    We won the double once or twice and we played whoever finished 2nd in the league in the Charity/Community shield.

    Newcastle once, 95ish iirc, banged them 4-0

    Liked to have seen Pogba, I reckon there was delay with his transfer why he is not playing. Who did man u play in the charity shield 1999 ? the runners up I think.

    I love this game, as it signifies the start of the season.

    I've a feeling United will announce Pogba BEFORE kick off, he's supposedly having a medical now.

    I'll also be lumping heavily on United, there's an offer floating about offering 8/1 on them on new accounts!

    I think BT Sport is reasonably priced for what you get, I have to say. It's when you add it to Sky/Virgin look at overall cost.

    Get it free on EE I think, if anyone's on EE mobile.

    That's fair enough but bt has a few channels and may be more to come
    It's still further expense
    Next there will be other company's getting games and charging.
    It's just not possible or fiesable to subscribe to all

    No I do understand that Vince.

    That's what pays for the clubs though sadly, if it does change we will see an Italian like decline where only the very top can compete.
