I know its one of the oldest excuses in the book to blame the pitch, but for f***s sake... they spend 350 mill on players in the last few years and have had it relayed once and that was when it resembled brighton beach.... Why aren't they made to relay it.... every club pays massive amounts to maintain the quality of there pitch so it is in a good enough condition..

Chelsea would have beaten us a lot more on a decent pitch. Be thankful for small mercies.

both teams have to play on it.

Neither are true. They've been playing on it all season, got a bit used to it. Away teams play on it for 90mins a season, we've played on it 180 through the CL as well, still doesn't mean we're used to it.

You would think that a team willing to spend 21 million on a player just to keep him in the reserves could afford to spend a few bob putting a decent pitch in. It's a shocking pitch for a so called 'big team' but it probably suits their long ball/defensive style tactics.

as pointed out by several people yesterday, they're getting it ready for barca's visit.

 

their football was f***ing horrible to watch yesterday, lumping it forward on that sunday league s***house of a pitch. no wonder sissoko and alonso looked out of sorts, both of them thrive by being able to play quick passes to feet, which was impossible on that surface.

don't agree with that at all.

 

thats b******s

 

And our record over the last the last nine games vindicates both your points accurately.

Not a very enlightened comment. It should be more than obvious a bad pitch favours the team who plays on it more often, whereas a good pitch levels the playing field, so to speak.

They've done it to stop Barca playing football while they just hoof it to Drogba its f***ing obvious.

I'd love -- really love -- for Drogba to do a Phil Babb in his last game at the African Cup, if it rains enough. Splat!
