The 2017-18 English Premier League season begins in earnest this coming Friday when the Arse host Leicester City. Today the Gunners had their final preseason tuneup, defeating Chelski F.C., 1-1 (4-1 pen.), in the Community Shield. This would be like handing an Interstate 5 roadsign (inscribed with ‘CALIFORNIA’) to the winner of the exhibition Dodgers-Angels Freeway Series every April. Continue reading
