An excellent count what_no_pies and congratulations to StayingDown4Ever and Eloise Laws. I will update the leader board at some point over the weekend. But for now let’s get behind the Mighty Clarets in the football game. Come On Burnley.

Great count w_n_p

I thought "Oriental" had been banished by the PC police.

Excellent! Great to hear my liquid guess has got me some more points today!! Even more delighted about the result on the pitch, the 5 goals and the performance.
Hope today spurs the team on for better times ahead!
We don’t need a drum…..goals will do it!

Thanks for the count What_no_pies.
Onwards…….UTC

Not much time until the next game. I'll start the thread for the next count tomorrow

An excellent count what_no_pies which led to a peerless performance on the field of play. The counting gods were clearly impressed by the glorious and selfless sacrifice of your counting points bonus. I doff my hat to you Sir.

An excellent day for all, I think. Here’s hoping for a similar performance against the mangy Wolves.

Up the Mighty Clarets.

What a guy I am! The day I put a good performance in for a change is also the day the team decide to make an effort.
