This is really a game we could do without. Win and it really doesn't count for a lot except some bragging rights over Gooner mates. But don't want to lose as it's them and it would mean an end to the Mourinho v Wenger record. It will have to end at some point so guess this would be a better game than any for it.

 

Hope we win and win well but it won't be the end of the world if we don't but regardless of the outcome, I do see Arsenal as our biggest threat this season and won't be changing my mind after one game.

wrong, it never ends...not ever

Everyone I speak to has completely written us off for this one.

 

 

 

Must admit, I'm never confident going into these sort of matches, I seem to remember us losing a lot of shields.

The starting line that I would like to see is:

 

Courtois

 

Ivanovic

Cahill

Terry

Azpi

 

Matic

Fabregas

 

Moses

Oscar

Hazard

 

Costa (not sure if he's fit, if he's out, then Remy for sure)

 

I also hope that we would see Bertrand Traore or RLC.

 

* I want our 4 classic defenders to start together to show that we don't need another CB.

Don't much care for the result in this game. I would much rather be starting the season. Charity shield is insignificant to retaining the title.

its still a trophy to beat arsenal too, you grumpy git!!

I think this match will follow the pattern of the last few games we had with Arsenal. At the end of the day, it's a hyped up pre-season game. If Jose feels this is the game to trail out bench players, so be it ( I doubt it through)

If we lose, does it count as a match Wenger would have beaten Jose?

I must say I have a bad feeling about this one

Teebo

Azpi

Cahill

JT ©

Ivan

Matic

Cesc

Willian

Oscar

Hazard

Remy

Subs: Begovic, Zouma, Ramires, RLC, Traore, Falcao, Costa

What's our record in charity shield games?

Lost 4, won 3 since 2000.

What's our record in charity shield games?

We lost 97, 2006, 2007, 2010 and 2012

We won 2000, 2005, 2009

Not sure before that though

We're surely due to win one.

Chelsea are back in form, will beat Arsene on 2 August.

So still no suggestions about the Chels pubs up wemberlee?

Any idea which one to go for though or is it a question of which one you stumble across?  They're all going to be busy but which one can you actually get to the bar  and serves decent beer?

The only one I've been to is the JJ Moons and that was about five years ago. It was mobbed but can't remember it taking too long to be served. There was a small garden at the back as well In the past have tended to go the Globe in Baker Street. There is a Wetherspoons pub near Kingsbury Underground Station, one stop up from Wembley Park on the Underground. Last time I was in it, it was a mix of fans. Will be at the Wetherspoons in Liverpool Street Station this Sunday.

My niece is going to the Globe so may join her there.  What about you Yorkley?

rants the two teams going into the CS.  Apparently Gibbs is better than Dave and Whilshire is just as good as Matic....ROFLMAO

3pm U.K. time.

Good old 3 pm kick off!  I've said it before and I'll say it again - when you've got a long journey it is THE best time - not too early a start, drink at lunchtime and still home before bedtime!
