It’s on ITV/STV/UTV in the UK which is nice. DAZN in Germany so I doubt I’ll be forking out 30€ for a glorified friendly. Looks like I’ll be fiddling around with the VPN again.
I’m out Saturday so will miss this. Be nice to win it but not fussed really.
Can’t believe the season is 10 days away. Only seems like the last one ended about a week ago.
I hope the players are ready because I’m not. I’ve enjoyed no football and watched about 5 mins of pre-season.
If this was posted about our team/players on any other forum or social media platform, we’d be up in arms. So no, I do not wish any type of injury to any player on the pitch.
If it ain’t on here then it’s not a real trophy. But, it is a bit of a marker of where we’re at going into the season so for me seeing a good performance is more important than the actual result.
It’s not really a surprise though…it’s not like anyone new has been added…
The seven are;
Ali - prob plays this weekend Kelleher - picked up an issue a couple of weeks ago Ramsay - had an issue on arrival - annoying for his settling in, but not crucial to the team. Jota - recurrence of his hamstring issue if i remember correctly - we’ve known for a while - plenty up front Gordon - who knows, shame he’s missed so much of pre-season Ox - unsurprising really… Kostas - a “knock” - suggests he’s taken a bang to the joint, but done no damage to anything - not ideal if he’s missing the start of the season, but if it was a serious one we’d know.
Scaremongering and clickbait from TIA’s headline right there.
On the game itself, i don’t care about the result per say, but what I don’t want is us to get beaten comfortably - no 3-0+ scorelines. A loss by one and a half decent performance, or 0-0 pennos will be fine by me - however ideally we smash them to pieces.
Odd that the Super Cup is on but not the Charity Shield as they more or less perform the same function. Is the Charity Shield now demoted to the same level as winning the Transfer Window?
The Super Cup and Community Shield are both categorised as the same type of competition but there’s a bit more prestige to the Super Cup given you need to win a European trophy to get into it.
No one is counting the Community Shield as a major trophy though. It’s a “nice to win” type thing but it’s a while now since it’s been something that is really contested by the teams.
