Hi guys, football is back and back with the community shield this weekend where Man City face Arsenal in the curtain raiser to the premier league season. Seems strange to watch this game without Utd in it but shít happens.
Last year Moyes won this trophy and a lot thought he would go on to greater things but he did not and this year we have the league champions (City) versus the perennial underachievers (Arsenal) who struggled to beat Hull in the FA cup final to win their first piece of silverware in almost a decade.
So, both teams have had some decent displays in pre-season but have also been dumped out of pre-season cup competitions, City the ICC cup and Arsenal, their very own Emirates Cup, been a while since they won it as well.
So, I’ve got a couple of questions, primarily directed at the Arsenal fans;
If and that’s a mighty big if, you beat City, will you count the community shield as a trophy?
Should City win by a high scoring margin, will it have an effect on the collective psyche taking into account the massive defeats you had last season?
Finally and more importantly, if it is a heavy defeat, will the highlights make it into another BT advert?
Your thoughts please

It was the 3rd year of the much maligned competition and a dead rubber
Hardly generations

The OP's weak attempt at wummery and his embarrassing interest in the Arsenal proves two things.
1) He is bitterly jealous of our fans, our ability to celebrate when things go well.
2) For some reason he is angry about us, he looks at us, and back at his own club ( That I assume he began to support purely to wum others, in other words a plastic ) and sees a degree of class he can never, ever hope to be a part of. This inner turmoil is driving him insane, to the point where he is on the Arsenal website, trawling for hours to find a reason to start an argument. Very sad.
The fact that his wum has failed dismally, makes it all even sadder.. I almost feel sorry for the boy, as he he cries into his little pink laptop...
And yes, fellow readers, I DO know his comeback will be so lame and cringeworthy it will make him look even worse..but I cant be blamed for that...
