Arsenal play Liverpool for the Community Shield on Saturday....

How long will matches be played without spectators?

We live in uncertain times.

Arsenal win on penalties.

Feels like Liverpools best is behind them. Will it still be enough to win the league though.

Roman is spending again. Will we see them challenge again.

Imho, it's Liverpool vs Manchester City for the title.

Chelsea and the others battling for third and fourth.

Arsenal beat Fulham 3-0, good start.

Crystal Palace beat Manchester United 3-1.

Leicester beat Manchester City 5-2!

Rope a Dope there from Rodgers and in the end Citys defense panicked.


Leicester putting there hand up again as outside challengers .

Yuppie will be pleased to hear that Karl Darlow had a fine game for Newcastle in their jammy draw with Spurs. Without the 10 saves or so that he made, Newcastle could easily have conceded 4 or 5 goals and been on the wrong end of a thrashing. Instead, thanks to him, the ref, the VAR and a stupid handball rule they got away with a draw

He was due a good game eventually.........

Im giving the PL a break after last night. Why should I watch a fixed competition? Liverpool have already won the title because the referees are either on the payroll, or doing them a favour gratis.

Mane clotheslines someone.... nah not a red card of course. Ref didnt see it, but he didnt go to VAR. Why would he? because hed be forced to send him off, hes not being paid to do that.

Jota scores.... of course he controlled it with his hand quite clearly, but again why bother using VAR? Live it was clear to everyone, so the ref knows if he goes upstairs hes going to have to take away the goal, its not part of the bung contract to do that. So just ignore it.

But the most amazinng bit of biased reffing was when he waited to see if Arsenal got an advantage from a cynical foul, they then did get an advantage and the ref blew the whistle and brought it back for a foul as soon as it was clear that Arsenal had created a chance. I am not sure where in the rules it tells refs to wait for the advantage to become real, then give the free kick. Only explanation is cheating and corruption. Nothing else explains that.

And why in every other game do we get the VAR ref telling the ref on the field something needs reviewing, but when its Liverpool it never happens?

Why did we get two ridiculous handball decisions at the weekend and a long explanation of the rules, only for the Liverpool player to play volleyball and of course the rule suddenly defaults to the old one?

The FA want Liverpool to win, and they will win. I wont be watching it pan out

Leeds and Manchester City with an exciting 1-1 draw.

Jose will be loving this. Could get very ugly in the second half......

Englands defense of late is looking very suspect.

Pickfords form is poor and the worlds most expensive defender looks pretty ordinary of late.

Utd are arguably the biggest club in the world and they have Ole in charge. Everyone likes the man but Utd need to replace him shaprish.

Everton have Ancelotti, what a strange world we live in. Untied fans must really be wondering whats happened to them

Aston Villa beat Liverpool 7-2!

What's going on?

Manchester City are back in the race, Sussex.
