Our friends at 5Live excel again by describing today's match at Wembley as the "Community Shield Final".


It's listed as the final on the BBC Sport website too ffs Its almost as if the likes of Pep claiming it as a major trophy have resulted in such nonsense.

First time since 1989 that Rangers have failed to win either of their first two league games. I'm sure Russell Martin will sort it out though.

The way he's going he'll be out before the transfer window closes!

If they fail to beat St. Mirren and lose the Old Firm, the knives will be out. He'll be given a few months though.

Another Chelsea friendly on Channel 5 today, or as they put it, "Club World Champions Chelsea take on AC Milan...."

Falco?

Yes, first visit to Wembley as a 5 year old.

Didn’t return until 1994.

Celtic win 2-0 away at Aberdeen to go top of the table ahead of Livingston.

Why would anyone NOT boo the anthem? It's a celebration of your servitude.

We are all inferior, we are subjects. That's how monarchy works, and one of the many reasons it should be abolished.

Why doesn't the ref book Van Dyke? Stonewall penalty converted by Palace but he's in the ref's ear all the way back to the centre circle.
