Newcastle United skipper Fabricio Coloccini has urged fans to stick with them.

The Toon meet Swansea City this weekend.

"The fans have been fantastic," he said. "We just have to keep going.

"We are training hard and giving everything. You can see on the pitch we want to win the games. The other teams have maybe two chances against us, and they score. That happens when you are having a bad time."
