Coman's hit was genuinely WWE like with the whiplash. I shouldn't have but I did chuckle at the slo mo
Our wingers are clearly scared of barrelling into the boards so refuse to get in behind and attack the byline, we've found the root of our problems!Lethal!
Unlike United's frontline
Are teams kicking up enough of a stink about it? Surely the FA could force us to make it saferIt's becoming ridiculous. Are we waiting for a career ending leg injury to change it?
Can someone put JR commentary to this?

Dunno. I think he’s masking his true intent.Posts that feel racist but aren't
This has always been a cost saving measure, rather than spend the money to dig down into the grounds to give us under pitch heating and drainage. They built it on top of it as it would be too expensive otherwise and now we have these super dangerous slopes at each side of the pitch Always thought it was ridiculous and very dangerous to players.
I was told, years ago now that the issue wasn't money as such, it was the changeover time for the pitch and associated work. Not just for the various layers of pitch/heating/sprinkler system/drainage but underground services that run across the stadium.This has always been a cost saving measure, rather than spend the money to dig down into the grounds to give us under pitch heating and drainage.

Problem is those advertising hoardings and the lower layers of seats. You'd have to remove several rows of seats to get the ground straight again. It might have to be done at some point anyway because the ground doesn't confirm to current recommendations for an international stadium - lacks the empty space around the pitch needed for cameramen etc (and for players to slow up before they hit the bumpers)You would think they would fill it with rubber chippings or the like. Would still help with drainage and stop players tumbling down the slope.
Which is baffling isn’t it , just get it done looks absolutely horrendous and probably the only ground in Europe built like it, players must hate playing with them there.I was told, years ago now that the issue wasn't money as such, it was the changeover time for the pitch and associated work.

They would need to do it in under three months, they didn't see it taking it less than six. Whether that's still true I don't know.
Yes I think the only way it could have been done on a three month timescale was by throwing a lot of extra money at it. I used a landscaper that had done one of the pitch re-lays at the ground in the late 90's and he said that the club was told they needed to dig it all up and re-do the undersoil heating (that had been a bit of a rush / botch job apparently) to get the soil to stabilise and have better drainage without the dangerous steep incline at the pitch edges.I was told, years ago now that the issue wasn't money as such, it was the changeover time for the pitch and associated work.

Going crashing into a 20 metres wide, flashing, day-glo sign that simply says KUMHO TYRES.they have long been prophetic of our fortunes. we’ve scaled the heights of the old trafford pitch and are currently on the cruel descent to the advertising hoardings. alas, we do not know how far we will continue to fall before crashing into them.

They felt Lays was more appropriate considering how often we've been getting fecked at home. That and Walkers was hurting Marcus and Anthonys feelings.Speaking of advertising hoardings, I noticed last night we advertise Lays and not Walkers. What’s that all about? International audience?

Or balls like a ball pit. Make it extra deep to see how quickly they can fight their way back out of it.Why don't they just put some padding down there?

Casemiro supermanning his ass head first behind the goal was mildly amusing though.Almost killed Bruno.
