The FA Community Shield - Chelsea v Manchester City *spoilers* [12th August 2012]

[No1newts]

A charity shield with some bite and pace to it!?!??? Good start!

Edit: Mikel is rubbish, can't believe ManU/Chelski were fighting over him at one point

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Savic on a yellow already

 

[6thElement]

Just turned on and it took me a few minutes to work out what ground it was being played at. Despite being half empty, probably the largest attendance at Villa Park in a while

 

[Robert1986]

This is going only one way. Chelsea can't get out of their own half.

 

[shipinabottle]

Lol hazard.

 

[Loki]

Lots of empty Seats in the 'Champions' End. Considering that they haven't played a Charity Shield that has been broadcast in Colour yet, you would have thought they would have put a bit of effort in. Must be too big time for games like this now

 

[Robbo]

Torres! 1-0

 

[cm1179]

pfffft torres

 

[The_One]

chuffed for torres

 

[No1newts]

Get in

Wait for the Champions League group games, we got more for a europa league quali it would seem.

Also Torres top scorer 12/13

 

[Cosimo]

.... and so it starts.

 

[Bucket]

Savic a bit lucky there.

And then Chelsea get a red!?!

 

[cm1179]

wow bye bye ivanovich

 

[explicit4u]

Ivanovic gets a straight red

Studs were up but I wouldn't give that a red

 

[Robbo]

Red for Ivanovic.

A bit harsh, tbh.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Definite red card. Studs to the shin but Savic should've also seen red seconds earlier.

 

[cm1179]

townsend doesn't think that's a red card. i disagree.

 

[Purdy]

Cheerio, horrible player.

 

[Cosimo]

That's not a red.
