I’m torn on the Dan Burn situation. He always seemed a thoroughly decent bloke, and got the chance to play for the boyhood club that he probably thought had gone for good.
And, having made the move in January, everyone thought he’d be a benchwarmer at best by now, as Newcastle spent like loons in the summer to bring in Galacticos aplenty.
But he’s still there, playing every week, part of the best defence in the league and sitting in fourth.
People are even calling for him to be in England's World Cup squad.
But it’s f***ing Newcastle, all they now represent, and our friend Smug Eddie.
