Burnley manager Sean Dyche’s press conference was comedy gold

Apart from some notable exceptions – we’re looking at you, José – football managers’ press conferences are usually a pretty dull affair, unless you’re a die-hard fan.

Ahead of his team’s clash with top-of-the-table Manchester City, Burnley manager Sean Dyche presided over a press conference with a difference, and it was anything but boring.

“Lockdown’s really hard for everyone and it’s really boring for everyone, so we’re just having a natter and trying to show a bit of humanity in the world, you know what I mean?”

We do, Sean. We do.

Never mind who he looks like, though – raise your hand if you think he sounds like Phyllis from Coronation Street.

Moving on …here are a few favourite reactions.

Sean Dyche has set the new standard that every other manager needs to follow. Now we've seen this, we will NEVER accept boring sensible platitudes again. https://t.co/NvvGcoe56f

If he doesn’t slap Pep Guardiola with a wet fish, we’ll be very disappointed.
