Modern football and what do we see plenty of sides doing just to get that perfect surface?, yes, you guessed it, water the pitch, before the start of each half.
Hmmm. I'm confused now.

When we won three league titles and an FA Cup in that decade, narrowly missing out being the first club to do the double that century, our hoofball style of football would surely gain no advantage from a watered pitch if the ball was in the air more than on the grass?

I must admit though, international call ups must surely play havoc with a title chasing club.

Look how it didn't affect Wolves, Liverpool, Man Utd, Leeds, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Spurs, etc, etc.
