I noticed it from the very first match, going from a tight little ground like uppers to playing on a prairie 5 -10 ft passes ok but try spreading it with 20 -30 ft passes like they did for the majority of the match takes skill ,the BT commentator summed it up nicely "its like they've got 15 players on the field ,chasing shadows all night ,someone said earlier its the worst they've seen all season ,i think its the worst ive seen in 20 years

The size of a regulation pitch can vary. I always thought the Boleyn was a narrow little pitch -- be nice if someone could confirm that the dimensions have changed. Assuming that's correct, there's also Fred's point, brought up several times this season, about how slow the pitch is. Bottom line: it brings out our bad qualities really well!!!

Boleyn Ground pitch size 100.5 x 68m
The Mothership ;) pitch size 105 x 68m which is the same size pitch as arse and shitty grounds. that's the standard size required by Premier League and UEFA Rules.
So 4.5 metres longer ashes,but the same width as uppers would you believe,just that there's about 50meters of fuzzy felt between sideline and fans lol,no wonder they are considering to have cricket there in 2019,but the bottom line for me is, they better hurry up and get used to this pitch..

Thought they was crap in the Fa cup, had it confirmed tonight glad I did'nt buy a ticket for tonights game it aint how u win its how u loose and tonight we lost like a bunch of mugs God bless Antonio the rest of them had there heads down after the first goal and 2 really soft goals come straight after. If this our new hope after the transfer window hope we manage 15th, really dissapointed

Saw some of the first half - terrible... Was at the dreadful FA cup game last month and thought we might get revenge today but we got absolutely torn apart. People saying Snodgrass looked good, thats one good thing I spose. Was Byram really that bad?

Byram werent to bad imo. It was cresswell that had the shocker. Byram did his best and didnt shy away but the issue was he had to tuck inside because cress kept going missing and feghouli didnt once get back and help out.

Sane ripped him to shreds mate, nutmegging him taking the Mickey. Inhale did it too. He's just not a Prem player mate, again as much as I like him or what him to be
