2013 FA Community Shield - Manchester United v Wigan Athletic - Sunday 11th August ** spoilers **

[The Running Man]

Of course it isn't a major trophy. It ranks as the lowest of any that a premierleague team could possibly win, including the carling cup.

i'd also rank it below the European super cup and the world club cup, so it cannot be a major trophy as it is the most inconsequential title you can win.

 

[Loki]

Win a trophy, first thing to do, think of Liverpool. Oh it is lovely

On the contrary, win a trophy and first thing Liverpool fans do is claim it's not a proper trophy. Clinging onto that 'History' by the barest of threads

But we won it right.

Just so I am clear the record books say this years Community shield winners are Man Utd or does it say won by Man Utd but not a proper trophy according to NickG ?

 

[NokkonWud]

Think Anderson might have found his level........now lets find him a team so he can play championship games all season instead of EPL

Doesn't say much for the majority of our other players then!

Are you claiming that the Charity Shield is a major trophy?

...meh it may not be a major trophy but its a trophy nonetheless.

 

[The Running Man]

No but don't take what I said out of context I'm glad we won and the entry requirements to be in the charity shield are the two tiughest in the English league . But no one is thinking it's a major title.

Liverpool fans on facebook?

I'm pretty sure had Utd lost we'd have Utd 'fans on facebook' saying the same.

Do you honestly think Anderson will ever be consistant enough to play for Utd, given how long he has already been there?

He only got onto the pitch today because others were not fit enough (and signings havent yet been made)

Edit - At lesst Moyes has won more in 6 weeks than Arsenal have in 7 years

more comedy on the kop this season ?

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

In all honesty im sick of Liverpool fans talking about history all the time, they always always bring up 2005 and bashed on about 18 league titles until United over took them. We know u have a long history u never stop bringing it up thats the problem.

Who the hell's mentioned anything? Loki's imaginary friends on facebook?

The only person in this thread who has mentioned Liverpool's history is Loki, and he's a Utd fan

Just got back, was a fairly dull game really. Great goal by RvP but we just sat off immediately on the 1-0 lead Zaha got on the ball a lot but was a bit over ambitious with the tricks and dribbles, very much like early Ronaldo really. Welbeck played quite well, his movement off the ball was impressive. Jones started really well at CB then moved to right back and we remembered he can't pass, dribble or cross

Valencia came on and was pretty rubbish again, just afraid to run at people and cross it. Also why has he given up shirt number 7? No idea why we had no strikers on the bench and then took both off, made the last ten minutes a bit odd.

You've signed Ronaldo.

if Welbeck continues to play as much this season as he did last then I might have to follow a different team or sport. It is utterly embarrassing to watch him on a weekly basis.
