Who is Leonard P?

Vinny’s Burnley just scored and the striker pulled up his shirt in the celebration to reveal “Leonard P” and a heart on his thermal.

Had a look on the Burnley forum, no mention

Oof. Burnley gifting Bournemouth a goal from sloppiness at the back.

 

[bluwes]

Wow that’s a suicide ball For the Bournemouth equal

Must be a personal thing, then.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Harwood-Bellis injured. :-(

Southampton WON a GAME?!

That's us buggered then.

Great team goal to put Burnley ahead just before halftime.

See, the thing is, this playing the ball out from the back thing is just ridiculous, if it's applied rigidly like a dogma. Firstly, you've got to have the players who are able to do it. Not easy. We've got them. Not every defence is as comfortable on the ball as ours is (virtually none are, in point of fact). Secondly, there are times to do it, and times most definitely not to do it. The guy with the ball has to size up the configuration of his own players and the configuration of the opposition players in a flash to determine whether it's on or not. If it's not, he's going to look like a clown.

And they have got VAR for this game.

Our lads at the Blades playing today, I see. Assist from young Doyle, too. Nice.

Incidentally, nice to see the respect for the old guard from Tommy in his contribution to the Ballet on Ice piece on City +.

And they have got VAR for this game.

It’s a travesty it’s not used for all games or no games.

 

[Gray]

Great 3rd goal for Burnley.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Burnley now up 3-1 against Bournemouth.

Vinny has them playing with supreme confidence.

To be fair, for that gifted goal, the pass he was trying was in fact on, he just didn’t execute, and was punished for it.

Burnley well deserve to be 3-1up.
I hope THB hasn't picked up a bad injury as he's been a rock at the back. He has a playing style similar to Steve Redmond.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Not sure what foul the ref saw there on Solanke.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Bournemouth half the deficit shortly after the second half kicks off.

 

[SebastianBlue]

I MUST KNOW WHO “LEONARD P” IS!?

 

[jimharri]

4-2 now for Burnley.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Burnley 4-2 up now, great game.
