Good Morning, Bob. Here to join you for the first Super Sunday of the season. Both matches are on Plus
COME ON LEEDS! MOT! let's start a successful season with a win
Morning Boys
I am here with the CHARITY Shield about to start
Pep is already annoying me with him wearing a salmon t-shirt
The teams are out on the pitch exchanges pre-match pleasantries
Good morning, Dave. Pleased to kiss the horror shot of Pep.
Jurgen in a more conservative gray t-shirt
I am pleased that both teams are wearing their traditional colors BUT City have to wear a retro kit... I like it... Bell, Summerbee et all
We are off
Martin Atkinson gets the Charity Shield underway from Wembley
Morning, boys - we've just finished up some pancakes and bacon and are settling in for the Community Shield.
Agreed about the kits. Nit sure who we want to win. Would love to see a sinkhole swallow the lot of them
Wonder when it changed to Community... maybe they stopped giving it to charity
RIDICULOUS passing by City!!
It's not brilliant... it is arrogant and foolhardy
Then the keeper hits one long.... VERY DANGEROUS btw
The teams on display at Wembley this afternoon:
Liverpool (4-3-3) Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Origi.
Substitutes: Mignolet, Lovren, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Shaqiri, Matip.
Manchester City (4-1-2-3) Bravo; Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Zinchenko; Rodri; De Bruyne, D Silva; B Silva, Sterling, Sane.
Substitutes: Ederson, Gundogan, Jesus, Aguero, Angelino, Foden, E Garcia.
Good morning, Bob. Would love to have been up in Fred Town enjoying great brekkie along with the match
Two players from each team get a red and two players from each team off on a stretcher as well please
Another chance...created by ridiculous passing
OH!Joe Gomez with defending so scary that it was like Gomez Addams,. Had his pocket picked then Jesus shot into the side netting
EVERY bloody team tries to play the Barca way.... I HATE IT
Agreed, Dave.Really ridiculous defending
Great effort by Firmino
Bobby F with some great juggling then shoots straight at the Citeh keeper. BRAVO for the effort.
It's not that they are defending...they are trying to attack... way back in their own box
How can these perfectionist of managers allow their teams to be so dangerous
Corner bye KDB well overcooked and goes out of play for a Pool throw.
This match is the not the Season Curtain Raiser... it is the LEEDS UNITED Curtain Raiser
Oh - Salah was in but fluffed it. You'd have had that one UWS.
Or like you said earlier, being arrogant in defense.
Sala with a chance....hit it wide
Definitely, mate - it's the undercard match today.
Technically , the curtain raiser was in Bedfordhsire on Friday. Dave I do agree with you though
Sane down off what seemed an innocuous challenge bt TAA
The Spuds vs Inter is currently being played on Plus if you all prefer ICC action
That's one player down...keep getting hurt
Sane's come off early doors with an injury. Not good for him. He wants away.
GOAL... CITY take the lead with a scrappy goal by Sterling
Baad news for Citeh as that pseems to be it for Sane. Not a good way too start the season.
GOAL! Sterling bundles it over the line...just.
GOAL !!! MOIRE OF STERLING NEWS FOR CITEH AS THEY IMMEDIATELYU TAKE THE LEAD. DAVID SILVA WITH A NICE VOLLEYED PASS AND A HOIWLER BY ALLISON AS STELRING SCORES
I reckon that Alisson should have saved that one.
Oh - Ginger Winger was in but couldn't pick out the right ball. Citeh looking rampant now.
Where's Graham Roberts... KADOOMPH. Sometimes it is needed!!
Agreed, Bob. Anything but Sterling goalkeeping on that goal
I think any one if us could have prevented that goal
Salah with another chance...should have crossed it
Pretty greedy there
Oh - Salah slipped his man there but then hit the outside of the post!
Did my eyes deceive me? Citeh with a long goal kick. Is that right???
Sterling gets another chance on the rebound but saved
OH!!! Allison makes up for the error with a great close range save as the Pool defense was picked apart
They are saying Bravo is making some great long passes... IT WORKS!
He's made two great diagonal passes to the left back. Citeh must have spent hours practicing that during pre-season
Had trouble recognizing Kyle Walker with new haircut. Bob would like the haircut, but not the beard
Salah and Firmino have looked really lively. Liverpool’s problem is in midfield, where they are being outplayed.
Kyle and I visit the same barber.
Better from Pool. Nice run by Salah as he passes too Andy Robertson, but the return pass was off and Bravo rushed out to gather,
Nice of you to refer Kyle. Hope he appreciates that
Citeh bossing the first half.PL winners dominating the CL winners
A Leeds update.The League match at Salford is not this Tuesday, but a week from Tuesday
A Belgian waffle as KDB is booked for a foul from behind on Origi his Belgian teammate
I thought the League Cup match vs. Salford was this Tuesday, August 6, no?
