We’re coming into this now

If Burn ran than ball out instead of Trippier there would have been hell on …

Haha fucking get in Bruno, you mad bastard

7 mins until inevitable subs

Personally, I reckon Dan Burn is the best player who can play LB & CB to grace this ground since Maldini. And old Paolo would be honoured to hear himself mentioned in the same sentence, I reckon.

I was born in ‘82 - to my adolescent mind, Milan are still Europe’s greatest club. This is Roy of the Rovers stuff to me.

Not even a second of injury time this referee has been class

I’m watching Dan Burn, Jacob Murphy, Sean Longstaff playing a CL game in the San Siro man. People’s expectations are out of wack.

Maybe it’s because it’s 3am here, but I’m just watching this with a fuck-off grin on my face. Don’t understand why so many seem stressed. It’s AC Milan away lads and lasses - dream stuff

Other than the odd blip, we’re coping with this well here. The switch of pace is suiting us.

I forgot how bad European football is for shirt-pulling

Dying industry which pays peanuts these days. Younger hacks seem more like bloggers than journalists.

What were they expecting Sandro from Milano to say about playing football in Newcastle exactly? ‘In England always long ball, running, running, running …’

We’ve let them off lightly in the past by doing this. This time I want it to haunt their dreams - I want them thinking about it all the time.

Yep - the 4K one. Took all the other streaming services out though. Only have it for CL

I reckon he would, you know. But I also don’t think the club would even hold a conversation for less than £120m

Yep, that’s their lot now. My heart bleeds

I can’t bring myself to listen to it anymore, but AC Jimbo will always get the love from me. Anyone who is travelling to Milan and doesn’t sit outside a cafe having coffee and sweet for breakfast with a copy of Gazzetta has to be far younger than me, otherwise they have no excuse. The ability to actually read it makes zero difference …

I’m going for 2-1 NUFC. I’m feeling weirdly confident about this

I’ve just realised I haven’t looked at the table yet this season. This feels like being good again - I never really used to bother looking pre-Ashley until October. Under Ashley, I would look at it pretty much from day one of the season - due to relegation fears.

Enjoy yersels everyone lucky enough to be going there. Nothing makes me want to head back from Australia more than missing out on European adventures. They are still the ultimate away games - regardless of venue or competition (and they don’t come much bigger than European Cup vs Milan in the San Siro)

Bruno and Tonali are good footballers, so hopefully they will. They definitely need time to develop an understanding - I’ve got a feeling they’ll find European football the ideal place to develop it. Sometimes the pace of the game in England slows the development of those sort of partnerships.

Yep, and it paints clear the lie that competition reduces costs to the consumer. Paramount plus has the FA Cup too!

I'm not against selling any of our players - but 80-100m for Isak would not represent good business

Pub league defending - as impressive as Brian Glover in Kes thinking he's Bobby Charlton
