Thought there were some cracking goals from Arsenal. Am a football fan first and foremost and was excited to see MOTD back.
Great curtain raiser. Super Cup coming up soon - Real Madrid v Sevilla but without Rakitic at Sevilla now,it could be a walkover :(

The Community Shield evolved from the Sheriff of London Charity Shield that had been introduced in 1898–99[2] as a professionals versus amateurs cup (the gentlemen and players tradition).[3] The Football Association Charity Shield, as it was known at the time, was designed to replace the Sheriff of London Charity Shield after the leading amateur clubs fell out with the FA.[4] The new format was to have the Football League First Division champions play the Southern League champions, and the first match was in 1908 between Manchester United (the First Division champions) and Queens Park Rangers (the Southern League champions). The match was drawn 1–1, so the game was replayed when Manchester United won 4–0. This is the only Charity Shield game to go to a replay. Both games were played at Stamford Bridge.[2]


Well how about that... An interesting bit of history there.
