00:00Well, making my way out of a loud and noisy turf war, where Burnley have just put Cardiff City to the sword for the 5-0 win in their first home game of the season.
00:12Yeah, it's crazy what a few months difference can make. Think about the gloom of last season, we're in the place of six days, Burnley have scored nine goals, top of the league with two wins out of two.
00:26It's two different games against Cardiff, against Luton, but Burnley are just utterly critical. The scary thing is they can be better than this, they can play better.
00:36Especially in the first half, Cardiff arguably the better side. Burnley got their two goals, the first one a little fortunate, similar to the Mewitch one last season.
00:48But from that point onwards, the second goal was up with no real doubt. Second half though, Scott Parker's men were excellent. They didn't stop Cardiff from creating anything.
00:58And as I said, just ruthless in front of goal, anything that came their way, they stuck it away. So yeah, just a perfect start to the campaign and as I said at the start of this video,
01:09just amazing how different things can be and how quickly they can change. But yeah, Scott Parker, I'm going to be absolutely delighted. Perfect way to start his reign here at Turf Mar.
