[Football] What? No Charity Shield Match Thread?

[Acker79]

City 1-0. No hesitation in celebration. Liverpool seem a little off their game, keep gifting possession to City, sometimes under pressure, other times no apparent pressure.

Looks like Sane’s immediate future is sorted out

Some pissed off Scousers here in Marrakesh as Hungarian GP on the big screen.

Oh yeah... I read about that this morning in the paper, then a seagull flew past, the dog barked a bit - and other things became more important like my coffee and pain au chocolat.

I can see the manager of Citeh's trophy room on the internet ordering more silver polish and tutting...

They should be pleased. It's mostly all City, minus the occasional attack from Liverpool.

 

[Acker79]

Liverpool getting a bit more possession. Not really threatening, but have a corner...


... that goes over everyone and out for a goal kick.

Pathetic histrionics from Pep and his team after a 50-50 challenge in which both players held their feet up fairly to win a ball. Pep was demonstrating karate kicks, he has lost the plot. I hate that fake team.

Pretty crap as usual, will switch over at 430 to see Bristol City v the MIGHTY , that should be ok

 

[Giraffe]

Zero interest in this. I’m bored of the top teams.

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

We won this in 1910 so it's only fair we give other people a shot at it. No interest from me.

Keeping an eye on this while watching the Leeds game later as a hilarious cock-up is guaranteed when Bravo is in goal.

You still watch the highlights on Match of the Day tonight.

Nah, why bother - it's been going downhill this past 109 years ...............................

 

[Acker79]

Liverpool starting to look dangerous. Van Dijk header against the crossbar, and down and out - half the ball over the line. Then Saleh hit the post.

1-1 Matip with an equaliser for Liverpool.

Strange though having to wait for VAR to confirm the equaliser. Saw groups of Liverpool fans sitting in their seats not celebrating for about a minute until it was confirmed, then they were on their feet going mental. It's going to be really strange not celebrating when the ball hits the net this season until the ref gets the nod from the VAR man in the studio. Apparently all goals will be checked (in case of a foul in the build up etc).

Also why no shirt sponsors on the Man City shirts?

I didn't know our Ben White has transferred from Newport to Leeds (as a loanee). He's actually started for Leeds today - 15 minutes played.
