MOTD say 54 yards, who to believe..

MOTD definitely. Famously, the pitch at Upton Pk is actually 124 yds long and their statistic would agree with that.

I thought all PL pitches had to be a standard size now, 105m long = 114 yds. So the far edge of the centre circle would be around 47 yards out from goal.

No, that's the old rule. It's been changed very, very recently. I think it's something to do with widescreen tellies... For example, if a game is on Sky HD, the pitch is actually 140 yards long... apparently.

We still own the player with the best goal of the week.
 
The rags now have the most points away from home in the prem.
