remember Fabricio Coloccini’s first season in the Premier League. Lack of pace, and prone to many a blunder. Some of us asked ourselves if he was really worth the £10.5m Kevin Keegan paid over, if in fact he was Kevin’s choice at all.
Following relegation, Coloccini did not leave and it seemed as if no one was going to take a gamble on the Argentinian international after what was nothing [Read more →]

Clint Dempsey is a player Newcastle United should be looking at this summer

Clint Dempsey salutes the crowd after scoring his 10th goal for Fulham

However, a home tie against the Red Devils always brings excitement and we are sure to have [Read more →]

A typical overreaction to Newcastle United’s stuttering form from the majority

Alan Pardew shakes hands with Joey Barton after Newcastle's 3-1 vs. Liverpool

Pardew - Will keep Newcastle United in the Premier League this season

I watched the whole ninety minutes of Newcastle United’s thumping at the Britannia on Saturday and was less than impressed as you would. We were dominated, looked heartless and make a desperate Stoke City team look like a team a division above us.
Jon Walters header before the break was a great header from a great Jermaine Pennant cross; take nothing away from them. Sol Campbell was [Read more →]
