Transcript

00:00Just making my way out of Loftus Road where Burnham just played their final away game of the season.

00:06It's been quite a memorable season and it's quite a memorable game today.

00:11Could have easily come into the game emotionally, physically drained from Monday to promotion,

00:17partying at Sheffield United, but was never the case.

00:21Put a QPR to the sword with a 5-0 victory.

00:25It could have been 5 at half-time, it was that dominant, that one-sided.

00:29Real classy stuff.

00:31But also, not only to play some superb football, it was the desire, that hunger that we saw from start to finish really.

00:40One moment in particular where the Burnham players sprint back in numbers after getting the ball away from a corner

00:47and there's 8 or 9 players behind the ball within 3-4 seconds.

00:51Really amazing stuff.

00:52It sums up this Burnham side, like I said, for the good football, superb football we played today.

00:58That was the moment that summed it up for me.

01:03But yeah, there's Ian Fleming with 2.

01:06Samienta off the bench with 2.

01:08Josh Cullen, he would open the scoring as well early on.

01:11All around superb display.

01:13So many positives.

01:15Aaron Ramsey back, first appearance in 14 months.

01:18Redmond on Colosho starting was really good on his first start.

01:23It's in the league anyway, so it's New Year's Day.

01:26So yeah, Burnham go back top for now.

01:29Leeds are super Monday.

01:30They can finish on 100 points next week with a win against Millwall.

01:33They can still win the league title.

01:35And they match that another record.

01:38The all-time record for clean sheets with 30 now.

01:41So yeah, perfect day after a perfect week, really.

01:44And hopefully they can finish it off with a positive.

01:48There's another victory against Millwall next week.

01:50talking with Millwall next week.
