This is The Guardian.

Hello, and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly.

We obviously shouldn't read too much into the Community Shield, but let's just give Arsenal the title now, shall we? A three-nil win over Enzo Maresca's Manchester City in the Community Shield.

Martin Odegaard was great.

Nothing like sitting down a keeper.

There's some transfer stuff.

Cristian Romero to Athleti was meant to be.

Hopefully, someone on the pod can tell me if he's brilliant or not that good, 'cause I've never been able to work it out.

Then to the EFL, Zian Flemming hits two late ones as Burnley hold West Ham.

Wolves also draw.

Middlesbrough leave it late against Lincoln, while fancied Norwich and Southampton both lose.

And one Portsmouth fan has already ripped up his season ticket.

In League One, Cambridge are fifth.

And in League Two, widely fancied Salford get battered.

Elsewhere, there's the brobiest brobi, brobi, brobi goal to discuss.

Your questions, and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly.

[upbeat music] On the panel today, Will Unwin.

Welcome.

Hello, Max.

Happy new season.

Meadow Lane and then Turf Moor, the season has really begun for you.

Sanny Rudravajhala, hello.

Hello.

Yes, I'm back.

Uh, yeah.

Good to see you.

And welcome, Ben Fisher.

Hi, Max.
