Wrong thread again?

Nah ya fisherboy you, formerly the Isolated One. I’ll bite. Couldn’t find a Charity Shield thread to please you. And it’s a traditional opening part of a season, this one being EPL season 20/21.

No comment by you about this absorbing match? 1am Adelaide time past your bedtime?

when does season start , are fixtures out yet ?

Community Shield is this weekend, PL starts 12 September

Yep, Arsenal won the Shield 5-4 on penalties. 1-1 after 90 minutes. Great goal by Aubameyang.

ManCity v. Lyon 1-3. Half-time was 0-1 with Lyon controlling the play. But the drama was at the 86th minute mark, with the game poised at 1-2, when Sterling missed a tap-in with the goal-mouth completely open. Instead of Sterling equalising to make it 2-2, Dembele raced down the other end in the 87t...

Barcelona v. Bayern 2-8(!). Barca absolutely slaughtered. When, if ever, was the last time Messi was on a losing side by that margin? Pique now officially past it - a mere statue in the Barca defence. The Bayern forwards and midfielders simply walked past him. Coutinho helped himself to two goals w...

Fulham’s second goal was well worked. Deserved their promotion.

Man city v Madrid is in Manchester. Bayern v Chelsea is in Germany and the UK will have commntators in the stadium I would think for their coverage? Then all games are in Portugal. I don't get why Optus are changing their succesful format? Rather have Simon Hill commentating from here than Martin T...

Came from 0-1 down to win the 2020 F.A. Cup 2-1! Another trophy for Arsenal (a record 14th Cup win) and into Europe next season. Anthony Taylor starring for Arsenal. Now now, Nice One Cyril Knowles.

Came from 0-1 down to win the 2020 F.A. Cup 2-1!

Another trophy for Arsenal (a record 14th Cup win) and into Europe next season.

1-1 halftime. Very open and entertaining. Might have been a red card on the Chelsea skipper.

Arsenal v Chelsea in the F.A. Cup Final (2am Sunday 2nd August Adelaide time). The big finale to the English season, buried away from an Australian audience on payTV, no publicity or preview in (that ex-Aussie, now Yankee citizen) Lord Rupert Murdoch’s “The Australian” broadsheet. Arsenal stand alon...

Ponderous display by Manchester United in their 1-3 Semi-Final defeat to Chelsea @ Wembley. London derby now for Chelsea in the Cup Final versus Arsenal, 4.15am (Adelaide time) Sunday 2nd of August. Are you unable to use the correct thread? Yeah, nah, yeah - you’re right, formerly the Isolated One....

Ponderous display by Manchester United in their 1-3 Semi-Final defeat to Chelsea @ Wembley.

London derby now for Chelsea in the Cup Final versus Arsenal, 4.15am (Adelaide time) Sunday 2nd of August.

Arsenal into yet another F.A. Cup Final with a disciplined 2-0 win over ManCity in this morning’s Semi.

Not a bad week with the win over Liverpool as well to boost morale.

Still missing a creative midfielder positioned forward of Xhaka and Ceballos to “make the play”.

Wow, in the past week the two Manchester Clubs have scored more goals than Richmond, the transplanted Swans, Hawthorn and the Camry Optus Crowies.

Channel 7 must be having apoplexy having so fewer opportunities to show adverts trying to sell stuff to people.

Yes, RIP big Jack. I admired this towering centreback of the 1966 World Cup-winning team.

He was also a colossus @ Leeds and the unlikely manager of Ireland. RIP.

Congrats Liverpool.

Yep, wonderful news that we will be hosting the World Cup together with our ANZAC cousins!

I was lucky enough to watch the Dortmund match, they were superb and inventive but Schalke were very poor, Still, it got the blood flowing again, more please! :grin: Dortmund are an exciting team.

Phew! That was close. I thought Liverpool would match Arsenal’s record of going a whole EPL season unbeaten.

The Invincibles of 2003/04 keep their record intact. Long may it stay so!

How cabernet were Chelsea,a total embarrassment for English football. More likely a statement on the talent of German Football, me thinks. Are you ready for this....I agree with you OM.

3 down at HT is not an issue.

Ha. Yes, overcoming Barcelona back on the Mersey wuz special. But Chelsea’s return game will be will over in the bier capital, won’t it?

Glad I got up to watch 3 terrific goals by Arsenal to overcome Everton.

Now only 4 points and striking distance of 5th spot.

Is it confirmed that 5th position gets a Club into the Champions League if ManCity’s sanction stands?

Thoroughly outplayed by a relentless China but escaped at the end by equalising to make it 1-1 and top the Group. Kerr and others strangely anonymous for much of the game. They have avoided playing South Korea from the other Group and now meet Vietnam. The main thing is they should now qualify for t...

G.Isn’t.A.E., I’m confused. I’m sure I read on some post that you wrote that teams should be fined if they field weakened teams. Wasn’t that the case in ye olde days so big clubs couldn’t field weakened teams which could cause an opponent’s relegation? And you don’t think that principle holds in tha...
