I can confirm that the pitch is the same size  as last year and it is your  eyes that have grown a year older and bigger. This makes things look smaller than they are, even when they are exactly the same size as they've always been.

 

Its known as the "cream egg effect"

I want a creme egg now!

Wider the pitch the better as it creates more space and a better aspect for our creative players.

 

No doubt it is an edict from upon high at EPL. They seem to be getting more and more like Formula One, always tinkering without applying any commonsense. If it 'ain't broken why fix it?

I'd love to see Lloyd Dyer with DRS - think he could overtake Alonso this year

I heard they moved the Kop and replaced Hey Jude with WYS as well

Half the back of the next isn't covered in grass and is instead the blue carpet at the Family Stand end of the ground so I'm assuming the pitch has got bigger (or at least longer)

They need to be making it bigger so the stands are closer to the pitch, not the other way around.

I only noticed after the first goal went in. Maybe the pitch got the horn

Players? Player, surely...???

I thought it myself during the game.

If we've made it narrower, then it hinders our tactics of playing with wingers rather than through the middle

I am confused about the size of the goals.... are they imperial or metric.

 

The students pouring the singha seem to be giving me smaller pints this season  . Is it an epl edict?
