Arsenal (A) | Community Shield | Post-match Thread

Far more pissed off with that than I should be. I think its more to do with the manner of the defeat.
Foden missing the easiest chance of the match to make it 2, after that the equalizer was inevitable.
Then the equalizer itself, talk about a fluke.
Penalties. Enough said, cant score them, cant save them.
But what pisses me off the most was the 8 minutes. Hated it during the world cup, and its despairing to see it here now in the premier league. It is never going to benefit us, only the losing opposition.
 
We outplayed a team two weeks ahead of us in terms of fitness and I presume ( not sure as I switched off) that they are celebrating like they have just won the treble. Liverpool’s fans and players did likewise last season. Best part of today was seeing KDB back on the pitch. It’s going to be a great season but like last season we can let smaller clubs have their day in the sun. Leicester also beat us in the CS and we did ok that season. On to Burnley with a fitter squad and Gvardiol to come back in. Oh and Kova will mean we will hardly miss Gundo
Spot on, Kova and Rodri were excellent together. Lovely to see Kev back.
 
Bar some poor/unlucky finishing we would have comfortably won that,the deflection was cruel but better happening in something like this than a cup final or crucial league game,we will move on and concentrate on bigger things ..
Good thing in many ways, a very timely reminder that anything can happen in football no matter what. Way too much injury time or whatever they call it these days, and a scabby goal at the end of it, you could almost see it coming but I think in a cup final we would have played it differently and seen the match out.
 
Not really arsed about the result. Arsenal fans celebrating like they had won the CL final.

Atmosphere in our end was absolutely shite today. Where we were sat, it was nearly all tourists from overseas. They were more interested in getting selfies and getting up and down to buy snacks, than the game. The guy behind me asked my son to sit down as he stood up to clap subs off.

If it was like that every week I would stop going.
You'd have been sat on your own if they weren't there. Doubt that would have improved the atmosphere
 
Nowt wrong with a kick up th’ass in pre season, press will be all over that’s two defeats in a row & Haaland hasn’t scored in 6
Haaland Hope he finds his scoring boots next week! ...I still think we need another back up striker just incase and def another attacking midfielder get used to the 100 mins every match against us
 
Considering the champs league final and therefore being behind other teams fitness program then we did really well and was a great warm up, No injuries and like last season from this disappointment we go on to win cups.
We might want to have a bit of pen practice but we didn’t have mahrez and subbed off Haaland. Have a glass of wine and enjoy the season you top blues.
OK. Cracking open the Blue Nun as you speak.
 
So spending over £600m gets you a shield

Oh well onto Burnley the most important game
