Former Newcastle United man Andros Townsend jokes with Dan Burn when the defender shares his thoughts on training.
Newcastle full-back Dan Burn was a guest on the Monday Night Club on BBC 5 Live last night speaking about the challenges Newcastle are facing this season and of course the amazing 8-0 win at the weekend.
Burn was asked how he feels about the extra games brought on by Champions League qualification and whether he’ll miss the mid-week training sessions that are now replaced by European games.
Andros Townsend went in search of the truth from Dan Burn
While giving his answer, Andros Townsend chirped in with a jokey comment.
Burn said: “I love training so I like to be out on the pitch every single day!”
When Townsend interrupted: “Lies!”
Burn chuckled and continued: “So when you go Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, Wednesday – it tends to be more recovery days building into the games but it’s special for us to have European football, we are just taking everything as it comes.”
Anthony Gordon got a shock when he turned up for Newcastle training
Eddie Howe‘s training sessions are very intense so I can definitely see where Townsend was coming from. I’m sure they aren’t all enjoyable.
As Dan Burn alluded to in the interview, Anthony Gordon got the shock of his life when he came to Newcastle. It was when he realised there’s fit and there’s Newcastle United fit.
It was a very diplomatic answer by Burn but I suspect there’s a part of him that loves those recovery days.
