He wasn't great yesterday, not even close, but he looked like Pirlo in comparison to Kouyate the centre back.

Cheers Vexed, it just amazes me that often people can't answer a simple question and get all weirdly defensive.

Now now Trev, no need to get all queer over it.
Give me a shout next time you want to know something off the Internet, I don't mind helping you out.

where did you get those dimensions from?

Upton Park: 110 x 70 yards (100.5 m x 64m)
Shitcunt Stadium: 115 by 74 yards (105.1m x 67.5m)
Actually slightly more than a couple of metres of width. A reasonable size difference but enough to justify losing 3-0 at home to Southampton? Nah.

I think I read somewhere that UEFA are trying to standardise pitch sizes??

Re: Is Mark Noble justifying his place in the team?

It's in a variety of places Trevor, google is your friend.
I'd suggest that they made the pitch as big as they could to attempt to offset the ridiculous distance the stands are from the pitch.
This pitch size thing is idiot talk though, we won on pitches as big as this last season against better opposition than the shower of shit we played yesterday and the three weeks previous. We're really clutching at straws if we're blaming the couple of metres difference in width, if anything this should help players like Payet and Lanzini but we've been just as shit going forward as we are defensively.

Is this pitch like twice the size of Upton Park or something?

Re: Is Mark Noble justifying his place in the team?

why on earth would the manager change the dimensions of the pitch from last season? the only place i can see on-line that says our pitch dimensions is a daily mail article, and personally i wouldn't trust that rag at all.

He was just so negative. Took the safe option every time and we still managed to lose 3-0. As poor as anyone on the pitch. Rightly subbed.

Anyone else think that noble (more than most) is being found out by the size of the pitch.
Alot of his game was based on hurrying players, nipping in where the game was tight and breaking up play....
Now teams have more space to play around as we cannot close them down so effectively.

We can't afford for our captain to be 'ordinary', especially in our current situation.

I know someone who was a season ticket at Main Road for years, I went to a game in the early 90's and he pointed it out to me, you could actually see the faint lines of the touchline from the previous game.
