Arsenal to win on penalties with Cech saving the day. Chelsea to park the bus as usual.

Pretty much treated as a friendly in Spain. Not sure about other countries.
The games between Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico have been very intense and competitive over the last few years. I think the Spanish Super Cup has definitely been taken more seriously by Spanish teams than the Community Shield has been by English teams for a while now.

Refuse to pay £5 a month + £4 a month for HD when it was absolutely free when you're a BT broadband customer only last year, even on Sky. Sky Sports is so, so much better.

Arsene in a suit. Jose dressed like he's nipped out to the corner shop for a pint of milk and a Kit Kat.

I agree, but I'm talking more about the aftermath. They may be taken seriously at the time but let's be honest no fan of any of the losing clubs are cut up about it.

Shit, pointless game but footballs back so im watching it!

They just talked about how wenger has never beaten mourinho in 17 encounters. Now, as bad as that may seem, im site there are many managers with a similar record.

In fact, how many times did SAF beat mourinho? How many times have utd at all beat mourinho? I think i remember one home game a while ago...

What? No, it isn't. Never has either. In fact, England seems to be the only place where it's derided/mocked as a "glorified friendly" despite it being an official competition. Strange mentality, in my opinion.

Might be a glorified friendly, but it sure gets you in the mood for the season. Arsenal to win on penalties.

Watching a stream so apologies if I'm a bit behind but... did Michael Owen just say Falcao was an inspired signing?

There was more to our success than VDS having signed
As good as he was, he wasn't the sole catalyst as BT are making out

He did. Owen used to be a striker you know. He keeps telling us.
God. "More of a Chelsea player than a United one"? He's more of an utter bollocks player now than a good one, more like.

I'd love to see who else went for Owen's job.

He also said cech is a world class keeper.

Think he's gone full tilt

I'm so desperate for some proper football to watch that I've found a pretty shit stream with no sound (probably better than listening to BT's commentary team).

Absolutely hate how Sky have got close to feck all this season.