Sorry, still being host
I'll check at the half, but that was the info I got from FOTMOB.
No, it is ten days from yesterday
No probs, Dave.
Thanks, Dave Sounds like I was right. Same day as Pool vs Chelsea in Istanbul?
A bit of a quiet period in the game.
KDB just offside off a nice long pass from the back
I t loos a warm day in London and the fact that it's still pore-season may be playing a part,.
Oh - that's brilliant. I thought I was going to have to miss the match for a concert that Gooner and I have tickets for on Tuesday.
David Silva down off a challenge from Gomez Addams. Didn't look malicious. pep needs to stop the childish tantrums.,
Pep gets a yellow for over coaching...kept going and didn't get another
IS the concert at the same location we went for the Peter Frampton and Steve Miller concert?
Pep was a lucky Boy as Weekend at Bernie's does the same to a lesser extent asfter a foul near the Pool corner flag
It is, indeed, mate. I've got marvelous memories of that summer night after England's triumph last summer.
Allison fumbles a Citeh corner, but gets away with it?
Agreed. That wa s brilliant day. One we will never forget
Citeh have choked the life out of this match.
Into an LOB blogging trio of stoppage time minutes
Also, Liverpool look tired. Must be a warm day
Ht
Bad 1 Ugly 0
Good kicks off at 11:30
Citeh one up at the half. A match that started quickly , but peetered out midway through the first half,
Brilliant description, Dave!
The end of a fairly boring half. Can't wait for some decent footie to start in half an hour.
That's not idol gossip.
Almost two minutes late for the start of the second half. Sure I missed quite a bit of action.
Not at all, mate. Back on for the second half.
Oh - off the Sunday roast by Sterling!
OH!!! Nice through ball from David Silva as Citeh beat the offside trap and with just Allison to beat, Sterling hits the post. Citeh should have been two up
Original's wins a corner off of Kyle Walker.
Just to let you know that if I was still teaching , I would have been going bak to work on Wednesday. Teachers in Harlingen go back to work tomorrow. Retirement is looking pretty good,
It must feel so good David!!
This time next year... I will have the same feeling!!
Nice one touch Pool passing and Salah wins a corner off of Zinchenko
The team news out of Ashton Gate:
Bristol City: Bentley, Hunt, Kalas, Moore, Dasilva, Pack, Brownhill, O’Dowda, Weimann, Palmer, Diedhiou
Subs: Wollacott, Baker, Taylor, Szomidcs, Eliasson, Paterson, Rowe
Leeds: Casilla, Dallas, Cooper, White, Douglas, Phillips, Klich, Forshaw, Hernandez, Harrison, Bamford
Subs: Miazek, Davis, Alioski, Gotts, Bogusz, Clarke, Costa
Head tennis off the corner from TAA. Eventaully headed back to Bravo.
Yes it is , Dave. This week I will really know I'm retired when teachers return to work. Happy that you're just a year away. It's almost there.You'll enjoy it,.
Is that idle gossip, Bob?
Otamendi tackles Bobby F for a Pool corner
Oh - was that over the line? Goal-line technology says no. The Russian linesman would have said yes.
WOW... I swear that was over the line!
No argument because of the goal line tech
OH!!! A Pool shot off the bar then cleared away. Pool have made a great start to the second half
Definitely hit the line
Salah now hits the post
Oh - Salah has hit the post again! The game has suddenly sprung to life.
OH!! off the Sunday roast on a Sunday by Mo Salah
The replay shows the shot from Van Dijjck only partially crossed the line, not completely,.
Looked at the lineups. Looks like a few new signings are in the subs bench. BPF no longer with Leeds.? Not even on the bench
Gundogan on for David Silva.
He went to Burnley this week
Atrocious break by Sterling!!
Liverpool man still down... Origi
How did Sterling not score? Through on goal then miss controlled and gathered by Allison
So bad by Sterling... what an atrocious touch
Got my link ready on the computer
The CS is on my Apple TV
Thanks for the update. Wonder who left as Burnley had three England keepers on their books.
Bob and I have our logos.... David doesn't
I don't think I have that ability. Will be switching over soon.
I thought the same about Burnley
I've switched over to the Leeds match now.
I think it's something to do with this computer. Am blogging on a different computer this season
Leeds better being wearing white since their playing City in red
I guess it's about that time. Can watch the rest of the Charity Shield as a replay
Link has finally started
NOPE... Leeds wearing dark gray and pink
Wahay! The teams are in the tunnel. Liam Cooper leading out the side. Not sure about this grey and pink number we're wearing this season.
Switched over . Teams in the tunnel at Ashton Gate.
