West Ham boss Allardyce scoffs at the 'grass police'

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce can't see Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard moaning about his Boleyn Ground experience this weekend.

After Liverpool won 2-1 in the corresponding fixture last season Gerrard, who scored two penalties, complained about West Ham's direct style, the distance the team bus had to park from the ground, the temperature of the changing rooms and the pitch.

Allardyce said: "We've all got 'grass size' this year - a certain size of grass that we can't go beyond. It's one of the most bizarre rules I've ever seen.

"Someone's got a measuring tape to see what size your grass is."
