Wasn't fussed at all .. we left with 5 of the 90 to go
But watching them over celebrate really hacked me off
Hope it pissed off our players as much

So you were fussed then, anyhow 86 pages for a game no one cared about is impressive:-)

Looking forward to Friday haven't seen anything of Burnley so will be interesting to see how Vinny has them playing. SKY has a documentary starting on Thursday about Burnley last season, should be interesting.

Well done that’s a fantastic effort and a great donation, although at the same time I’m sure the local bus and coach companies would have welcomed the business.

Makes a change for put 35k london based man city fans get a chance to watch us..

No. Club has the option to extend to 2026. three years is an eternity to negotiate an extension. Which will happen

That a shame, he is too good a player for Arsenal

Thought our crowd were quite today. Were they tourists?

They could be arsed to get there, that's the main thing.

We were guaranteed to lose on penalties bearing in mind two of our main penalty takers namely Mahrez and Gundogan are no longer available.

Who also missed them...

And Mahrez should never have been one of them after that debacle at Anfield a few years back,weak as piss in that department,thankfully we don’t normally need to rely on them

FFS Shirley give it a rest and give it up.

Take heart that this was mostly down to the boycott.

Future finals at Wembley will hopefully not be like today.

Future Community Shields will be if we've been to two FA Cup games at the same venue just 3 months earlier.

It's too far and a shitehole to get to and from for a glorified friendly. Also as we go into these games half baked fitness wise and usually lose you can see why many give it a swerve.
