Coloccini hoping Newcastle can follow up successful season

Newcastle United captain Fabricio Coloccini wants to back up last season's brilliant effort with another positive showing next term.

The Toon booked a spot in the Europa League courtesy of a fifth-place finish and the Argentine centre-back wants a similar performance in the 2012/13 season after an enjoyable campaign.

"I enjoyed it, especially because we got qualification for the Europa League. For me that was very important," he said.

"Overall, it was a consistent season. I think a lot of teams found it tough to beat us and that was important. Next season, we will try and do the same."
