Charity Shield

Just back. Brilliant day.
Great to catch up with everyone following the summer.
Talk of Conte mastering Wenger was proved to be a joke.
We got out tactics perfect again and the team selection worked very well.

Can't wait for Friday to come.

and Lacazette WTF!


What are you expecting ? He showed movement and a fair amount of ball skill , when he has Ozil providing and another forward making space for him he should be alright.

for a 50 m striker I expect a bit more than 'when Ozils in the team he will be alright'

Yeah, we gave him a good run. We gave him a good chance to prove himself.
Hope we can offload him before the transfer window ends......

Nice win and good performance. Liked the look of Lacazette, really unlucky not to score. Seems to be comfortable both as a poacher and dropping deep linking with midfielders. Xhaka was outstanding bar the rash clearance. Their goal even afterwards could still easily have been prevented though. Bellerin and Ox were poor. Doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. We've won 2 Community Shields in the last few years and neither translated into a title challenge.

Always nice to beat the Chavski scum, especially at Wembley......and good for my eldest to kick off his Gooner Wembley debut with a win as I did 30 years ago. Hopefully he can avoid defeats to the likes of Luton and Birmingham

Thought we coped with them pretty well although if Morata had started I think he would have roughed our patched up back line......warning signs were there in the last 15 and I still wish we'd sign at least one centre half who can do the rough stuff. Holding is getting better but 1 more experienced CB in that mould would make a massive difference

Xhaka I have to say had his best game in the shirt - not been a fan at all (to say the least) but he was faultless today and passed really well. Most of the starting line did a decent job really. Wally by comparison was absolutely fucking gash as usual when he came on.

Thankfully we've found a way to win a shoot out without Cech having to make a save, which is just as fucking well really

The 18 point winning margin last season quickly forgotten... Wenger is a quick learner and all those pesky mistakes have all been put right. The league is ours......

I guess you said the same of Chamakh and gervinho when we bought them as well??

Thought we won on penalties??
How can the tactics be "perfect" if we didn't actually win in normal time. Just saying....

Had a great day out ,picked the boy up from church ,took him to the adventure playground on Highbury Fields followed by swimming at Archway leisure before a feast including strawberries and ice cream .
Saw some people in red and white shirts scurrying around Angel Tube and wondered if something was happening .
Took a train home later and saw a sight rarer than spotting's of the Siberian Lynx ,Some black Chelsea supporters wearing their shirts !

50 million is chump change in this market , He's a good striker from a lower league if you want a top top striker then go and get Neymar , I am sure PSG would take a profit.

WOW! That IS Rare......do they know they're not supposed to - wear chav shirts and ride the same tube/train as the rest of the non-black chavscum.

Just gotta hope they blaze 1 high and wide!

And they obliged...the one that did hit the target crashed in..while helmut head was on his knees on the opposite side of the goal.

It's what TOF would refer to as 'Special Circumstances'.
