This and the world club championship are far more prestigious than the charity shield

Definitely should be classed as major honours and pretty sure every club would

They certainly do in Spain

BBC Sport are a bunch of Rag cunts, but I don’t think they do what you describe. Games are always listed in terms of time of day the game kicks off aren’t they?

Nope... They're just Rag cunts.

Is your reply tongue in cheek? As I 100% agree with what PC has written, go on the right website’s and almost every night of the week it’s kicking off big time across Europe at European qualifying games.

You're welcome to 100% agree with whatever you want but thankfully, it's not true to state this is the height of hooliganism.

Just on a factual point, even the "right websites" would struggle to show evidence of it "kicking off big time" every night of the week when the qualifiers are taking place a maximum of three nights a week.

The trouble witnessed last night is thankfully a rare occurrence.

A must win. A first for the club. I will be very disappointed if City get beat by Seville.

Ok five nights/days a week then. The death was thankfully a rare occurrence unfortunately the trouble between teams across Europe is widespread and getting a lot worse over the last 12 months and again thankfully not yet at the height of the 70’s & 80’s.

Ok, maybe just me, ive never taken any notice of it previously.
The fact its being played in a 30,000 seater stadium shows how important it is.
Like i said, i obviously hope we win it

The Europa league final and Conference Cup final are also played in quite small stadiums. Are they smaller than The Community Shield too?

When aren’t you unhappy and disappointed? ;)

Can’t wait to see us win it! :)

96 arrests so far. 8 injured. A death. UEFA won't blink an eye.

"The previously communicated decision regarding no away supporters for both matches is maintained and all necessary measures shall be implemented." Plenty of home fans knocking around on the 15th watching their game.

UEFA statement on AEK Athens FC vs GNK Dinamo match

The match planned to be played tonight in Athens has been postponed.

It's not the first time for dinamo Zagreb.

Hope uefa ban those fascist forever.

They came to Athens only with one purpose. Violent clashes

Croatian Media: "Dinamo Hooligans Planned The Attack In Athens For Years"

The last time Dinamo Zagreb was in Greece for an official event was in November 2015, when Olympiacos won 2-1. Still, that match was also marred by incidents
