Obviously you fail to see the even bigger picture than your bigger picture.



Nothing personal, its all about the game

Fair enough, at work after lunch lazy do research but I'm pretty sure you are mistaken on 01, Liverpool won the shield but it is impossible they went on to win the league that 01/02 season because it was Arsene's 2nd league title with us!

LMAO since when do you even look at the bright side when it comes to Arsenal? I guess those Bora Bora vacations must have enlightened you. If so, good for you.

Or then again you only look at the bright side for your beloved Man U and Moaninho

Yes of course everyone wants to win everything.

However this was just to refute the point made earlier that the CS game shapes a season or is season defining.

More often than not the teams that win it fail to win the BPL. Probably it might affect early confidence but with 40-50 games to go a bad run could come at any time or you may even turn around and say it could breed overconfidence which could also lead to a slow start.

The outcome of the CS may somewhat impact a season but shape a season or define it? You gotta be kidding

Ok Community Shield and League Cup. 2 trophy. Play all the reserves in the BPL, concentrate on this 2 Cup. Its ok even if we finish 7th and no Champions League.

Look on the bright side, we still win 2 trophies right.

I'm actually glad this didn't happen after seeing how well Bellerin has progressed. Wouldn't want to impede his progression.

His performances in the Emirates Cup is really reminiscent of a young Philipp Lahm.

So pass Man U can adi? How about Moaninho? Shame on you forget about your 19th century football manager.

Any one except Bilbao or Besiktas is fine.

Glad Tommy V chose the right club

But we gave them back 30m for Sanchez

Arsenal team to play Man City: Szczesny, Debuchy, Koscielny, Chambers, Gibbs, Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Alexis, Cazorla, Sanogo

Arsenal subs: Martinez, Monreal, Flamini, Campbell, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud

This Community Shield looks to be anybody's game as both teams have quite a number of key players out although I would say City have the edge in midfield but their back 5 doesn't look the most convincing.

City lineup: Caballero, Clichy, Boyata, Nastasic, Kolarov, Navas, Fernando, Toure ©, Nasri, Jovetic, Dzeko

Cazorlaaaaa

Sanogo has looked very mobile. His off the ball movement has been excellent. Needs to improve his finishing.

Ramseyyyyy

Fuking well done Sanogo.

Bergkamp? LOL that's ott man

Give the dude some time. Sanchez may be there physically but I still doubt his match sharpness is at 100% after just coming for pre-season in the Emirates Cup.

4 of their back 5 in this game wont even get to start 10 games for the season bar injuries or suspensions.

Nasri out LOL
