'The whiff of dynasty builders'18 August 2026, 8:44 am
It's the same lament every year, usually from the losers, that "you don't learn anything from the Community Shield season opener". This time however, it was Arsenal and Man City, clearly the two favourites for this season's Premier League title. If, as it is often proposed, the Community Shield is little more than a glorified friendly, why did both Mikel Arteta and Enzo Maresca field just about the strongest sides they could muster? -
Will Odegaard be like a new player?18 August 2026, 8:43 am
Martin Odegaard's man-of-the-match performance was the highlight of Arsenal's 3-0 Community Shield demolition of Manchester City and showed early signs that the Gunners' chief creator might be returning to his best after a frustrating 2025-26. Although Arsenal won the Premier League last season, knee and shoulder problems stopped their Norwegian playmaker from reaching his very top level. On Sunday in Cardiff, Odegaard capped an all-action display with a brilliant third goal when his dummy left City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma on the floor. -
'We proved the doubters wrong and we'll aim to do that again'18 August 2026, 8:41 am

Hart expects patient backing for Maresca18 August 2026, 8:38 am
Former Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart believes nobody should be "heaping massive expectations" on new manager Enzo Maresca this season, especially if the club's hierarchy aren't "putting pressure on internally". Last season saw Pep Guardiola bring an end to his 10-year reign at Etihad Stadium with a domestic cup double, handing over the baton to his former assistant manager. "I do feel the club will want to be pushing on all fronts but I don't think the same sort of pressure will be on Maresca this season," Hart said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. -
