I bet it'll be a crap match, United - Chelsea matches generally are.

Man Utd to win, Valencia will run rings around Cole.
Owen will score 2 if he starts.

Soldato
Im not too sure. It could go either way but then again it could be a draw. I just can't decide :s
Feel free to discuss this in the weekend football thread ?

Chelsea aren't ready to beat last season's Champions, even though they will be weakened by the loss of Ronaldo and Tevez to some extent.
Chelsea's pre-season against 2 poor MLS sides, 2 half-hearted Italian sides & Reading (who were the best of the 4) is no way to prepare a team under a new manager with his alien system for the reality of English football at the highest level.
Man.U. to win 2-0.
Which by the way will be a bonus as it'll only make Chelsea try harder in training
Add spoilers to the title in future, you should know that by now

Bit nervous about the upcoming weekend. Newly promoted Exeter have two promotions on the bounce under their belts, and we've played a newly relegated Prem side, a new Prem side and a solid Prem side in our last three games, unbeaten in the lot and winning the last.
Set up for a fall?

The geordie game on BBC? Whats that all about?
Two of the biggest teams in the league playing on the first day, why wouldn't it be on the telly?
If you mean why on BBC specifically its because they've bought the rights for about ten games or something this season.

Your second point answered my query.
Biggest team in the league will be playing on SS HD on Friday, should be a cracker. Come on Boro

Pth what's all this Charity Shield nonsense, this thread is for the proper football surely! :d
Forgot that Exeter had crept up into League One, bet Leeds etc are looking forward to the away game there

Soft spot for Cambridge Utd through all their travails, went to see a couple of games while Uni'ing there - Plymouth, Cambridge, Exeter (yes ignore the rivalry), Torquay I think are the clubs I keep an eye out for on the ticker
First game of the season and we're mangerless and chairmanless.
Wish us luck
Ditto (Newcastle)
Except we've still technically got a chairman/owner (still not gone) and manager (stand-in).
So not ditto
But I know how you feel.
