Walking across the pitch to your seat sets a really bad example unless you are the Manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me (again) of the Swindon game where Joe was mascot and my mate texted me to say “get that effing wheelchair off the pitch”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 5 hours ago, Davefevs said: Funny you mention the pitch. Pre-game, both me and the chap I sit next to thought the grass looked longer than normal. And I don’t think it played as slick as it usually does. Saints passing early doors was stodgy, and they misplaced quite a few passes trying to put pace on the ball. No idea whether a LM plan or not? Normally longer grass could be attributed to the Bears having an imminent game, but I don't see that they have any games coming up over the weekend. Be interesting to see if its the same on saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transfer reader Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Quite liked this. City worked out and exploited Southampton's weak spots (sounds quite brainsy to me) but in Brains Vs Brain it was Brawn who won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they really don't like their Manning. Lots waiting for them to have Bree back for the LB position and saying they missed Downes One was quite complimentary of our Manning.

glastored Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 6 hours ago, Nogbad the Bad said: Pretty sure the AG pitch has traditionally been one of the biggest in the league. LJ insisted it was narrowed during his time here - too much grass to measure? These days the width in particular seems to vary according to how the current manager thinks it best suits his style of play, so no idea of LM's preference or where AG stands in comparison with other pitches now. Am I right in saying that Port Vale have the biggest pitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't noticed this quite so much before in any weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly a bold prediction. I expect it was a pretty good night for the bookies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a really strong feeling that the game would be 2-2 and was considering placing a score on the draw - then I remembered that I stopped betting in City many years ago! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about all 92, but according to a quick search Forest, with 105m x 71m, a total area of 7,455m, is the biggest pitch in the PL, and bigger than both Port Vale & City. Port Vale 104m x 70m, a total area of 7,280m. Bristol City 105m x 69m, a total area of 7,245m, which are exactly the same dimensions given for Wembley. Not sure if the City measurements are pre, during, or post LJ. City's pitch is bigger than all PL clubs except Forest according to this recent article: https://www.footballfancast.com/premier-league-stadims-pitch-sizes-ranked-biggest-smallest/#goodison-park-ndash-area-7-210m Fulham, at 100m x 65m have the smallest pitch in the PL with a total area of 6,500m.
