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

You'll remember that we were known in the press as the “City slickers”. Although I've never heard any actual supporter use that phrase, either then or since.

I have used it.

Though, that was after a particularly unfortunate away day incident involving several blues sharing a curry of dubious origin.

Proof of my statement the other day that BBC do not properly cover sport for which they do not hold tv rights. BBC football page today under the headline
“ Everything you need to know about the CS” they do not mention that it is live on ITV. The BBC is tax funded FFS. No excuse.

Really poor from the club that we have to hear about Jack’s injury via The Sun and his absence from the squad via an FPL Twitter account.

Sort it out City.

Why would the club let the opposition know what team they are going to field

 

[wattle]

So what are we looking at here.

Ederson
Lewis, Phillips, Gvardiol, Ake
McAtee, Kovacic, De Bruyne
Bobb, Haaland, Doku?

vs.

Onana
Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Evans, Amass
Casemiro, Eriksen, McTominay
Mount, Rashford, Sancho?

Quite a strong United team compared to ours. Expect them to win.

No way in a million years that United team stronger than ours!! I’d be delighted if those were the teams

West .. Green Man side ..

Many thanks mate!

 

[chaddblue]

35.000

We’ve sold out?

Like a fucking morgue in the Green Man (apart from my 15 year old whose been on the Smirnoff ices on the way down and now waiting for the jaeger bombs)

It’s the Community Shield, not a PL derby game.

 

[paulchapo]

The actual match stats don’t reflect that though

I'm not interested in stats I was at the game. The rags scored twice, had a goal disallowed and looked like scoring everytime they attacked in that first half.

 

[lancs blue]

Snap. Best dead ball goal I've ever seen scored, any time, any where. Franny.

We repeated the same move a few years later against Norwich and it worked perfectly again.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Even with Jack's absence we still have far fewer injuries that them but Mainoo is in their squad whereas our Euro finalists are having a few extra days r&r.

Hopefully Mainoo picks up a strain

Too much information.

Might only be the charity shield but I hope we smack these fuckers off the park.

 

[pride in battle]

We’ve sold out?

Yes

 

[abu13]

Hoping we go with the following:

----------------------Ederson---------------------
Lewis--------Akanji--------Ake-------Gvardiol
------------Kovacic-----------Bernardo---------
Bobb-----------------Nunes----------------Doku
----------------------Haaland--------------------

 

[metsoblue]

Twatted west brom 6-1, Bobby Owen got two on his debut, I was there as well

Leeds away year later

Thanks for reminding me, perhaps keep an eye on Pep and see how’s he treating it

 

[SebastianBlue]

Too much information.

That was the abridged version.

----------------------Ederson---------------------
Lewis--------Akanji--------Ake-------Gvardiol

Bobb-----------------Nunes----------------Doku
----------------------Haaland--------------------

Why not play O'Reilly who has been superb in pre-season?

In Palma nova for the day, any good bars to watch the match? Can't seem to find the thread
