Should've stuck to Robot Wars. Fat annoying cunt.
This so belongs in Random Shite.
Ah schadenfreude, how I love you so.

Mods prefer separate threads.
Ha.
We're actually divided in that (we don't have hive mind. Yet), but it's fair to say that some of the things that go in random shite deserves it's own thread as it might start some debate, & if we left it completely alone for a week most of the forum would consistent of one huge meandering thread.
Yeh I agree Random shite.. worthy..
not the type of thread that will open debate..
though you could argue @FoxForceFive robot wars argument is worthy of a debate..

The commentator said they were due to re-lay it but this has been put on the back burner due to the Main Stand redevelopment.
Not sure why some diggers driving about outside means we can't put new grass on?

Its a state at the moment and Rodgers has a swipe about it in virtually every press conference, to be fair thats all well and good if your Stoke but when your stated aim is to play a fast paced passing game and your home pitch makes that a virtual impossibility then somebody needs to have a word
A friend of a friend who I see occasionally works as a groundsman at anfield (he's a blue incidentally), he said last season when I saw him in the pub that they were worried all the work will fuck the pitch up.
Hes got a degree in grass growing or some bullshit & said that work so close to the pitch will prevent the continual regrowth (the vibrations of machinery with dirt & dust pollution being the main causes) as well as killing the existing grass. Like all top clubs there's only a couple of inches of growing material (soil to you & me) under the grass, with shitloads of sand for drainage, it can be very easily unsettled.
They put a plan to the club to temporarily increase the artificial percentage up to around 65/70% (it's currently about a third fake) which is how they got round the lack of air & light issue at the new Wembley (it's nearly 70% fake grass there apparently) but the club rejected that idea for whatever reason.
You're probably all asleep by now, it was a much more interesting conversation when pissed & taking the piss out of his degree. Well, until he told us how much he was paid & that he got to go to Istanbul gratis despite being a bluenose. Twat.
