NEWCASTLE  UNITED  -  READING  1 : 2

Krenulo je sasvim dobro za crno-bele kada je Yohan Cabaye postigao predivan gol iz slobodnog udarca u 35. minutu prvog poluvremena, pogodivši desne rašlje Federici-evog gola i time doveo Newcastle United u vođstvo od 1:0.

Međutim, sve je krenulo po zlu kada je rezervista Reading-a Adam le Fondre u 71. minutu sa pet metara nekako ubacio loptu u mrežu svraka i izjednačio rezultat na 1:1.

Da od gore može biti još gore po Newcastle United potvrdio je upravo Adam le Fondre, koji je u 77. minutu udarcem sa desetak metara pogodio mrežu Krul-a za konačnih 1:2. St James' Park je zanemeo.


Konačan rezultat: 1 : 2

P.S.
Treba napomenuti da je Papiss Cisse promašio sve što se može promašiti, dok je Shola Ameobi bio šetač na utakmici. Ostali smo na 16. mestu Premier League, međutim posle 23. kola imamo 21 bod i sada Reading-u koji je u zoni ispadanja bežimo samo dva boda, dok je Villa ispod nas sa bodom manje. Biće vraški teško izboriti opstanak...

Reću ću vam nešto...

Sinoć sam bio veoma skenjan i utučen kada sam pročitao da nam je QPR "maznuo " Remy-a. Baš sam se skenjao... Sutra će Coloccini otići, za koji dan možda i Krul a na leto će otići Ben Arfa, Jonas...

Rešio sam da se više ne nerviram. Ne vredi se nervirati, verujte mi. Ja samo znam da kakvi god da su rezultati NUFC-a, ma ko da igra za njega, ma ko ga vodio sa klupe i ma ko bio vlasnik kluba, ja ću navijati za Newcastle United i pratiti moj Newcastle United.

Mediji u Engleskoj izveštavaju da kapiten Newcastle United-a Fabricio Coloccini želi da se vrati u Argentinu. Mediji navode da su razlozi porodične prirode.

BBC:

"Newcastle United captain Fabricio Coloccini has informed that club that wishes to leave in the January transfer window for personal reasons.

"While the 30-year-old has stopped short of handing in a formal transfer request, a crisis in his personal life has prompted him to tell manager Alan Pardew that he no longer feels he can stay on Tyneside.

"Further talks are planned in the coming days with Newcastle resolved to attempt to do all they can to persuade the Argentina international change his mind.

"But privately, club officials fear that Coloccini has already set his heart on returning home to Argentina."


The Independent:

"Newcastle United have been rocked by the request of their captain, Fabricio Coloccini, to leave the club during the January transfer window. The 30-year-old told club officials today that he wanted to return home to Argentina.

His representatives flew to Tyneside for a meeting to tell the club that the player no longer felt he could stay and wished to leave before the end of the month.

That is a massive blow to manager Alan Pardew's attempts to steer Newcastle away from the Premier League relegation zone. The club have won twice in their last 16 games and head to Norwich tomorrow without a league victory away from St James' Park this season.

Coloccini is currently the best paid player at St James' Park, on a salary of around £3m per year. He has become a hugely dependable and popular performer at the club and his display in the Tyne-Wear derby with Sunderland earlier in the season brought comparisons to Bobby Moore from Pardew.

However, Coloccini's form has dipped recently and his father, Osvaldo, has expressed a wish for his son to be allowed to return home for what his agent called "personal matters".

Newcastle must now decide whether to allow the £10m signing from Deportivo La Coruña in 2008 to leave during the transfer window. That may depend on whether they can find a replacement before the end of the month.

Coloccini signed a new four-year deal last year to stay at the club but the desire from the Argentina international now is to return home, possibly to join San Lorenzo, for whom he played for during the 2000-01 season and where his father is now employed.

Osvaldo has admitted his son is eager to move back to the club for whom he played on loan from Milan for a season. Newcastle may have to consider the possibility of loaning the central defender to San Lorenzo, with the Argentinean side unlikely to be able to pay a major fee for a player who made the Premier League team of the year last season.

Pardew had provisionally included Coloccini in his squad for Newcastle's game at Carrow Road. But San Lorenzo's president, Matias Lammens, appears hopeful of securing a swift solution, having admitted today they are interested in signing him.

"Coloccini to San Lorenzo is the plan A, B and C," Lammens said. "He represents much more than football – he played here six months and was champion, his father works at the club and is a fan. The deadline is next week but we cannot do anything crazy with the budget."
