Ed Harrison — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:28:32 +0000

The only slight disappointment in this game was that Newcastle couldn’t get their 9th clean sheet of the season, after going 3-0 up just after the break.

Coloccini Willing To Cut Hair Off If Newcastle Successful

Ed Harrison — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:32:59 +0000

One of the big talking points with Fabriocio Coloccini is his hair. Coloccini – with that hair – get the comb! We noticed it when he was playing for Argentina in Germany in the World Cup in 2006, and that made him stand out, along with some steady play at the back for his country. That’s when we [...]

Coloccini Shows His Colors – Proud To Play For Newcastle

Ed Harrison — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:04:51 +0000

It’s generally agreed that Coloccini struggled in the Premier League last season, after a good start.
