Has last seasons December to February, which was absolutely critical to us getting the CL and cup final been erased from people’s minds? That was one of best periods I’ve experienced as a fan, and Gordon was central to it. That was within last 2 years.

Thank fuck for that

Probably because Howe wanted to plan for the future and not play a player he’d agreed to sell, and not scupper a move by injuring him. The fact Howe had him the squad does not suggest he was on strike. Nor him smiling with coaching staff. And that Athletic article says it was Howe’s choice and Gordon was happy to play. You can criticise his performances and say he’s not been on it as much the last 2 years or whatever. But unless you’re very ITK you maintaining he downed tools and behaved like Isak is just making stuff up.

I think that and also having the fans see sales like this is as a positive, strategic thing for the clubs growth that doesn’t have to be bitter.

Howay, Gordon did not sack the last month off. How’s this still being said? It’s been obvious that was Howe’s decision for weeks, and that’s also exactly what that Athletic article says.

Football career's are short. Whatever Isak and Gordon go onto, being a Newcastle player has been a key part of their story. When they're retired - most of their life - all their clubs will be ex-clubs. You'd think you'd want to be remembered fondly.

Aye, when he dropped 'han llevado' in a spontaneous answer. Found it dead endearing - players often seem so boring off the pitch.

Wow he spoke spanish, and not just a couple of token words. Good on him man.

Feels like the old days having airport footage then an announcement as it happens, instead of edited interviews days later

I had this on, went for a run, and it’s still not happened

He just won the Coupe de France last week - played in the final (alongside Thauvin).

I suppose he’ll still technically be our player til then but everything can be signed now

Get him in the toon to Barcelona pipeline.

The Pardew effect had worn off by this season too, it was still there last year when we won the cup. Obviously still strong at Palace.

Read somewhere his name was song by away end at the end at Fulham? Was there a bit of a goodbye? (Think you were there @LFEE?)

Liverpool pioneered the double manager with Houlier and Evans, would be interesting to see them now share their manager with Leverkusen.

Here dickhead @Froggy. Hope one of the foundation's disadvantaged youth smash one in against yous in 15 years.

Don’t know the science of it but helps you feel more of a supporter and less of a spectator

Why does mean we'll be on Monday night more?

Well Palace look more likely than Vallecano to knock the mackems out next year.

I'd say we're highly likely to win the Europa or Conf within a decade.

Crying with ten mins left, 1-0 down. Don't really remember seeing fans so gutted at a cup final.

Vallecano fans proper gutted Palace winning it makes it spiritually the cup winners cup

Lejuene counter attack brought back cos he fouled the ref
