Apparently the authorities are worried about Spurs fans bringing flares into the stadium.

That's what was in fashion last time they were there.

I'm so conflicted about this match. On the one hand lumping more financial misfortune on Man Utd is incredibly attractive, but on the other hand, Spurs winning a trophy?

Until Guardiola pointed out that City had won the Charity Shield this season, in an overflow of schadenfreude led me to wanting Man Utd to win, just so that they were the only club in UKs third city to win a trophy in 2024-25.

Spurs beat us 4-0 at home so the least they can do is beat our neighbours too.

Of course, Spurs being Spurs, that's never going to happen, and in a resurgence of Cityitis, ManU ending their worst season for a couple of generations with a trophy and chumps league next season while City end up with nowt just seems destined now.

In real football news, Kevin de Bruyne's last home game tonight. Best player I've ever witnessed, bar none.

Claiming the Community Shield as a trophy is real last resort straw clutching. Love it!

What, you won't even allow us poor deserving City fans even that crumb of comfort?

I might go to the pub 2 minutes walk from my home to watch the game tomorrow night. I haven't been in a pub since my birthday last November, so why not! It's a weird scenario that the winners will be in the Champions League next season while the losers won't even qualify for next season's Conference League qualifiers, due to both clubs poor by their standards league positions! When they say the winners will be in the Champions League, does that mean they go straight into the draw for the groups, or will they have to take part in the qualifying rounds?
