Can get my Community Shield ticket tomorrow morning for 16th August.
Never been to one before but we fancy a trip to The Millenium Stadium
A month today, can see us having a somewhat strange line up for that game.
Pretty sure both teams will to be honest.
It's a glorified pre season friendly but it's great to be in. Quite annoying last year when we weren't in it for the 1st time in years and it was dippers v Palace. Only positive was the result.
Saliba out for 5 months now isn't he? Hopefully they get a few more

The UK government has said "the World Cup might not be ours, but the Falkland Islands definitely are," after Argentina players celebrated their victory over England by waving a banner in support of their country's territorial claim.

Took all 3 kids to see us play TNS there, in UEFA cup (?).
In another world!
I remember going there as a kid for that game. Roof closed - strong smell of grass when you walked to your seat. And Willow Flood playing

And fhe stadium not even a quarter full

These managers make stupid money for being thick
He made bad subs but the players started retreating right after they scored, well before any of the subs we made. Cabo Verde showed more guts and fight than the English players

In all honesty, was England's route and game that different from Arse reaching the European final?

Infantino gifting Drump more FIFA money at a FIFA ball in Trump Tower last night. The FIFA president really needs to step down.

It's the loudest disease known to man, it makes people froth and say things they normally wouldn't. Rumour has it it turns normal coloured hair into a blue rinse look and drives sane people to install a septum ring and paint gayly coloured placards.

An echo chamber is where someone has no reply to a point or statement made, do fucking try to keep up.
Do you want a safe space?

I want a space to discuss football, not a therapy session for lonely pensioners coming to grips with the fact that there are different types of people in the world.
It's beyond tedious and it's killing this forum. There were 5x more posters on here a decade ago and now there's just a handful of hateful loners ranting to each other because it's boring as fuck for normal people to come on here to listen to you

I wasn't here a decade ago maybe it's cunts like you that drove them away? I suspect you're not "normal" in any way shape or form and it's delusional that you believe you are.
Who are you anyway, and why should anyone give a fuck Napoleon?

This Argentine team already proving after 20 minutes that they are snidey gits. Already two yellows missed by the ref. I hope Romero stays at spuds

Referee showing us that he's prepared to let Argentina grapple , kick and push their way to the World Cup. The first yellow will probably go to a Spanish player

That would be correct Zurich. Seems to be an national team mindset. Even Alvarez getting in on the act. At least 3 should have been booked by HT. The World Cup has been hijacked by US commercial interests and made into a fucking shit show resembling a Superbowl final. The half time break of 15 mins going to be stretched by another 15. Watching kids, Muppets and has been pop tarts destroy the playing surface for the second half. Now it's a BBC advert pushing me to stop paying for a licence
