Is there something wrong with our grass?

[WashingtonDCSPUR]

I noticed throuhout the game that many of our players were slipping over and literally losing grip yesterday.

IS this something that has been happening recently?

could it be down to the way the stadium constructed?

Or just a maybe a change in the way studs are designed?

Was really strange to watch it happen so often.

I thought the Goodison Park pitch today looked torn up, shame if did not effect the gooners.

I thought maybe it was a problem with their boots. They did seem to fall over a lot.

Grass is fine. We water it a lot so the ball zips around quickly. Players are going to slip over occasionally, it's a balancing act.

Cheers, I wondered why it was happening.

I might have mentioned on here that I met Don Estelle and showed him where Woolworths in Bedford was as he was opening a new cafe there in the 80s and had got lost
I had recognised him standing in the street trying to read a map

Lovely guy and appreciated me doing a fair impression of Windsor Davis calling him ‘Lofty’

Apologies if I’m repeating myself!


I reckon that he was a ‘Chesty’ fan!

Mate, small world.

As I read that, thought “My mum met him”.

She was the Manager of the Woolworths Coffee shop!

It's just players taking phat wads of cash for boot deals that aren't fit for purpose IMO.
You never see players in black plain boots slipping arse over tit. It's always the silly sock boots with short blades instead of studs

Millican and Nesbitt stopped their car in Blackfriars and asked me how to get to Watford.
Don Estelle..pfffft..

A bonus in the way that our pitch is set up is that it is also easily replaced if there are issues with it. The club grows a spare pitch apparently.

A year or so ago we sold our reserve pitch to Leeds because the Elland Road one took a beating during the winter months.

I can’t compete with Millican and Nesbitt

I had to meet the Bachelors off a train once in the early 90s to get them to a performance
Both pissed but still carrying the Cello!!

Great fun!

Mission accomplished!

Definitely.

Let's knock it down and start again.
