The Preview Show: Best of British

Crystal Palace are off to Wembley again! Is the promise of a first Community Shield victory for Palace enough to bring a bit of needle to Sunday’s curtain-raiser? Marcus, Jim and Vish certainly hope so as we gather for our annual preview of the community chest.

Elsewhere, we kick-start our campaign for Scott McTominay to win the Ballon d’Or and Arsenal have already given Jim reason to be depressed. Would anyone like to give him a hug?
