Too thin for that fat ****.

I still say we didn’t lose. Ok we didn’t win. It we didn’t lose.
A flukey equaliser did it but we played 101 minutes without conceding.
I love this team.

Well technically we won the title and the FA Cup, and the Community Shield is handed to one of those teams usually.

When is the open top bus parade in Islington?

Foden should have sealed and score the second goal. It reminds me similar chance in the final. He should be able to score these chances in such important games.

Agreed, Foden really needs to work on his finishing. He tried to place it between the keepers legs. Aim for the corner

This is what it really means to those players, growing up dreaming of winning the community shield.

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.

We beat the Dippers in a charity shield shoot out and lost Sane for the season. I know what I would have preferred

just a pre season game. I was pleasantly surprised by our fitness levels given our lack of pre season. I thought the starting line up kept the ball well but was a bit boring for my liking. Foden and De Bruyne changed that when they came on.
I think it will be a break through year for Palmer

Said the same this time last year- nothing to worry us there today - just need maybe 1 or 2 decent signings and keep Bernardo and all will be fine

Played a lot better than I expected to be honest considering we finished 2 weeks later and have played less games since coming back. We’ve had some really ropey performances in this but that wasn’t one of them even if we weren’t at our best. Hopefully the shield curse will carry on another year now!

Well the new added on mins has paid dividends already for a the losing teams you look at all the games thats been played over the weekend they have been so many late late goals because of the added time change!

When are we going to be 1 down and pushing for a late goal in added time!!? So another rule brought in to benefit the shit teams!
