He's still a liability, like. That tackle was followed by a couple of hospital balls in the second half. One day soon he won't be here and we won't have to worry about him anymore.

Looked bloody brilliant, this.

He looked stronger than I can remember ever seeing him in that second half today. Several lung-busting runs and he was knocking people out of the way at times. He did very well for Fraser's goal and was unlucky not to score himself. Hopefully this is him back on track.

Thought he was frustrating as owt in the first half. That said, he still almost created a goal out of nothing. Second half though, good lord. He must be an absolute nightmare to play against when he's on it. How would you even begin to try stopping him?

I've forgotten the Pickford chant already. Someone remind me please.

Well that was unreal. I managed to get one of the siblings' tickets at the last minute. Trippier was different class, Targett was solid as a rock, and Willock stepped it up tonight. Such a good second half all round really. If ASM had passed it back to Bruno for the tap-in, man.

Him taking the freekick took me by surprise for some reason. What a moment.

Absolutely gutted I won't be there tonight, like. I hope it's an atmosphere to remember. I think I'll have to go to the pub because the tension will be too much without a beer in hand.

He's class, like.

I've gone for 3 to 4. If they're all winners he was worth the punt.

The balls on this kid (Bruno, not Haydn; N-O still won't let me remove quotes on my phone). His belief in himself is seriously impressive. He's got this.

This no food due to a technical error crack over the tannoy, man.

It's absolutely fucking mental that he keeps getting jobs. Does he have the best agent in the business or something? He's a terrible advert for whichever club he represents.

It is almost as if they're doing it on purpose at this point.

Almost bumped into him earlier as he was off to catch his train out of town. This was the first thing that came to mind. Almost said it to him involuntarily.

I tell you who won't be settling for a draw. Bruno. We'll beat this lot.

Tremendous this, like. Would probably work better with him as a cartoon for a flag though.

I'd never heard him talk before. Absolutely does not sound like a footballer, but seems like a really nice lad. He reminds me so much of one of my mates who's actually the most competitive bloke I've ever known.

He has been of late but remember Sky had him reporting on/from the remains of his freshly destroyed car at the weekend. It's not that much of a stretch to imagine them telling him he has to spin some nonsense to entice a few extra viewers tonight.

It's got to be clickbait bollocks though, Shirley?

He's from Blyth, he'll be areet.

Seems like a bit of a too good to be true situation.
