It's been at Wembley (or Cardiff for a while) since basically the dawn of time outside of a few unique cases.

We arent going to big-league it and withdraw. Every other team played at the designated venue, we arent special.

If both teams supporters boycotted the charity shield enmass then either it would cease to exist or they would in future have to hold it in a neutral venue.

The unfortunate problem there is that those tickets will be snapped up by tourists who will flock to a Manchester Derby at Wembley.

Thus ensuring the same issue remains.
 
So; as expected, Rodri and our England trio won't be playing tomorrow. That will considerably weaken us. Now, the Community (not charity) shield will be bottom of Pep's list of priorities. And rightly so. But I really don't like losing to that lot. Which is definitely a possibility, given the absentees.

How do you spell that noise you get on Family Fortunes when someone gets the wrong answer? Try this "Ihh uhh"

Well we managed it with them last time!

Rest is key though. Hopefully serve us well over the season, particularly for Rodri.

It's a better excuse this time though. Much better than 'our players had been on the piss celebrating 4-in-a-row'.
