2023 FA Community Shield Man City v Arsenal [Sunday 6th August @ 4pm]

[McBain]

Mostly dross

Man of the first half = ref.

 

[iron_monkey]

I need haaland to have a shot on target at least

Players have been doing it for years with no repercussion.

Perhaps they are trying to stamp it out for this weekend?

Any time Arteta gets a card though, he almost certainly deserves it.

Fair enough if that's part of the new approach this season but I hadn't heard anything about it like all the other changes.

Wonder when City will get bored of this and stick on KdB?

Does that mean we can have thread bans for those producing imaginary cards in here too.

Cutting edge BBC reporting

16:50

HALF-TIME​

Arsenal 0-0 Man City
Level at the break. Chelsea's Kai Havertz had the best two chances, both saved.

 

[robfosters]

Christ, can Havertz even be bothered. Shocking effort.

 

[fez]

I do love watching Odegaard play. Absolute quality.

 

[robfosters]

I feel like Rice is having problems adjusting to our speed of play compared to WH.

 

[Purdy]

Saka

 

[omnomnom]

What contact was on Saka?

 

[Robbo]

This has been a pretty poor game.

 

[omnomnom]

I was about to say he has to book him there. Stupid from Gabriel.

 

[Robbo]

What a cracker

 

[The_One]

That was a strike

 

[uber soldat]

This match should have been City v United, it's meant to be winners v winners not winners v losers.

 

[iron_monkey]

No SOT from haaland

 

[McBain]

One moment of quality in a really poor game

 

[CliffyG]

How does Rodri not get a yellow for that?

Edit
Commentators say because its not the first half...
