Win English Super Cup | Arsenal 1 - 1 Manchester City | Sunday, August 6 | KO: 16:00 BST | ITV1

Just like that, the new season is here...and what a way to get it properly started, the cup of cups!

Can we add to our glowing collection of Shields and start the season with a trophy...

...going for our 16th title in this comp (and it is number 16, don't listen to wiki...as the one we "won" in 1991 (( my birth year too ffs )) was actually shared with Sp**s of all teams, so that one can get right in the ****ing bin) and I reckon we will win it 2-1.


Win it for Gabby Jesus, lads!

 

[Gooner Zig]

Partey got turned way too easily

 

[GDeep™]

It’s funny we have all these “great” players but they consistently do nothing in these games.

 

[ptrcopp]

Rice coming across far too quickly there leaving Tierney 2 vs 1.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Great finish. Mini mistakes from partey and Tierney we punished

 

[GLITCH]

Tierney with the assist as well.

 

[DanDare]

Not really sure what Tierney was doing so close to Gabriel there

 

[Dodero]

Nice skills from Tierney ..

 

[SA Gunner]

Good hit to be fair. Fine margins in these contests.

 

[bingobob]

You mean we should rest them?

Yes. This is a glorified friendly. Rotate the team around.

 

[TheGreatWright8]

What Foden done to Partey was absolutely disgusting.

 

[NieThePiet]

Tierney slipped there, so he couldnt block the shot anymore. Timber probably would have blocked it

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Partey got destroyed.

 

[Hunta]

It’s funny we have all these “great” players but they consistently do nothing in these games.

You’re the one who said City were terrible.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

****ing tierney

He stopped the first ball and then was off balance, hardly his fault

 

[BigPoppaPump]

Glad we don't have to watch extra time at least.

 

[A_G]

Partey got destroyed.

It’s usually the other way round

 

[Farzad]

Who says Arteta can’t change matches with his subs?

 

[Macho]

Yes. This is a glorified friendly. Rotate the team around.

Yeah I wouldn't have been mad to be fair.

 

[El Duderino]

Timber off ? KT please play well or else you'll be done today
