Yes I know it is hence the smiley.....hope your ankle is ok ....who were you playing for ?

Just an inter squad friendly for a Vets team to blow the cobwebs away! Not sure it worked!

I would suggest that’s an overreaction considering our home record in all competitions this season is P23 W19 D3 L1 and we’ve won 12 of the last 13, scoring 31 and conceding 7. Seems like we’re on a fortunate run considering it’s “Russian roulette”.

Only lately the pitch was this bad.

We are the better team, if we had a better pitch the game would have been more fluid and we would have probably scored more goals.

Of course it's not just the pitch, refereeing, player mistakes, etc,.. the more you control these variables the more chance you have to win. It might be an overreaction but in tight games small details can be the difference between a win or a loss and in knock out stages there are no second chances.

Agree.

Madrid are playing matches on their training ground, we should play ours at the minihad so that pitch can get ripped up and relaid.

they are doing it as grounds being done up. not the pitch lol

i think the mini etihad could be a good option to use if we get into the semi final of the champions league. but i think uefa would not lets us unless it gets really bad at the etihad

the summer and plans for a new pitch and safe standing being put in and hope for fans coming back next season
means we will have a fresh start and no gigs this summer and i am so looking forward to next season

This is a disaster now. The turf that came up from when Jesus fell into the Leeds defender was shocking.

Have we changed the groundsman recently? The pitch had been horrible for months now.

Obviously watered like fuck pre-game, first 15 mins a player per minute was slipping until it dried out a bit.

Don't see why we don't move to the mini ground,if we're not allowed for league games as Madrid play at the training ground for CL games I can't see why we can't.

Lots of players slipping today - including their keeper for our goal
