Ref lost the plot

Over under on yellows was only 2.5! Going to SMASH that. This fixture typically gets only 2

I think the Arsenal are still hurting that City won the league…

yawnfest this game so far

Why did Haaland stop? Utterly bizarre. He just had to carry on running and lunge at the net and it goes in off him.

I do find that is actually a weakness he has. There were quite a few times last season where if he'd have chased things down more he could have got on to a few things. He'd have scored there if he'd have just carried on sprinting and stuck a leg out.

Good corner.

Arsenal fans treating this as the CL final which makes sense considering they're playing against us.

Small club mentality

Has there ever been a red card in a Charity/Community Shield match?

Keegan and Bremner in 74

They got booked for the same. Stupid from Alvarez

Stupid from the ref, more like. The ball was out of play according to the linesman, so how can Alvarez be deemed to have kicked it away?

And it’s Arsenal’s only chance of silverware this season.

Were playing this like a pre season friendly. Arsenal aren't.

We're doing ok.
