That's not strictly true. City have the largest pitch in the League. West Ham have the smallest. I am not sure about the Wembley dimensions but it sure looks big.

It sort of is correct.

Wembley is the same size pitch as the Etihad. Only those grounds restricted by size have smaller pitches.

For example, Anfield has a restricted length but is maximum width.

..so it's incorrect then.

How can it be sort of correct if its totally incorrect.

I don't think one pitch in the league is the same size as another. They all have to be within a certain criteria but some are 4 or 5 yards narrower than others. Ours is the biggest and is similar to Wembley.

 

[Blue Til Death]

City - 116 x 78 yards
Rags - 116 x 76
Stoke - 115 x 75
Newcastle - 115 x 74.4
Swansea - 115 x 74.4
West Brom - 115 x 74
Arsenal 114 x 74
Sunderland 114 x 74
Wigan 114 x 74

Wembley - 115 x 75

Didn't Pulis narrow the size of Stoke's pitch for Rory's throw-ins?

Hand on heart, who went into the FA Cup final last season expecting to win? Not a show of arrogance to admit it, more an acknowledgment that we had the superior side and beating Wigan was a forgone conclusion. I admit I was expecting a win, and for some reason i've not learned my lesson this time either :-)

With you there, Pige. Although I'm sure the players won't want that feeling again and have something to prove following the Wigan fiasco.
