"Mag propaganda" rears its head as early as post 2

 

As bad as we were last season, we're still a step up ("a higher level") for the lad. How can some of that lot deny it?

[Howay 12496]

Aye, we're not great but them daft fuckers are part of the relegation scrap every fucking season.

What did they expect him to say?

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!”

 

 

What a fucking clem.

I can't wait for this cunt to fuck off.

Thought he had decent game today.

[essembeeofsunderland 811]

I thought Jack had a very good game.He never gave Toure a chance to impose himself on the game.He rarely gave the ball away and his link up play was decent.Now we know why the crosseyed gimp and every makem wanted him to stay.I wouldn't say he is England material,unlike the makems two seasons ago.You could see the relief on his face when he ran onto the pitch knowing his days of stinking of makem piss were over.

I can honestly only assume you have a sub normal IQ to still be banging this drum

 

I agree in Colback however. He has some engine on him

[essembeeofsunderland 811]

And the IQ of people who continue to comment on it ?

Aye.A good engine and someone who will hopefully give us balance,with Dummat,down the left.

Calling a thick cunt a thick cunt means you're a thick cunt.

He actually seems like a player who can use the ball pretty well. Not in the Cabaye league of picking out through balls but just playing simple passes in a positive way that moves us up the pitch.

If he keeps up this level of performance I'll be more than happy. But as with the others he has to show that he can do it on a cold Tuesday night in Burnley as well as on his debut against the champions.

[Holden McGroin 6581]

I thought he was our best player

[Dr Gloom 21912]

i liked what i saw. file under neat and tidy. and ginger

[Howmanheyman 33113]

He needs to stop colouring his hair, it looks ridiculous, (or rediculous if you're CT).

[Christmas Tree 4725]

Neat and tidy sums it up for me. Aware of the occasion and I think we'll see quite a bit more when his confidence increases.

[essembeeofsunderland 811]

The weather in Killingworth can get cold you know. Regularly passing to a player in the same team is a start.Now if it catches on........ I also thought he was our best player.

Thought it was a good showing by Colback, probably just behind Cabella. Unlike Cabella, nowt fancy, just a solid performance.

[The Fish 10849]

How do you reckon Colback fits in Pardew's plans? Obviously Tiote will be 1st choice in the centre, but if Colback consistently plays like that, does he get ahead of Anita? Sissoko?

[David Kelly 1244]

Anita.

[The Fish 10849]

I like Anita, but yeah, he doesn't do enough that can't be done by Colback. He's technically very good and he's useful, but if Colback continues in this vein he can do the job beside Tiote that Anita is currently 1st choice for.

[David Kelly 1244]

I had moments last season where I completely lost faith in Anita and I was probably being harsh as we were clearly a complete mess after Cabaye left and we also never really worked out how to use him.

I thought he looked quite decent again on Sunday though and wouldn't be worried seeing him alongside Colback again. But I think Tiote is a big player for us so I he will be replacing Anita.

[The Fish 10849]

I wouldn't mind seeing that as midfield three against teams who're likely to enjoy the majority of the possession against us.

 

Colback Tiote Anita

 

That's a really solid grafting centre which will be very difficult to break down, imo.

Agreed - I felt many times last season he was asked to play the Cabaye role alongside Tiote, which he's clearly not cut out for.