Why sthe change strip. White doesn't conflict with red
Best of luck mate for a promotion winning season
Of course, if they do get promoted we would lose Plus and not be able to watch League Cup and FA Cup games
Thanks for watching with me, lads.
Salah with a shot at the near post... decent save
The charcoal gray closer to red than white is. Just trying to sell the new away kit. Don't like that tactic
Glad to support you, Bob. I second that . Hope Leeds win promotion this season
A bit of nifty footwork from Kiko early doors. Knock that straight off.
They're off from Ashton Gate. MOT! COME ONB YOU CHARCOAL GRAYS,.
Leeds should be wearing white shirts and blue shorts
It's actually more difficult to distinguish the teams than Leeds wearing all white would.
Don't like this camera position at all.
I thought the same
True - we should be playing in white with dark shorts.
Hendo refuses to shoot!!
These two team could potentially both be promoted at the end of the season
Agreed. Hard to properly view the teams from the high vantage point
It's true - Bristol City were 8th last season. They'll be around and about. A win today would certainly be a marker for us.
Forshaw is penalized there after Kal had coughed up the ball in midfield. Dangerous position.
AdamForshaw called for a foul
Not liking the Leeds keeper's kit
The camera is so high up, we got some birds in the shot there.
Liverpool about to make three more changes... The Ox is one of them
Matip heads in the equalizer
Free kick straight to Caasilla and easily gathered
Kiko is giving me hives with all of these clearances.
Is that what they call nosebleed territory? Sounds like the camera man needs altitude pills.
Leeds phaffing about with it at the back. Every teams does it!
STUPIDITY
Does the Charity Shield go to ET or straight to penalties?
Will there be a winner before pens at Wembley
One team needs to score inside ten minutes
Pool well on top
Pens
More potential promotion rivals in action tomorrow on the First Monday Nighter of the season. The Terriers vs the Rams . It's on Plus
Thanks, Dave
Wembley is loud...at the Liverpool end
Bravo with a great save from Keita shot
Should have scored
Taking my sis down to Newark tomorrow
Brother Mike turns the big SIX O tomorrow
Fodin about toe come on with 6 minutes to go
Pep just said he has the most talent of anyone he's worked with... PLAY HIM THEN
WOW ! Glad your sister was able to visit you. Happy birthday, Mike and quite a milestone
Wow! Happy birthday, Mike! Say hi to Lisa for me.
So talented that he's playing half a dozen minutes plus stoppage time,.Nice way to back up his praise.
KDB looks like he is limping. No one is saying it but it looks like it to me
Liverpool are the ones threatening
Useless corner... doesn't beat the first man
Leeds should have taken the lead off a poor clearance from the Bristol City keeper,.
Salah with another shot... quite a weak effort
Looks like penalties. Same as United yesterday
Another chance for Salah... well saved by a rushing Bravo
What the hell is the Leeds keeper doing
GET BACK IN YOUR BOX
Oh dear - Kiko is off his line again. He got away with it.
KDB is now down.. looks like cramp
YIKES! Kiko miles out of his goal, but got away with it. Bob's blood pressure being tested
Is he Australian?!!! He goes walkabout a lot!
Not a great cross, but it results in a Leeds corner
About to enter 4 added minutes
LOL! He's more like the spanish waiter on Fawlty Towers.
City deserve to lose this
They better not win it
Bob would love to Kiko himont of the starting lineup
I'm not sure that we have an adequate replacement.
Sounds like it's going to penalties
Sterling almost creates himself a chance but took it too wide
He needs to get the shot off
Salah with TWO chances!!!
Started with a bad pass of course
Salah has first shot saved then header bicycle kicked off the line by Walker
True. With BPF off to Burnley there probably isn't one. Another one poached by Burnley
It's been a good second half
WOW! Pool could have won it late on
KDB gets MoM.... useless choice
Pool with another chance... Shaq has it saved
Last chance corner... useless.. PENS
A decent and competitive first half at Ashton Gate
Salah's finishing has been atrocious today
Agreed. Several players did better than him
YES!!!
GREAT GOAL!!!!!!
Yes! Pablo! Get in!
Terrible defending...gave some much time at the top of the D
YESSSS!!!!! WHAT A GOAL FROM PABLO. GREAT CURLING SHOT IN THE UPPOER 90 FROM JUST OUTSIDE THE BOX,.
Score more and often!
Need a couple more without reply to go top!
Congrats, Bob. Delighted for you. Scored from just inside the D , but still a fantastic finish
Liverpool's new kit is 80's like
Leeds wina corner as they attempt to go two up
Spurs and Inter drew 1-1 and are into penalties as well
Like the fact that teams are going back to the retro kits.
City was a one off
Pool is for the season
No penalty shootouts at Ashton Gate?
