Arsenal Vs Liverpool (Community Shield)

[Calum]

So our first game of pre season is the community shield 2020 is a fucking messed up year

Who will lift the famous shield?

• Arsenal
• Liverpool

[Phoebica]

I put Arsenal, but only because I think Liverpool will give even less of a fuck about it than we do. Klopp probably won’t even turn up!

[Mr_Nostalgia]

We’re only just back in training today aren’t we?

[Flexo]

We aren’t going to take this seriously, are we?

Arsenal should field an eleven full of academy players/graduates.

[Leper]

Why is this a fortnight before the league starts?

[InvincibleDB10]

Because Wenger isn’t here anymore, does the Community Shield still count as a major trophy?

[Leper]

If we win its a trophy, if we lose its a friendly. That’s how it works.

[sunny310c]

Was wondering the same thing.

Anyway, inconsequential game. Can’t read too much into a win, a loss will give the doubters more fuel. At the end, as long as we don’t pick up any injuries (being the first game in a few weeks), am okay with whatever the outcome.

[Phoebica]

Because there are international fixtures the week in between

[Leper]

Yuck

[giner]

Pretty much it. WGAF? Wembley is a second home for us. Arsenal win.

[Aussiegooner]

Now this really is a friendly to gain some match fitness ahead of the season.

[ljungbergkamp]

So f*cking glad there is football again!

[MissRedNL]

So strange that this will be our only pre-season game.

afcstuff

Shirtless players will make it more exciting though

[shamrockgooner]

Will anyone actually watch this?

• Yes of course it’s The Arsenal
• I specifically bought a month of BT for this game despite claims to the contrary
• Maybe, if I’ve finished Netflix by then
• I am washing my hair
• No

[Bl1nk]

I’m at the beach that weekend, a long awaited break at last. Don’t care much about this game.

[Calum]

Going out in the afternoon and then to my friends new flat on Saturday. I’ll check the score on twitter and here.

Don’t think it I’ll miss much

[MissRedNL]

I’ll be on a 4-5 hour train journey to Scotland while the game is on, so will watch as part of my onboard entertainment

[LordBendtner]

Lolpool have been in training for weeks. It will be a bloodbath. Kneejerk reactions incoming anyway when we loose.

[Phoebica]

I noticed @Bl1nk and @Cristo voted “washing my hair”. With their luscious locks, I’m pretty certain they’re not even joking!
