The pitch looks in pretty good state.
It's been raining all yesterday, through the night, and really hard this morning. By rights the ball shouldn't even roll!

Nah, have you ever seen a cross section of a Premiership pitch? It's 4" maximum of turf, the 'soil' isnt soil but a mixture of elements designed to help grass stay put, grow properly & allow water through without soaking in too much. The grass itself is engineered specifically for the same purposes.
It's effectively a grass carpet over a flat heated plastic drainage system, not a 'pitch' like we play on.

Alright Titchmarsh 😉
United look like they'll drop points here, not that it really matters to us.
The questions will all be about Rooney tomorrow.
