Now that's home advantage. More teams should do this sort of thing. Pretty sure last season some team intentionally let their pitch turn to poo poo so Arsenal can't pass as smoothly.

It was Milan, though the pitch is normally pretty bad anyway.

I remember Sunderland last season let the grass grow out so the ball wouldn't move as quickly along the ground and Wenger was not very happy.

Bender: "I was God once." God: "Yes, I saw. You were doing well until everyone died."

When Sigi Schmid was coach of the Galaxy, he would routinely change the size of the pitch to suit the opponent. If a wide playing team came to town, he made it narrow. If a team with a slow back line came, he would make it longer to play more balls over the top. If they were a possession team, he would tell the groundskeepers to let the grass grow. He was and is a wonderful troll.

All of this is why teams play home and away games and you should get as much advantage from being at home as you can imo.

This is why every throw in at Stoke should involve the throw in taker using their towel as slow as possible

While its cool to see teams changing their pitch specifically for us its kinda funny to notice that they clearly haven't scouted us recently since we are very rarely using long throws anymore.

I am pretty sure its because Geoff Cameron is a much better RB than Shotton and Delap is permacrocked now.

Yeah, you can see that here but apparently that throw isn't long enough to be considered a part of the Byolante criteria for a Stoke long ball. That would have to be the traditional 60 yard blast to that tall British lad.

On another note, Spurs are in third place.
