There's absolutely no difference between our pitch and a normal one. Testing has shown that the compressibility of the pitch is no different to a normal one.
they only big difference , i kinda believed was not a good idea was changing the size compered to the white hart lanes pitch size
still believe it kinda was a small factor why they played so shit before poch got sacked
 
They are not playing on the pitch at the stadium during training or in away matches. Few minutes of a player's entire year occur there.

The injuries probably have more to do with the quality of players we buy, the lack of depth in the squad requiring everyone to play too many minutes, and that the medical team is incompetent. (if they have had multiple players try to run off ACL injuries, what are they doing day to day when there isn't a game?)

This organisation needs to be demolished top to bottom, hollowed out in full, and everyone replaced with the makings of a serious football club. The medical staff are no more serious than the rest.

What do you expect for this club? The culture is that football is secondary, results are third, keeping players healthy would not be a priority and spending for great talent / striving for excellence is in no area a priority. Medical will not be any different. Culture comes from the top.

Because it's bigger?

We played 2 seasons at Wembley, which is almost exactly the same size, and we still played well.

When we were good, we were winning away at pitches more or less the same size. We were doing that at the start of this season before the wheels fell off.

Its not the pitch size. For me, our home woes are because the players started fearing playing there or, at the very least, never looked forward to it.

Injuries have obviously exacerbated the situation, but it's a mentality thing IMO.

Well I'm one of those that believes 100% that the PL is utterly corrupt, and we're not a beneficiary of that corruption, quite the opposite.
As one of the biggest clubs, with one of the biggest fan bases....An ever present, and one of the BIG 5 that pushed for and instigated the very league itself....why do you think we're not a beneficiary of this supposed corruption?

Why would the league be conspiring to lose one of it's most glamorous, highest wealth generating clubs and have them replaced with a club like Milwall or Middlesbrough?

Not great for the brand or global tv audience, is it.

Incidently, Newcastle and Villa fans also think the league is corrupt. With the Big 6 (including Spurs) conspiring to keep them breaking the cabal by preventing them spending to break in.
