The result is no different from the artificial per season friendlies where crappy shields and pots were at stake. It’s inconsequential in the bigger picture. Let Arse enjoy their triumph, it means nothing and I hope blues can just calm down quickly and move on.
Personally I think we are a player or two light for a long arduous campaign but we shall see. As for Arse, they’ve spent a lot and don’t look anything special.

You'd have been sat on your own if they weren't there. Doubt that would have improved the atmosphere

Would have been less annoying than having to keep letting people past every 2 mins so they could buy hotdogs and pop corn!

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Thought we were unlucky not to win it, oh well.

 

[Millennium]

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.

 

[Gingers Dad]

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.

Did you approve of John boys highlights?

 

[daveiw01]

Very quiet, disappeared for most of the game.

I was joking, thought obvious, sorry Blue,

 

[coolcity]

The only thing that bothers me from today is that Foden didn’t start. It’s giving bad vibes for the season ahead. Could be that I’m reading too much into it, but he’s an absolutely key player this season as far as I’m concerned.

You're reading too much into it. I would imagine the coaches give the game time to those they think the need it the most in this sort of match. Remember he only signed a new 6 year contract last August.

ITV going crackers for the Arsenal win lol embarrassing stuff.

Straight off at Rodris miss, you know what's coming, media as a whole will be the same, fu*k em. As others have stated this will their only silverware this year.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

10+ yellows is guaranteed.

Should be nailed on based on his antics today, but I won't hold my breath.

Pep will probably end up with more for way less than that twat got away with today.

 

[The perfect fumble]

arsenal are so desperate its embarassing

Robbie Lyle celebrating with the AFTV mob....

 

[balotellishaircut]

At least we know what to expect for the coming season, the tarquins will be playing 100 mins plus games when they are drawing or losing, the rest of the league will be playing 94/95 mins, does my head in.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Matrercunt calling it a "big shoot out". I made my tea while it was on. Massive

What did you have? not arsed butties with a packet of apathy flavoured crisps?

 

[city888]

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.

Big difference from the FA Cup final

 

[Eccles Blue]

Anything JB does is alright by me. ;-)

 

[s1ty m]

Arsenal celebrated like Liverpool...how did that go, lads?

Community Shield, oh please, come on.

Yep, think we lack a proper direct winger who can also score as love them but Jack and Alverez either side of Haaland just lacks assists or goals

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

We're going to struggle to come back from this. Devastating.

 

[Shuffs]

Oh dear...lost our 4th friendly of the season, whilst not looking too bad.

Nevermind.

 

[tregyblue61]

Lost in 2021, 2022 and now 2023.

That's another Treble!

 

[Father Paul]

Let’s see who the clowns are later in the season. Thought he was poor today, and nowhere near Gundogan.

Not sure how he played today but I don't rate him. Maybe Pep can make something out of him but not at the same level as Gundog. Overall poor game but Arsenal are still well short of premium dippers so we will hopefully have four in a row come May.
