Alexander Isak ruffled some Geordie feathers by forcing through his move to Liverpool from Newcastle.

But by and large, the players do not appear to share in the fans' rage — after Anthony Elanga broke his silence while on international duty with his compatriot, a senior player at St James' Park has become the latest to speak out.

In the latest blow to supporters, lifelong Newcastle fan Dan Burn has become the latest to play down the tensions.

Burn himself went on to acknowledge as much:

"As a Newcastle fan, we are very protective of our club and city and we want players to be there who want to play for Newcastle and you don't want them to naively think that there is anyone else to go apart from Newcastle," he explained

"So I understand why our fans are frustrated."

But even boyhood fans like Burn are ultimately still only doing their jobs

Once in a blue moon, you might get someone like Daniel Agger — complete with his YNWA knuckle tattoo — throwing elbows at Fernando Torres, but that's certainly the exception rather than the rule.

Yet even with the reconciliatory remarks from Burn and others, it's still bound to be another tasty encounter when Liverpool and Newcastle next meet in January
