Does anyone know why we didn't take part in the 1971 Charity Shield? Wiki says Leicester vs Livpool

Why was this?

[the splendor of antigone]

In 1971, Arsenal became the second team to win the Double since the Shield's foundation, but owing to their previously arranged pre-season friendly matches, they could not take part. Leicester City were invited as Division Two champions to play FA Cup runners-up Liverpool instead and went on to win the trophy, despite having never won either the League or the FA Cup.

behind Utd and a fair way behind L'pool.

It should be rescheduled. At least the scousers didn't get a trophy as a result of our money making shenanigans.

Don't pretend there's any authenticity left in it, and accept that it's there to make the filthy rich capitalist swine richer, and the to dull the revolutionary potential of the proletariat.

COME ON THE ARSENAL :bow:

most wins.

If the ruling classes are going to use spectator sports as the modern mass opiate, I just prefer if we got more counter-revolutionary trinkets than the northerners.

Not much to ask in return for my servile compliance, is it, citizen?

home nation internationals.

Joke.

Bet we got someone injured which cost us the defence of our trophies.

That always happens to us when internationals get played. At least it does nowadays.
