Community Shield
Wembley - Sunday 5 August 2007 (1500 BST)
I hope we lose
2-1. Utd storm 2-0 ahead through a magnificent Rooney double, before Shevchenko scores a tap in from a Lampard deflected shot that was poorly saved by VDS.
Look at the history, we do not want to win this game
Hmm...my local TV just showed the 2005/6 Charity Shield match
Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 with 2 goals from Drogba. They went on to win the league.

We always lose to Chelsea 
We always lose to Chelsea
They beat us once out of 3 games last season?
No, we lose to chelsea too many times for my liking, we have to win.
we need to set the record straight. I predict a 4-0 drubbing of the London gulags
Utd never bother with this pointless pre-season friendly so I wont be surprised if we lose it as Mourinho will try his hardest to beat us.
The only problem we will have is the media taking advantage saying Chelsea have the edge over us in the coming season.

testicles to the media pressure.
3-0 Wes Brown hatrick.
Our record has been poor against the renties as of late and that FA cup defeat must still be in the player's heads, it's about time we gave the mercenaries a drubbing.
You've already concluded we'll lose then?
For me, as long as Anderson starts i'd be satisfied.
He won't, we will probably play O'Shea as a central midfielder again...
You're shit at matchday threads, bad lucker.
1-1 boring game, i hope im wrong
chelsea are still shite
United 1-0 Chelsea
tevez 90
tevez 90
We will lose 3-0.
Neville might be back according to skysports.
either we'll win by a one goal margin or chelsea will win courtesy of a deflected goal. id prefer the win.
a good result would be for either cech or terry to get injured. or drogba.

i've rubbed my balls (they aren't crystal but they will have to do) and i'm going for 2-1 to United
Carrick and Ronaldo, with some diving cnut for them

Hargreaves may play. With Carrick.
I havent concluded that we will lose, just saying that if we do lose then it will have no bearing on the new season.
think O'Shea will get his first game
1-0
wes brown o.g. 89'

I hate that with all our new signings we stil look likely to start with O'Shea in midfield!
Play Fletch!
Should be a decent game hopefully bearing in mind its technically a friendly.

Canada...meh.
We will probably lose this one, our defence is shite...
1-2 to Chelsea my guess

1:0 Tevez to come of VIP Box and score with over-head kick
United miss new faces in Shield
TEAMTALK.COM
Although Sir Alex Ferguson has signed three new players, Owen Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson, with another to come in Carlos Tevez at some point early next week, none is likely to be in the Premier League champions' starting line-up.
Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs are expected to spearhead United's attack as they look for revenge after losing the FA Cup final to Jose Mourinho's men at the same venue in May.
Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Brown, Bardsley, Pique, Simpson, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Silvestre, Evra, Ronaldo, Fletcher, O'Shea, Carrick, Eagles, Giggs, Rooney.

That's a disappointment. Basically we'll put out the same side that was toothless about them in the Cup.
And i've kind of lost faith in Giggs' to trouble defences like Chelsea anymore. I think he's got a good flick here and there left in him, but other than that, physically he will get outmuscled and outpaced by Chelsea.
Fletcher instead of Eagles please
We should play Nani on the opposite wing to Ronaldo, we will fecking tear them apart if we do. But it seems he's playing today aagainst Peterborough instead
I'm sure 100% that the line-up will be:
-------------------------------VDS-------------------------------
Brown--------------Rio---------------------Vida--------------Evra
Ronaldo------------Carrick---------------Fletch------------Eagles
---------------Rooney-------------------Giggs.-------------------
-------------------------------VDS-------------------------------
Brown--------------Rio---------------------Vida--------------Evra
Ronaldo------------Carrick---------------Fletch------------Eagles

We need to win this at all costs.
I agree, I'm not too sure about Eagles though. I would like to see Nani play his part but it's unlikely.
He may even play O'shea at left back and push Evra forward to left midfield.
