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

porkchopsaplenty said:
Of course any City fan, me included wants to win every game whether its a preseason game or Meaningful game. But the shield is not a trophy & not arsed if we win or lose. A league or cup game, I would've been disappointed. Arsenal players Running on the pitch over a glorified friendly ffs. We had to earn the right to be there by winning 2 trophies they got invited to the game by achieving nothing. The wooden spoon 2nd place trophy. Embarrassing. I thought they were a huge club?! Just like Liverpool always going on how City are small with no history unlike them. But celebrate when they beat us like its the champions league final. Absolute weapons. Shame they can't do it when it counts - In the league & FA Cup. Seven goals we put past them last season. 6pts which won us the league. Not beaten us since 2015 in a league game. 14 consecutive league games on the bounce we've beat them. Beat them in the FA Cup last season & went on to win that trophy. No league for 20 years never won a European cup. Small time mentality tbh. Yet we're the small club?! Jokers. Compliment in a way I suppose. City are a scalp & beating us is a big deal. Beating them is just another game They'll probably have a trophy parade ha ha ffs. Clowns gloating after the game. I was laughing. We really hurt them last season & it showed by their reaction. Just like Liverpools last season at the King power. All this crap about a marker & psychological blow in a glorified pre season friendly. Me & my wife were at Wembley. We were laughing at the players & fans reactions. They'll be crying again in May.

i genuinely dont think arteta will be there in 2 season, hes 2 emotional and when things dont go his way , he really is going to combust and then he'll say he is drained and needs time off
 
I understand any fans celebrating any win, especially one against the recognised best. That much is being made of the win by Arsenal's management and players, tells me of the desire to rid them of the trauma of last season: to be in front for so long and to lose it must be very damaging.

I can see Pep falling out with him as well soon, if these touchline histrionics continue next season. I'm really starting to dislike him

i dont understand the massive celebrations when you know you got away with one, it just smacks of not having moved on and not recognising your own limitations, its very much the same as liverpool celebrating in front of their crowd after snatching a draw with west brom

i think he'll be sent off more often than not next season, his histrionics and tactics of players feigning injury for extra time for his players for tactics and fluids are being highlighted now and the pressure on him is huge having spent another 200m plus being in the cl

Scoring in the last seconds is always an emotional event. What I was trying to say in the post about the behaviour of management and players is exactly what you say - they haven't moved on and want to use this to bury their trauma.

im not expecting them not to celebrate, its the celebrations and comments post match for a preseason friendly that i meant

It kind of says you’re a well supported club with passionate fans who’ve seen not just the good times but the bad ones as well…however, I think that’s true of most clubs

It's not true of rags, dippers and tarquins. Most aren't old enough to remember relegation, or in arsenals case, cheating their neighbours to gain promotion.
 
The Champions or Double Winners should be offered the option,by the FA, of holding the CS at their home ground or Wembley.

Some would opt for Wembley for the novelty, City would probably opt for the Etihad for the convenience and consideration of our fans.

In the case of Double Winners they should also have the option of choosing the opponent including a foreign opponent.

City v ......make your choice !!

But he'll still be building the team, that's the only thing the media will come out with. We didn't get those comments, we just got vitriol and hatred spewed our way when our spending started

hes been there four years now, spent over 800m with 1 fa cup, 1 charity shield (which they shouldnt have even been in) and 2 absolute collapses, the team is built or should be at this point and if it isnt that falls with him

Never realised he'd been there four seasons and spent that much. Time for him to deliver then
 
I think they celebrated abot OTT

But I think it's the tv companys that are making this friendly into something it isnt. Liverpool last season all the take about what's his name being better than Haaland. The first silverware of the season. Its bollocks it's a friendly with teams that arent match fit.

It's only fairly recent that it's been broadcast or is that my age.

I chose not to go as I dont like Wembley, I dont like the hassle of getting across London. Not really that interested in watching two under cooked teams. Not interested in paying the Wembley rip of prices. Arsenal had a 10 minute walk to the match and are use to paying silly prices.

How much was a ticket ?

it is and with the money hes spent theres no excuse and the pressure must be huge, same can be said of klopp, ten bob and pochettino and also postecoglu has spent a few quid at spurs and will be expected to change their fortunes, brighton might kick on but have lost two big players and newcastle have flown completely under the radar
