Match Day Thread Community Shield Special: Arsenal v Chelsea

So will William be banned for that despite clearly being clipped?

 

Quality from Luiz

 

Probably because Pogba had a **** season and was constantly upstaged by his haircut.

 

Lacazette looks like he'll score 15/20 goals for the gunners despite looking like Walcott dad.

 

UPDATE!

Arsenal 0 v 0 Chavs
(half-time)

A pretty dull first half, played by two sides struggling to find any kind of form.

Lacazette has been pretty anonymous, to be fair.

 

Shouldn't Victor Moses be suspended for this game? I'm obviously missing something, here.

 

It's a friendly. Presumably he's suspended next week.

 

Yeah, you're right. I thought this counted as a proper game.
Koscielny's got a three match ban too, apparently.

 

Morata wasn't the world's most expensive ever player, firstly, but if he underperforms to the same extent he'll be slaughtered. If he underperforms while doing all the poncing around that Pogba does he'll be extra slaughtered as Poggers was.

 

It's a proper game if you win like the Emirates Cup.

 

Is it a proper suspension for Pedro, then?

 

Wtf is the Chav defense doing? Free header for Giroud!..

 

Kolasinac. Something like that, anyway.

 

I had £2 on at 66/1 that both teams would have a card in each half in this and Bolton v Leeds. Must be time for Xhaka to do something stupid.

I believe Pedro will get suspended off the back of this but I'm not watching. What did he do?

 

Yes. Straight red card for violent conduct carries on into the Premier League.

 

Tackle from behind. Studs on the achilles. Nobody expected a red, though.
The commentators agree with you about the suspension. Misses our game, if that's true.

 

So Morata has to win 4 trophies or he's a failure???

 

David May won a European Cup too.

Pogba isn't a failure but he did have a poor season. If Chelsea win the Europa and League Cup and the majority of his performances are mediocre he'll be criticised. Pogba had no language barrier (no idea of Morata speaks English) either.

Do you think Pogba played well last season overall?

 

This new penalty shootout format is a joke

 

There were a couple of soft red cards in the league yesterday too. It always gets clamped down on in August then no one can be arsed to keep it going after.
