The Athletic: Can we ask you a question or two about shithousing, please? Burn: (laughs) “Yeah.” TA: The last five minutes felt like violent, beautiful poetry and the team has done that on a few occasions this season. It’s that thing about knowing how to win a game and doing everything it takes to win, isn’t it? DB: “I think that started from when I came, really. We were tough to beat last season. We weren’t a soft touch. Teams were having to work really hard to get through us and it’s the same now. Once we gain the lead, we’re confident. We don’t panic, even when we’re under pressure and yeah, those little bits we do… it was great seeing people flying into tackles and hearing the crowd roar, that sort of stuff.” TA: The one defeat this season was at Liverpool, but it felt like an important statement in some ways, the way you irritated Anfield and got people wound up. It feels like the first time in a long time that Newcastle are going to places like that and having that attitude. DB: “It was something the gaffer talked about at the start of the season. Our mentality is ‘it’s us against the world’. We feed off that. If we’ve got to win ugly, we’ll win ugly and be tough to beat. That sole defeat was an absolute sickener but to go there and play the way we did showed great character.” TA: That mentality has always been part of the city’s, the north east’s identity, hasn’t it? That we’re left to fend for ourselves, so we stick up for ourselves. That’s our history. DB: “Definitely. Football is different up here. It’s a working-class city and people want players to work hard. When I was sat up in the stand, that’s what I wanted. If the players worked hard and got beat, you would accept it. That’s our attitude in every single game — we’ll go out and leave it all on the pitch.”

Exile 1968 Winger Yesterday at 8:50 PM #8,210 Until the Saudis have their hands on everything Sports wise, to Sportswash their disgusting crimes feom football to Formula 1 to LIV. Whist Governments support them & turn a blind eye because of oil, while they condemn Putin yet give ammunity to MBS despite knowing he is responsible for 9/11, the killing of a journalist etc. While the Tories make money out of selling arms to these absolute bastards & until the oil runs out, they will fix sport so they can claim to be a forward thinking nation. Like Qatar they will win the right to host a WC & will probably nobble everyone to win it. Football is fucked. I pray the ESL happens NOW so we can get our game back. I pray that one day soon their disgusting owner commits his last atrocity & the world wakes up to these backward savage animals.

YOUR OWNER MURDERS CHILDREN YOU SICK SICK WIERDOS Exile 1968 Winger Today at 1:26 AM #8,232 Hi Lads. Bet you're wanking over your Pedo murdering owner. Shows you agree with his ways. And feel the need to come on a rivals message board to defend his Excellency. Well done and your opinion means nothing worshipping a murderer. Why do you do that? Guilt? Summit to hide? Jealousy of him being able to get away with it? Looking for attention?. I massively get to you, & I love it. Oh & @Sombrero ..let's meet for a pint. You can explain your views mate. As I don't have a clue why anyone would defend a murdering basrard. Who knows...one of your family could be in his sights.

I assume the human rights activist fans of Amnesty AFC aren't watching the World Cup then?!

The catalyst for the revolution - absolutely unbelievable on and off the pitch! Imagine saying one year ago that we'd have six players going to the World Cup and one of them would be an England starter!? Mental! I love him and he's easily by far the best right back I've seen at NUFC!

Yep, and Bruno! Got to be bollocks!

Exile’s had an extremely bad few days

29 pages about their friendly - I wonder how many posts there is from Exile fewriously condemning it?

Trippier didn't be though - just told his pal to!

This lot man! I’m off to the shop to get some popcorn before reading the Mack-tracking! I assume they’re all demanding it to be called off as they’ve all been human rights activists since they were born?! We literally couldn’t have wished for a better set of neighbours!

I’m pals with a Stoke season ticket holder and apparently he’s been very unlucky - had several goals wrongly chalked off and has hit the woodwork numerous times as well!

I had forgot how amazing this chap was - sweet Lord! Best I’ve seen when one on one!

How good is the Town on match-days now?!

Win at all costs! We’ve been too nice for far too long!

Never heard it in the Gallowgate!

WTF is this?! They love telling utter shit about us, bless them! willo Striker Yesterday at 11:43 PM #463 Singing 1-0 to the Saudi boys, Never forget what these arseholes have become.

Virtually all of their first XI will be going to the World Cup and I certainly wouldn't fancy a 50/50 (well, even a 60/40) with Big Joe if I was one of them! Home win backed by a boisterous, boozed-up SJP!
