It is not a surprise, but after being signed less than 18 months ago by Newcastle, Anthony Gordon is our blog’s Player of the Season for 2023/24.
Under Eddie Howe’s guidance, Gordon has improved in leaps and bounds and it says something for Howe’s coaching ability that the (Liverpool lad born) 23 year-old – has made so much raid progress in such a short time.
So there you have it, Gordon looks to be a regular for England (and Newcastle) in the years ahead given his excellent form for England since his debut.
Gordon is our 17th player of the season with 49% of the vote.

Comment #2Notice that Ritchie won when we were in the championship. Thanks to Matt for his service and the corner flags will be breathing a sigh of relief following his departure.
See that Trippier’s son will be an England mascot tonight! Let’s hope Trips gets in some good match practice tonight.

I think I’ve told you before that I was probably attending matches at SJP before you were pupped. Grow up.

Re. Maderia thanks for that.
Did you go to the valley of the nuns? It’s supposed to be a good tour? Short, but very good..

Comment #6Well done Gordon with a whopping 49% of the vote. With so many players who did so well like Bruno and Schar for example that score was huge and well deserved. The kid is gonna be a world beater and very soon. Didn’t we strike gold signing him, along with Bruno, Isak, Botman with more of the same in this transfer window coming.

Very close between 7-10-2021 D1 and magicmac54 but I think I have to give it to 7-10-2021 D1 (whoever you are?) as you have league position, points and cup rounds spot on and also correct on top goal scorer.
Honourable mentions for magicmac54 who was a very close second and Essex Geordie Bill who was the only blogger to predict Gordon as player of the season!!
Congratulations 7-10-2021 D1 you are officially the Blog Prediction King (or Queen) for this season 😀

Comment #9It’s a pity Gordon misses out on playing tonight at his hone ground. Would have made the game more interesting too.

Good work all in your own time. Fair play to you Sir 🙂
Will the blog still be here to show the predictions for this coming season this time next year? I predict a no which is a sickener.

Comment #12Fenham – Cheers us pensioners have the time 🙂 I’ve posted the results on Discord as well and I’ll probably run next season’s competition on both platforms if hopefully the blog is still here!
Raj – I wouldn’t say last – I’ve posted in points order and you were the most, let’s say, optimistic 😉

Well done to Day1, are you Mandy?
FtC, you raise a good.point on the future of this and other blog activities.
I’ll set out a framework for Ed’s FPL H2H leagues in the coming weeks.

I’m no puppet pal the reason I like Fenham is he takes no shit from the muppets,the shit he gets on here is unprecedented and he still retains his dignity and humour
Where as the muppets just give him abuse behind faceless avatars and we all accept it to keep blog harmony
It’s not right in any shape or form

Comment #16Very pleased that Gordon got player of the season. Especially considering he was supposedly never going to sign for us! 😀
Hope he gets plenty of minutes under his belt playing for England over the summer. He’ll come back to us with a bit more experience.

Nice to be vindicated on AG, I could see last season that he was going to be a good-un.
The club had better make sure we keep him!

What a disaster for him if so. Been an ever present all season and gets injured just as the internationals start.
