So which is worse - the appalling state of the Wembley pitch or Man City's away kit? Both are a complete eyesore.

definitely the pitch! I don't mind a funky strip.
Shame Spurs couldn't build their stadium in time

Pitch is a disgrace

Not as bad as that Arsenal kit yesterday. Pitch is poor but what do you expect 24 hours after an NFL game. Surely some logic could have been used when working out the fixture list

I've stopped watching it - totally distracting. Wembley is for football, nothing that damages the pitch or leaves unsightly markings should be allowed. It's owned by the FA - they need to learn what the F stands for and stop trying to rake in money from other sports. Football is the richest sport in the country - if it can't afford to keep the national stadium in a decent state then sell it and play England games around the country again.

You have to remember Mr H that spurs are now trespassing, as they shouldn’t be there.

If this was an England game being played on the pitch in that state, I would agree 100%. I also don't think the FA would have booked in an NFL game just prior to an England game. The NFL game would have been booked in at the time when Spurs were due to be in their new stadium by now, so it is no fault of the FA's.

I thought the FA owned the ground?

I quite like the city kit actually.... Reminds me a bit of the Liverpool kit from the Suarez era

They do, but I'm not sure I get your point?

If they own it then they're responsible for how it's used.

Its not the FA's fault Spurs have been unable to stick to their timeframe on the new stadium.
The FA are doing spurs a favour. No fault of the FA regarding the pitch, spurs were not meant to be there.

I see your point about Spurs, they were supposed be out of there a few weeks ago. I'm just annoyed about the beautiful game being played on ugly pitches. Anyway, I'm off to the pub now, goodnight.

You have missed the key issue
NFL has been booked in for a good year. Spurs weren’t meant to be there at this time
So the fa would have had until 15th nov to get the pitch fit for football
It’s 29th Oct now. They have 16 days

The NFL game was supposed to be at Spurs too. That is all in the contract, and why the Spuds are having a retractable pitch put in.

Pretty sure the game yesterday was scheduled to be at Wembley. The one on the 14th October was supposed to be at the new Spurs ground

I thought the NFL contract was with Spuds? Why would they also have games scheduled at Wembley? Makes no sense.

This year it was two games at Wembley and one at Spurs - ( the Oakland/Seattle game )
There will also be two games at Wembley in 2019 and 20 - with Spurs getting 3 games I believe at some point
BUT it depends on what Khan does and if he goes for Wembley again because he is imo looking for a home for his Jacksonville team or a franchise in London and Wembley would be perfect
Spurs want the games to help pay the stadium off
