80

The thing most notable about that clip? The lack of faux dismay and moralising on the commentary.

Don't want to get ahead of things, but sounds like superb news.

You'll be telling us you still say things are 'ok' by using hand gestures next.

Keep up, awake is a term used by the far right anti-woke now.

Very fair comments from him.

I'm suffering the effects of whiplash from reading the new consensus on signing Gordon...

Yesterday showed how important he is to us in so many areas of our game. Unfortunately. Think him and Gordon will have fun together, though, so we've got that to look forward to.

I thought he was missing a beat for a while too.

Was aching for Targett today. Thought he put us under defensive pressure a few times and made teammates look bad.

If he's been getting his girlfriend to drive him around, and apparently getting lifts off members of the public, it seems a bit off that he'd suddenly start risking driving on public highways again. Hopefully you're right.

He's not the Messiah, he's a very clever boy.

Looks like he took the wrong turning off the M25 on the way to Chelsea

The decision on which to prefer is in the balance for me. Targett was better as a one on one defender, he was largely imperious last season. He requires less defensive support from teammates and offers more going forwards. But, I think you can argue Burn offers more to our in possession defensive structure (i.e. back 3), and therefore indirectly adds to Trippier's attacking presence. And as that analysis was describing the other day, him being there relieves aerial pressure from Schär. One of those relatively nice questions to have...

Feel like it was more of a last season song. Definitely not a next season song.

Yeah, not quite sitting right with me either... Could do with a Captain Tom slotted in there somewhere.

Aye but Gordon was a one year old when seven nation army came out. I'm standing my ground

I'm a fan - it'll be a struggle to get the home support into it though

“When I was just a little girl, I asked my mother, what will I be” It was fucking surreal, couldn't believe what I was hearing

Hope that gets ditched pronto. Dull and generic as it comes. If we're determined to go with less than half a dozen lyrics per song, at least make it Gordon is a Geordie to the moron tune.

In a strange sort of way, I can almost see us being more likely to win at Bournemouth without Bruno. I think it'll cause both us and them to change our respective games. I've been seeing that game as a Palace-style banana skin.

Got no real doubts about his match sharpness. Just hope he keeps his head!

Cocky fuck isn't he Aiming to surpass Trippier as a player? Impressive character, though.

Wtf?

It's why I struggle with people getting chippy about the likes of Jose Enrique having fuzzier feelings about Liverpool than us. We spent 10 years being a club of cunts, doing bad things to good people. Why on earth would we expect sentimentality?

I see what you mean, I don't like orchestrated atmospheres, but there's nothing organic about what we have now with people being seated randomly in rows alongside people they don't know and maybe don't like, as stewards gaze on at them trying to spot anyone standing up or saying naughty words. So... We are where we are I guess, until the club can assist with seat reallocations or terracing, at least.
