After all the nonsense talked about Gareth over the last few months I hope he gets his hat trick today.

Form is temporary, class is permanent.

He's nothing if not predictable



Cheers Gareth

Just need Dele to play his way back in to the starting line up as well now.

What's funny is that those campaigning for him to start have no clue of his form and fitness. The nonsense were those saying he was being picked on, which is......nonsense.

Off topic, why do grounds slope away around the edge. Tia

It's a way the architects can honour the required sight-lines for the lower rows whilst also meeting the requirements for advertising board height.

This.

"Form is temporary" indeed. Pick the players in form.

And so the water drains.

The pitch is permeable funnily enough, water drains through the pitch itself.

I think it's something to do with the retractable pitch.

It's not. Eg: Old Trafford does not have a retractable pitch.

I'd assume at some points you could get more water that normal and you'd not have enough permeability to drain the pitch properly. So probably it's good to have the sides of the pitch as a backup.

FFS every professional club in the country (where funds allow) will have a camber on the pitch to allow run off. It's the same reason roads have camber on them. This is not a recent innovation or phenomenon....

What a beauty of a cross from Bale for Kane's goal. The stuff we've been dreaming of.

The OP's question was asking about the sloping sides to the pitch, not the camber across the pitch itself.

Anyway if we've finished talking about our wonderful wonky pitch, I thought it was a very enjoyable game. OK Burnley made it very easy for us so I'm not going to read a massive amount into it but this is the kind of football I want to watch and this is the Bale we were all hoping to see.

Unfortunately it's probably too little too late and top 4 is looking out of reach but I hope we use this as our plan going forward. Our strength is in attacking not defending where we are still very weak so it's madness that we've spent most of the season trying to play to our weaknesses, not our strengths.
