The Community Shield is next week...
The fixtures are out at 9am tomorrow.
Haven’t they usually leaked by now?
I'm a twit
There's always stuff about them being accidentally leaked (this time via FPL) but they never seem to be true. This year's leak has both Manchesters at home in week 1, I don't know if that's even possible.

I dunno if that image is working in the tags.
Why would they not? One Saturday and one Sunday. Plus, there probably won’t be fans at them anyway.
Speaking of fans they're apparently going to be allowing fans into some MLS matches including Orlando City.
It's a helluva thing that they're going to scheme this out so that if people say, oh i don't know, value their health more than MLS they'll just forfeit those tickets... whereas previously the idea was "any ticket unused would qualify for a 2021 ticket".
I realize it's a business and all but it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Yeah, I hadn't really thought about the lack of fans - I guess that's why the rule exists.
Another fly in the ointment is there's a strong suggestion City and United are both going to face League Cup round 2 exempt teams (ie CL qualified ones and Arsenal) as they'll be playing their opening game midweek rather than on the opening weekend (when I think the league cup is meant to be on - Spurs are also UEFA Cup qualifying I think). I would think the league would be keen to try to avoid a real mega match on the opening weekend so it'll be a mix of Leicester and Arsenal for the Manchesters, would be my guess.
The quality difference is so apparent in this one after only seven minutes that the Hungarians will be disappointed if they only score 4.
No idea what the fuck Djurgården are trying to pull here. Usually play 4-2-3-1 with possesion heavy football. This 5-3-1-1 crap or whatever it is just garbage. Like we surrendered before the match even started.
You're up against the mighty Fradi, just be glad to have lived at all.
No Dembele in starting line up. Boateng is a lucky boy
Should be ahead now, won’t break these down to often.
Wonder of my stream to pause right there. Looked a certain goal.
Bayern are a mess defensively. Cornet could have a great time against Kimmich
I thought this was tremendous when I read it earlier. The quote from the Premier League idiot about 'moral causes' is ripe for testing against what looks a lot like genocide, so hopefully some Muslim player gives it properly large eventually and drops the overseas broadcasting right in it.
Bayern's full backs are pushing up far too high right now, especially Kimmich.
Woof.
That's brilliant by Gnabry.
What the fuck was that
Some wallop that.
Lyon should have been 3 up now it’ll end about 6-1
Sorry, I mean big throbbing veiny ebony cocks. [/TAZ]
Lyon should be about three up, but that's a beast of a finish Gnabry
I, too, think Lyon should have scored three goals by now.
Was that Serge 'Not good enough for Arsenal or West Brom' Gnabry?
It's ridiculous how many this Bayern team score.
Neymar and Mbappe are going to have the time of their life against Bayern’s high line. Should be about 5-3 someone
to be fair phonics you just killed Koeman yesterday for not making a young Sadio Mane into the world beater he is today so does the same not apply for Gnabry's time at Arsenal?
It's not my fault people have to live in a world where everyone is either AMAZING or SHIT and can't consider anything inbetween.
I'm just not sure how offering a contract to a player and them not signing it means the club rejected him.
I'd like to consider a lot of things which is why I asked you, friendo.
Could have played him a bit to make him want to stay.
You seem angry.
His knee was blown out for his entire Arsenal career?
Looking at his Wiki. You loaned him out to West Brom in 2015/16 (after his knee had blown up) re-called him in January as he wasn't playing there and decided not to play him yourselves.
So is Koeman worse off for having played Sadio Mane and Sadio Mane not been who he was in 2020... or is Wenger worse off for having not played Gnabry at all?
Not sure what part of this makes him a reject?
Edit: @bruh you know what everyone was saying about Arsenals 2016. They’ve got a really firm grasp on contracts and transfers...
Wenger clearly didn't fancy him, he'd have given him games if he had.
Clear case of rejection.
I hope Neymar puts 5 passed Bayern.
Bayern have looked very ordinary at times here and if they keep playing this high line Mbappe will cause some trouble and get PSG a couple of goals in response to Bayern's 6.
I hope Bayern put 5 past them and he cries. Again.
I think it's gonna be a nice final.
I hope UEFA put on all the bells and whistles for an empty stadium.
They should ban fans and play this mini tournament every year.
Credit to PSG for somehow contriving to make FC Bayern München look like the lovable good guys and the people's champions.
Bayern have a reassuringly cold, Teutonic sort of evil cultivated by grinding their domestic scene into dust for decades. They've earned the hate the hard way.
How old are we saying that Alphonso Davies really is... 22, 23? #NoRacist
