Bournemouth to probe PA announcer

Bournemouth are looking into how a foul-mouthed message was accidentally played over their public address system during their 5-1 defeat against Tottenham on Sunday.

Eddie Howe's side had taken the lead through Matt Ritchie's first-minute goal but were eventually thrashed as Harry Kane scored a hat-trick for Tottenham.

Towards the end of the Premier League fixture, the PA microphone appeared to be accidentally switched on and the whole ground heard a conversation between two men.

In summing up their views on the game, one claimed "it's f****** unbelievable, men against boys" -- to the amusement of most of the crowd.

Both sets of supporters sang "You're getting sacked in the morning" and, after the match, a Bournemouth spokesman confirmed the incident will be investigated.

Howe was asked about the situation in his post-match media duties, but claimed he could not discern what was being discussed.

"I just heard noise, I didn't really hear any words said," he said.
