Community Shield - 2024/25 | 10 Aug Sat 3pm

[Stoned Rose]

I’m just really hoping Anthony hasn’t got his pen and pad with him.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

No Perone ??

Bit early.

 

[Stoned Rose]

We're missing key players and those involved are either academy lads or just half fit. We've been in the Community Shield three times in the last three years and lost them all. It's not a big deal, and it doesn't have a bearing on the league. It's just a chance to get some minutes in the legs. But United have got more players back sooner after the summer and have been in pre-season for longer. No biggie, just pretty obvious what's going to happen.

We’re going to win 4-0?

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Can’t even be bothered walking down to my local, such is my apathy for the result. Looking forward to watching the guys back at it but don’t give two shits about it as a spectacle.

That’s the spirit! Haha

 

[Gray]

We’re going to win 4-0?

A cock-eyed optimist.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Nico O’Reilly injured not in the squad.

I’d be giving your source a slap right about now.

Oh deffo.

I want to beat the cunts but if we don’t it’ll be funny to see them all giddy acting like they’ve just won the treble.

Seen a few rag shirts out and about today, big day for them.

Their cup final this whereas for us it’s just a jog out for the kids, the unfit and the outcasts.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Looks like they’re going with the same formation as the cup final. Hopefully Pep has worked out how to beat it.

It’ll be tough with an undercooked team and youthful midfield though.

Really? :-)

O'Really

10 at the back and hoof it up?

No source mate I explained a bit back I didn’t see his name on the match day squad that was posted so assumed he was injured.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Cancelo still cancelled thank fuck.

Thought Philips might get the nod though.

Surprised to see Eddie start.

Overall a stronger side than I expected.

Let’s hammer these swamp dwellling cunts.

Perhaps this is a sign there is a move in the works for Phillips?

And Pep has confirmed both Eddie and Stefan are staying this season, so not that surprising he is starting, I don’t think.

Please don’t I don’t think the locals could handle your excitement today:)

You are Gareth Southgate and I claim my £7 (joke adjusted for inflation)

 

[ufo]

Strong team but not sure how fit are those big boys but good to get some minutes

 

[Barcon]

Someone posted he was injured..

Probably heard it from the BlueTone bloke.
Legs hanging off like Kova and Gvardiol last year.

 

[Rammy Blue]

That’s the spirit! Haha

Ha, glad to have footy back but the thought of enduring the bellend rags in my local does nothing for me today! First one I bumped into for while the other day immediately gave it the “you’ll beat us 6-0” line, default now for them to downplay as they know how shite they are.

Yeah don’t want another Sane situation and having Philips break his leg haha

 

[jollylescott]

Stronger side than expected but still won't be enough. United should be comfortable winners today.

The art of the true Clarkie is that it must be both subtle, deceptive and challenging.

I’ve got to say we’re setting a very low bar these days :)

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Worried about that dirty rat Martinez injuring Bobb after he goes by him a few times.
