Telegraph match report ...

Post by Clarets4me » Sun Feb 14, 2021 10:10 am

" Burnley, it was evident from the kick-off meant business. On an afternoon where the temperatures were more Siberia than South London, they were all short sleeves and no gloves, hard men scoffing at the elements, preferring to keep warm by attacking " ...

A swell of pride when I read that ... :D

The mrs actually commented on it "Why are Burnley in short sleeves and t'other team all in long sleeved shirts and gloves"
I just stared and kept my answer to myself.

Just to undermine the consensus:-
Sad to say a some of our players were cheating with the short sleeved shirt routine: there were quite a few wearing cosy long sleeved thermal vests. Maybe not quite as hard as we’d like to think?

They were hair shirts. Thermal vests...luxury.

Anyone notice how Sean Dyche responded in pre-match interview when he was asked how Burnley would cope with the "cold weather" that was forecast for Selhurst Park at the weekend? I thought he firstly looked a little puzzled by the question. Then he politely answered that cold weather is experienced in other parts of the country, including Burnley sometimes.

Hi SouthLondon, welcome to the board. Whereabouts in South London are you? I live near where the Thames was frozen over a couple of days back!

I tuned into radio 5 for the commentary. They started off by saying what the XG was. I thought they were obviously talking expected goals and couldn't understand how the hell they got 8 for Palarse and 0 for Burnley. They then waxed lyrical about how XG was expected gloves and Burnley were obviously made of sterner stuff

Short sleeves versus gloves and long sleeves was the first thing my partner said!
