#39: The Community's Champions

The Arsenal have won the Community Shield for the 17th time, and in doing so have beaten Manchester City after 8 straight defeats to Pep's side. Join Towells, Manas & Seb as they dive into everybody's favourite good use of time: trying to make meaningful conclusions from a pre season game.

We discuss how Arsenal's three new signings fared on their debuts, how we can get the best output from Saka, and how the new stoppage time rules may affect the team over the course of the season, before finishing off with a quick preview of our Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest.

Timestamps:

The Community Shield: 01:28-32:14

The new stoppage time rules: 32:14-37:32

Nottingham Forest Preview: 37:34-46:08
