Community Shield requires you to be the Champion of England or FA Cup..

Not always. This year we contested it just for finishing second.

 

[jod23]

You won the Champions League? No one knew.

Yeah mate. We're the champions of Europe.

Let's talk about six baby.

 

[jod23]

Agree mate. This is a decent trophy to win for mine too.

Yep definitely want to win. I'll be watching and hoping to see Hendo lift another trophy for us!

Against the team who did what?

Won both. But it still makes my statement correct.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

It's a glorified friendly. Imagine getting in a tizzy over scheduling surrounding it.

Would be great to see Frank kick off his 2nd Chelsea career with a cup. Should be a cracker.

Nope. Runner up in league contests it if winner of FA Cup / League are the same.

That you came second? No s**t.

The point was it's difficult to qualify for the Community Shield too, doesn't make it prestigious.

Super Cup definitely holds more prestige than the Community Shield. Either way it's a trophy and I wanna win It!

So you watch the match each year?

The only thing bigger is the Audi Cup IMO

Is that because you should win it and that is your excuse for losing the Community Shield?

 

[jod23]

Not really. If you told me we could only win one of the two before both matches I would have picked the Super Cup. But I wanted to win both. Hopefully we can at least get one.

 

[jod23]

If my team is in it.

Super Cup is an important trophy if you win it, glorified friendly if you don't. Much like the community shield.

You want to win but it's not the end of the world if you don't.

Think there's a bit of money in the supercup though.

 

[chef]

We're ****ed.

This is a bit like when you started losing the PL and decided that you don't care and that the Champions League is the ultimate tournament.

4.5mill Euros for the winner, 3.5mill Euros for the loser. You might as well not give a s**t if the difference is one players 4 week salary.

Giroud is such a muppet. Always trying to score the perfect overhead kick goal lol.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

That was deserved

 

[Loonerty]

Really strong effort so far. Pedro here is a different player to against United.

Making Liverpool look second rate at the minute. Pulisic very unlucky not to have made it two

 

[RPCB]

Wasn’t expecting that at all. Chelsea were all over Liverpool.
